The first Yamagata cabinet ( Japanese 第 1 次 山 縣 内閣 , daiichiji Yamagata naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Lieutenant General Count Yamagata Aritomo from December 24, 1889 to May 6, 1891.
After the resignation of Lieutenant General Kuroda Kiyotaka and the interim government of Prince Sanjō Sanetomi , the Meiji oligarchy agreed on Interior Minister Yamagata as his successor, an outspoken opponent of political parties that formed in preparation for the Meiji constitution and the establishment of the Reichstag . Like its predecessor, Yamagata's cabinet was a han-batsu naikaku ( 藩 閥 内閣 ; dt. About "Klansabinett"), which was mainly recruited from the four former southern Japanese fiefs ( han ) who had carried out the Meiji Restoration: Yamagata's home Chōshū , Kuroda's homeland of Satsuma , Tosa and Hizen .
The Meiji Constitution came into force in November 1890, and the bourgeois parties had won a majority in the first general election and called for tax cuts and spending cuts. Yamagata did not want to work with the political parties, but could not expect a new majority in new elections after the dissolution of the lower house; After several weeks of negotiations, a compromise was reached for the 1891 budget. Yamagata resigned in early May. On his recommendation, Finance Minister Matsukata was appointed as his successor.
With Mutsu Munemitsu, who won a seat in the first constituency of Wakayama Prefecture in the 1890 election, an elected member of parliament was the first to belong to a cabinet.
