==Second premiership (1908–1911)== {{seealso|Second Katsura Cabinet}} [[File:Prince Katsura Tarō.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Katsura Tarō]] Katsura returned as prime minister from 14 July 1908, to 30 August 1911. His second premiership was noteworthy for the [[Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty]] of 1910 to [[Korea under Japanese rule|colonize Korea]]. He also promulgated the Factory Act in 1911, the first act for the purpose of labor protection in Japan. Katsura was increasingly unpopular during his second premiership over public perception that he was using his office to further both his personal fortune and the interests of the military ''([[gunbatsu]])'' over the welfare of the people. {{citation needed|date=August 2009}} He also faced growing public dissatisfaction over the persistence of the ''[[hanbatsu]]'' domainal based politics. After his resignation, he became a ''kōshaku'' (公爵 = prince), [[Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal of Japan]] and one of the ''[[genrō]].''
