	Forgiving the Culprits: Japanese Historical Revisionism in a Post-Cold War Context - Ingyu Oh and Douglas ...
		Japanese nationalism, or tôa renmei ron, is an elite ideology for Japanese racial supremacy on the one hand and Japanese male chauvinism on the other.
		Japanese nationalism, thus, was not a national-liberation ideology suited for ex-colonial residents.
		In this sense Japanese revisionists are rejuvenating the specters of the prewar imperialists, blurring the distinction between the prewar and the postwar Japanese.

	Japanese nationalism Summary
		Japanese nationalism is a generic title, referring to a complex series of patriotic and nationalist ideas held in Japan.
		The Showa Emperor (Emperor Hirohito, during his lifetime) was considered the symbol of Japanese nationalist ideology, the center of State Shintoism, Chief of the Imperial Government, and object of the National Emperor-worship cult.
		Japanese citizens were rallied to the "Defensive State" or "Consensus State", in which all efforts of the nation supported collective objectives, by guidance from national myths, history and dogmas, obtaining a "national consensus".

	PM - Japanese nationalism re-emerges
		A new generation of Japanese waived the same Hinamaru [phonetic] - or Rising Sun flag - their fathers and grandfathers fought under half a century earlier, only this time the occasion is usually a sporting event, such as a World Cup Soccer qualifier.
		Japanese youth culture is dominated by bubble-gum pop groups, and a cute pink cartoon character known as "Hello Kitty".
		But many Japanese who are happy to wave the Hinamaru flag and sing the Kimigayo anthem do not approve of the ultra-Rights attempts to defend Japans role in the Pacific War, or support the call for a more aggressive defence policy.

	Japanese nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese nationalism, also known as Japanese imperialism or Japanese nationalist ideology is a generic title, referring to a complex series of patriotic and nationalist ideas held in Japan.
		It was the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy; and also, one of best-known Japanese nationalist symbols from the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) to the Pacific War (1941-45).
		After the Japanese surrender in August 1945, the whole structure was dismantled by the Allied occupation authorities in the whole Japanese Empire and Japanese-held territories.

		The report failed to note, however, that according to opinion polls, the percentage of Japanese having warm feelings toward South Korea increased from 36 percent in 1996 to 57 percent as of 2004.
		But it is seldom reported that the textbook - which only 0.4 percent of Japanese schools have adopted - describes World War II this way: "This war caused huge damage and suffering to the people of the various regions of Asia that had become the field of battle.
		Nationalism runs strongly during the formation of nation-states; established democratic states do not need nationalism for legitimacy of rule.

	Uncertain legacy: Japanese nationalism after Koizumi - Asia - Pacific - International Herald Tribune
		On the one hand, there is a clear grasp among the Japanese that the postwar era is over and they are at last "post-postwar," no longer tethered to the heavy stones that held them during the decades after the surrender.
		While few Japanese of any political persuasion argue for a disruption of relations with the United States, Koizumi's performance with the Americans is viewed widely here as almost obsequious.
		Abe may thus be less beholden to elements representing an older, somewhat archaic kind of nationalism in the Japanese context.

	textbooks
		In their discussion on Japanese education and nationalism, Nozaki Yoshiko and Inokuchi Hiromitsu state history is composed of “narratives of ‘nation’ and a nation’s past are powerful tools that can involve people in a shared sense of identity, clarifying who ‘we’ are and where ‘we’ come from.”
		In considering Fujioka’s argument, one must determine the justifiability of the alteration of historical texts and the transmission to students of a biased education as means of fortifying Japanese nationalism.
		It is apparent that nationalism is an unstable entity, easily manipulated by the dominant ruling power, and that textbooks serve as the dominant fashion in which to propagate this ever-changing sense of national identity.

		An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 Chinese demonstrators marched to the Japanese Embassy in Beijing, throwing stones at the facility; additionally, on April 10, an estimated 20,000 demonstrators marched in two cities in southern Guangdong province, with protestors attacking a Japanese department store in Shenzhen.
		Fomenting nationalism among the Japanese population is a necessary development to increase support for a stronger military.
		The organization that authored the controversial textbooks, the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, consists of nationalist academics who are "deeply concerned by the very serious state of history education in Japan." Nobukatsu Fujioka, the vice chairman of the organization, explains that Japan is currently "educating our children using unsubstantiated, wartime, enemy propaganda.

	Japanese Nationalism in the Tohoverse
		This is especially remarkable given that nationalism has been considered an anathema in postwar Japanese culture, blamed as it is for the country’s precipitous fall into military dictatorship and war, with devastation as the result.
		Additionally, the Japanese member of the team, Emi - who only participated because she was told that the time-travel mission involved convincing Japan to share power with other nations in the future - helps the twentieth-century protagonists to put a stop to the time-travelers’ plan and keep the two monsters from destroying the entire nation.
		Interestingly, both American and Japanese souls are supposedly resident in Godzilla, with the Americans seeking revenge on their old enemy, and the Japanese venting their rage at being lied to and manipulated into giving their lives for a war that was needless and, ultimately, unwinnable.

	Aikido and Nationalism
		For a Japanese, being born into a certain "unique" race and being a fully paid up participant in a highly traditional culture are not one and the same.
		To me it is highly unlikely, in view of his education and training at the hands of two exponents of traditional Japanese culture, that he would have dissociated himself from the rise of Japanese nationalism.
		But militarism and nationalism are not quite the same and there is a danger that 0-Sensei is taken out of his proper historical context and made into a kind of icon.

	The Youthful Face of Japanese Nationalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		While the frustrations of young Japanese toward their Asian neighbors comes partly as a reaction to China and South Korea's strenuous anti-Japan backlash, the root of the issue, however, concerns the structural problems that post-Cold War Japan faces.
		Another aspect of growing nationalism that will need to be controlled is the tendency for young Japanese people-and indeed their counterparts in China and South Korea-to look to external forces outside their countries to blame for their woes.
		If growing nationalism among the young people of Japan were to lead to such developments, then it should be considered a welcome force for change.

	JPRI - Members in the Media
		What should concern observers now is not a supposedly new Japanese nationalism but rather the radicalization of an otherwise stable and healthy Japanese nationalism that increasingly resents the ongoing subordination of its sovereignty and interests to its former conqueror and Cold War ally, the United States.
		What has recently brought Japanese nationalism to the fore has more to do with American presumptions about how the Japanese should feel about their own interests and circumstances than it does with the strong and ubiquitous nationalistic currents that have long been agitating Japan's national character.
		Thus Japan's nationalism, brewing for decades beneath a cosmetic veil of pacifism, seems to be going with the flow of the return of the nation-state.

	ejcjs - Media Intimidation in Japan: A Close Encounter with Hard Japanese Nationalism
		Prime Minister Mori's recent slip, that Japan was a "divine nation centered on the emperor," is only the latest example of how apparently extreme rightist posturing, like calls for the restoration of the emperor's powers and denials of well-documented war crimes, find echoes all the way up to the top of Japan's dim political corridors.
		This analysis, that there is some central drive within Japanese culture, to harmonize and transform "discordance" into consensus is superficially plausible but fails to explain where this drive comes from or what interests might be served by it.
		Comfortably wrapped in the notion that Japanese life is ruled by harmony and consensus, and in the relative absence, even as an ideal, of the conceptual freedoms built up over generations in other societies, it is not difficult to understand why in many instances compromise comes easiest.

	Mori's 'gaffes' point to a revival of right-wing Japanese nationalism
		But now the hearts of the Japanese people are weary, and patriotism that respects the ancient and good Japanese tradition and culture has weakened.” The statement called for renewed efforts to ensure that official visits were made to the Yasukuni Shrine.
		The turn by Mori and the LDP to the politics of nationalism is an attempt to create a social base for themselves as the next government comes under pressure to press ahead with a program of drastic economic restructuring that will further erode the living standards of the working class.
		Whatever the immediate consequences of Mori's remarks in the lead up to national elections on June 25, the prime minister's espousal of Japanese nationalism is a further symptom of growing international conflicts between the major powers and sharpening social tensions in Japan itself.

		It is far more alarming that people on top of organizations and the Government seem to think different, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are still of that generation that lived through the war or fought the war.
		Look at it from their perspective: The last time Japan carried emotions of strong nationalism resulted in a period when they felt that they were better than everyone else.
		One can argue that because the non-head Japanese officers were not held accountable for their actions, the blame is passed along to the general Japanese government and populace.

		The causes of growing Japanese nationalism may be diverse, but they are increasingly driven by one overwhelming factor: a fear of the rise of China.
		The rise of Japanese nationalism should be seen alongside another trend: the increasingly close links between Japan and the US.

		Right-wing, fascist nationalism in Japan is on the rise.
		Emboldened by the recent rise in nationalism, an increasingly militant group of extreme right-wing activists who yearn for a return to 1930s-style militarism, emperor-worship and "thought control" have begun to move into more mainstream circles -- and to attack those who don’t see things their way.
		But it needs a healthy nationalism -- not the hawkish, strident variety that is lately forcing many of the country’s best lights to dim their views.
