	Joint Study of the Sino-Japanese War: Summary of January 2000 Meeting
		The Japanese were reluctant to confront their Chinese colleagues on this issue, though one Japanese scholar grumbled openly at the continuing reiteration of the Chinese position.
		Japanese Pan-Asianism, which was influential in the army and which saw it as its task to bring about a modern Asia free from Western domination under Japanese guidance, did seek to keep China divided and prevent the emergence of a centralized Chinese nation-state.
		Japanese participants, on the other hand, noted that the Japanese forces in China remained undefeated at war's end and Western scholars present noted that the Sino-Japanese war had little impact on the outcome of the war in the Pacific.

	DIPLOMATIC BACKGROUND OF THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK
		The lawless acts of the Japanese military in carrying forward the invasion was a disgusting and degrading episode of rape, theft, and murder.
		The Japanese were out with force in collaboration with Hitler to establish a new world order, and they thought they had the power to compel all peaceful nations to come in under that new order in the half of the world they had arrogated to themselves.
		Japanese merchant vessels operating in the Atlantic Ocean were suddenly recalled; restrictions were imposed upon travel in Japan; strict censorship of mails and communications was effected; and conditions were generally imposed throughout the Empire presaging a major military effort.

		During the Meiji Restoration, the military forces loyal to the Emperor were samurai drawn primarily from the loyalist feudal domains of Satsuma and Choshu.
		Action by the military, largely independent of the civilian leadership, led to the invasion of Manchuria in 1931; and the subsequent Second Sino-Japanese War and Pacific War.
		Japanese nationalism meant that the military was built around a concept of the time period: a Rich Country has a Strong Military.

		TOKYO (AP) — Japan's military is undergoing a major transformation to give it more government clout and a bigger role in international peacekeeping while aligning it more closely with U.S. forces, a government report said Tuesday.
		The realignment, the result of years of negotiations, involves a streamlining of the U.S. military in Japan — including the transfer of some 8,000 Marines off the southern island of Okinawa to the U.S. territory of Guam.
		Japanese troops support anti-terror operations in Afghanistan and have served in non-combat operations in Iraq.

		Japanese soldiers took their family swords to battle with them, in very much the same way the shogun did hundreds of years before.
		Japanese military items are not as readily available as items from other countries.
		Part of the reason is the fact that the Japanese did not have a great abundance of resources their military items are not as well built as those produced by the Germans.

	Allan Topol: The Resurgence of Japanese Militarism
		Another one is the visit of the Japanese Prime Minister to the Yasukuni Shrine war memorial, which was popularly viewed as showing deference to the military.
		A third has been statements from some in Tokyo that the Japanese military did not behave as badly in China as has been popularly believed and that in any event that is all in the past.
		If we assume that the march toward an enhanced military in Japan is likely, that raises the question of whether it should be encouraged or discouraged by the United States.

	Japanese military flags
		Graham is correct in noting that both the army and the navy had a version of the Rising sun flag (Hinomaru) with rays; the naval version was off-set, with the red sun closer to the lanyard side, while the army's version (which was part of the regimental colors) was more centered.
		Anyone who has tried to draw the Japanese naval ensign will know that the 32 rays placed at 11.25degree intervals will not fit correctly (ie with rays at the corners) into a flag of 2:3.
		The triangular pennant is in ratio between 1:40 and 1:90, with the hoist part in ratio 2:3, containing a simplified variant of the naval ensign - the sun disk being in its center, with diameter half the hoist size.

	chez Nadezhda :: Sheathed Sword: Military Restraint and Japanese Security Policy
		Berger also distinguishes the Japanese experience from that of another defeated Axis power, Germany, by noting the degree to which the Japanese military as an institution, rather than virulent nationalist ideology, was blamed for the horror of war.
		The Japanese Defense Agency itself is disadvantaged and marginalized within the government; civilian control over the military is so absolute that, in the estimation of Peter Katzenstein, absent some form of “domestic political revolution” the development of any “autonomous and powerful military establishment” will remain impossible for the forseeable future.
		The stunning success of the American military against the Iraqi army in Operation Desert Storm was no less shocking for the torrent of criticism that was unleashed afterwards towards the Japanese for failing to come to the support of their ally.

		In the Boxer Rebellion and Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese military rightly earned a reputation for chivalry in combat, showing generosity to their defeated foes.
		Only a few decades later, the Japanese military was behaving barbarously to enemy soldiers and civilians alike, committing acts of murder, torture, and even cannibalism.
		What is not well known is that early in this century the Japanese were celebrated for their chivalry in warfare and for their kindness to enemy wounded and prisoners.

	ARMED FORCES JOURNAL - What the Japanese military needs - December 2005
		As mentioned here, this is the so-called "reviewing roles and mission sharing." As outlined by Shigeru Ishiba during his tenure as director-general of the Japan Defense Agency, the procurement agency for the Japanese military, future missions of the SDF will include ballistic missile defense, coping with invasions on remote islands, and so on.
		Consider the Japanese approach to the creation of a staff system, both as a matter for the alliance and in the context of building "jointness" among the SDF.
		The SDF must establish integrated forces in the true sense of the term in the future and they have to organize genuine joint forces with concerted efforts of the SDF under the strong leadership of the Joint Staff Office, to be newly organized in March next year.

		What happened during WW II at the hands of the Japanese army are facts beyond dispute, but Japanese military history should not completely be interpreted in that light.
		Not only this, but books should be written about Japanese military history by people that have direct access to primary and secondary Japanese sources and who therefore know what they are writing about.
		The author mentioned that the military teaching in Japan is different from what it used to be (less fanatical and emphasising towards the freedom of choice) but whether Japan would revert to its old self, or whether it would play a different role together, we are urged to wait and see.
