	Introduction to Japan's Political Parties: 1874-1998
		The New Frontier Party (Shinshinto) was formed in December 1994 by a merger of the Japan Renewal Party, Komeito (Clean Government Party), Japan New Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, and other parties (excluding the Japanese Communist Party) outside the three-party ruling coalition of the LDP, SDP, and Sakigake.
		Shinshinto announced to disband on Dec. 25, and six new parties will be launched in early January.
		The other three parties expected to emerge include one made up of lawmakers loyal to Shinshinto head Ichiro Ozawa, one composed of supporters of his rival, Michihiko Kano, and a party to be set up by Upper House members who belonged to the former Komeito.

	Ozawa fails to bring Komei membership into Shinshinto fold \| The Japan Times Online
		Shinshinto President Ichiro Ozawa finally abandoned efforts Friday to persuade Komei leader Tomio Fujii to drop the party's plan to field its own proportional representation candidates in next summer's Upper House election.
		Shinshinto members did, however, decide to hold an election for party leader on Dec. 18, as scheduled.
		When Shinshinto was formed in December 1994 by a merger of eight parties and one parliamentary group, Lower House members of Komeito, Komei's predecessor, joined Shinshinto outright.

	THE VIRTUAL TIMES: Japan may finally be saying 'no' to itself
		Shinshinto's outrage came to a head at the end of January when they stormed out of the Diet when their demands for an explanation of why the taxpayer's money had to be spent for the bailout were ignored.
		Finally, in unprecedented resolve, Shinshinto formed a round-the-clock human barricade in front of the Lower House Budget Committee room on March 4, stalling deliberations, and demanded that the government delete its jusen scheme from the fiscal 1996 state budget.
		In addition to demands for dropping the jusen outlay in the budget, Shinshinto had also demanded sworn Diet testimony by Kato about a shady $100,000 donation from Kyowa Co., a defunct scandal-ridden firm that borrowed heavily from one of the moribund jusen.

		Shinshinto (New frontier Party) holds little promise now, as it seems unable to chart the nation's future.
		In this context, the issue of forming a third political force as a counterweight to the LDP and Shinshinto should be addressed from a wider perspective, not just from the standpoint of reviving the SDP.
		Shinshinto's Ozawa, an advocate of a free-market economy, believes in small government but some of his colleagues are not of the same mind.

	11/20/95 INT/JAPAN: THE POWER OF SOKA GAKKAI
		Shinshinto's chief rival, the L.D.P., like most parties in Japan, has been badly weakened by the political turmoil of the past two years and is terrified by the prospect of a showdown with Soka Gakkai, given its tacit support for Shinshinto.
		The Liberal Democrats' fears are well grounded: Shinshinto officials admit that in a July Upper House election, Soka Gakkai was responsible for about half the party's 12.5 million votes, the best showing by any political faction.
		Shinshinto denies that it receives any funds from Soka Gakkai and insists that Shinshinto is in the driver's seat.

	A Profile of Soka
		Shinshinto's Ozawa publicly acknowledged that half of the 12 million votes collected was delivered by Soka members.
		The opposition Shinshinto is led by Ozawa who was a member of the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party), the largest political party in Japan.
		On the other hand, if Soka continued with the Shinshinto, then LDP would proceed with the proposed new law and hopes that the envisaged resistance put up by the Shinshinto (and Soka) and the testimony to be made by Ikeda would again arouse the public's distaste for the Soka and the Shinshinto again.

		As it was formed from the original DPJ and fragments of its predecessor as the largest opposition party, Shinshinto, it embraces a wide range of both left- and right-wing ideologies.
		Relations between former members of the SDP, who left in protest at the coalition with the LDP in 1994-96, and former members of the LDP, who left in the upheavals of 1993-94, are often fraught.
		Shinshinto (New Frontier Party), which was formed in 1994 from the various remnants of the non-LDP coalition of 1993-94 (including former members of the LDP), was from the start riven by differences of ideology and personality, and split in 1997.

		Later in his career he studied under Taikei Naotane, then in 1895 he was ordered to become Kunaisho Goyo Tosho (Swordsmith to the Ministry of the Imperial Household), a high post that shows respect for his skill.
		The color of the steel and its grain structure reflect the teachings of the shinshinto Gassan school very well.

		Members of what was the largest opposition party were regrouping fast to fill in the missing pieces of the political jigsaw puzzle.
		Ozawa, who was re-elected to a two-year term as Shinshinto president on Dec. 18, triggered the turmoil Saturday by disbanding the party, which he helped found three years ago.
		Kano slammed Ozawa's high-handed action to dissolve Shinshinto, a public entity funded partly by state subsidies, adding that his new party will pursue Shinshinto's original goal.

		This is the case in the late Edo period (circa 1780) and marks the beginning of the Shinshinto sword period.
		During the Shinshinto era swords of all styles are made as copies of Koto blades, but most are copies of shortened tachi blades of the mid to late Muromachi era.
		With the opening of Japan to the West by Perry in the mid Nineteenth Century and the Meiji Restoration, the traditional Japanese sword nearly ceases to exist.

		This also was the case with Shinshinto (New Frontier Party), an opposition party formed in 1994 that many people expected to play a role in the emergence of a system in which power would alternate between two major parties.
		During the ordinary Diet session in 1996, however, Shinshinto members refused to attend Diet sessions and carried out a sit-in in front of the lower house Budget Committee chamber.
		Shinshinto's approach hurt its popular image so much that it broke up in late 1997.

		(c) Shinshinto was an amalgamation of nine former parties, including Shinseito, Komeito and the Japan New Party, and was disbanded in 1997.
		The party's unity is also uncertain—it was formed from the original DPJ and the fragments of its predecessor as largest opposition party, Shinshinto (New Frontier Party), and embraces a correspondingly wide range of ideologies, both left-wing and right-wing.
		Relations are often fraught between former members of the SDP who left it in protest at the party's coalition with the LDP in 1994-96, and the former members of the LDP, who left the party in the upheavals of 1993-94.

		LDP ranged from 210-245, NFP (Shinshinto) ranged from 120-150, and the Democratic Party (Minshuto) ranged widely from 40-75 seats.
		A surprising view was that Hashimoto may lose his Okayama district to Shinshinto agriculture-zoku expert and former minister, Kato Mutsuki.
		Also, turnout is expected to be low (in the 60 percentile) and the role of interest groups such as Sokkagakkai and organized labor is seen as uncertain.

	Masamitsu
		In the waning years of the Shinshinto period before the Meiji Restoration of 1868, there were many fine sword smiths still working in many different styles.
		There was a great amount of migration in the early to mid 1800’s of smiths in Higo, Owari, Osumi, and Satsuma as two other highly skilled Shinshinto smiths from Satsuma, Hoki no kami Masayuki(yoshi) and Yamato no kami Motohira, were called upon to instruct many students from the other branch schools.
		There is deeper sori than one would expect from a Shinshinto work again harkening to earlier forms from the Momoyama period.

		This week he has been in London, with eight young members of Shinshinto, the "New Frontier Party", of which he is leader.
		Shinshinto's support ratings are stuck at low levels; younger party members are now talking openly about breaking away to form a new New Party.

	A Lack of Ideology, Part II
		Shinshinto, formerly the largest opposition party, ran an opposition to the LDP strong enough that the LDP was forced to form a coalition with two other mid-size parties, and thus move a bit to the political center to pacify their more liberal coalition partners.
		But Shinshinto, run by the outspoken Ichiro Ozawa, fell apart after the last party election, in which Ozawa won, to the great dismay of some rather powerful Shinshinto politicians.
		The last remnant of Shinshinto is Ichiro Ozawa and his new Liberal Party, with 42 members in the Lower House.

	s97/26
		The early April agreement between the conservative LDP and right-leaning Shinshinto, the largest opposition force, to cooperate in passing legislation that allows the continued legal use by the U.S. military of land on Okinawa on which leases were about to expire started the rumor mill churning that these two parties would merge.
		Former Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa's resignation from Shinshinto shortly after the Diet recessed, coming only six months after ex-premier Tsutomu Hata and 12 followers split from the largest opposition party, appeared to substantiate the widely held view that Shinshinto was fracturing.
		Ho-ho rengo also may be hard to sell to voters in view of the fact that LDP and Shinshinto candidates fought tooth and nail in nearly all of the single-seat electoral districts in the October 1996 lower house elections.

	A Lack of Ideology, Part II
		The only thing that could be less productive would be to almost instantly announce that because the newly formed parties have common interests, they would work together in a loose confederation to unseat the majority, begging the question of why they split in the first place.
		Shinshinto, formerly the largest opposition party, ran an opposition to the LDP strong enough that the LDP was forced to form a coalition with two other mid-size parties, and thus move a bit to the political center to pacify their more liberal coalition partners.

	Electoral Reform in Japan?
		This means that the new electoral system has a strong element of majoritarianism; the largest, best organized parties are likely to gain the most seats at the expense of the smaller parties.
		While the LDP is unpopular, its support remained higher than that for Shinshinto (22% to 8%), according to an April 1995 survey by one of Japan's leading newspapers.
		In fact, it is likely that the heavy dose of first-past-the-post voting will exacerbate personalized politics, as the LDP and Shinshinto are both conservative parties with few policy differences.

	KOYAMA MUNETSUGU — SHINSHINTO GENIUS
		It was thought that this might indicate the work of the second generation, but the existence of a blade showing this feature together with an inscription stating Munetsugu’s age as being 66, seems conclusive proof that this was done in Munetsugu’s later years.
		The strong shape and large proportions (good length, heavy feel, wide mihaba and long kissaki etc.) as well as the muji-hada, do nothing to hide the fact that this sword was made in the shinshinto period, but it does lack the clumsy and unbalanced feel of the less skilfully made pieces of the period.
		Amazingly this sword, in spite of its undeniably quality and superficial age, is actually the work done in the shinshinto period by Koyama Munestugu, as appraised by Mr Iida and Mr Tokuno at the To-ken Society’s London shinsa in 1989.
