		Matsuoka was an exponent of Japanese expansion: an official of the South Manchurian Railroad, twice a member of the Diet, a politician seriously aiming at the premiership and, as foreign minister, a phenonmenon on the international stage.
		At that point he was considered as a last-ditch envoy to the USSR and as premier in a regime that planned to kidnap Hirohito and continue the struggle from the caves of central Honshu, an episode not covered in Lu's 1981 work.
		A year after the drama in Geneva made him famous, Matsuoka launched himself into right-wing politics by advocating the dissolution of political parties and the union of all Japanese under the Emperor (the embodiment of the state), the elimination of liberalism, and the establishment of a controlled economy, all familar fascist ideas.

		Obvious benefits would result from this: improved relations with the Soviets would increase the chance of persuading Stalin to cease aiding China's Nationalist regime, and allow some reorientation away from the Soviet threat, as well as sending a signal to the Americans that Japan was not at all isolated.
		Now, on June 23rd, a shattered Matsuoka, who had ignored German hints at their upcoming offensive when he had visited Berlin in April, ruefully admitted to the Cabinet that he had misjudged.
		He went on to propose that Japan now join the Germans in their attack on the Soviets, a proposal so incredible when coming from the very architect of the neutrality pact that a cabinet member asked it to be repeated.

		By accepted theory about Matsuoka diplomacy, Matsuoka had a plan that was a completion of quadripartite entente by Japan, Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union.
		However, though Matsuoka concluded the Tripartite pact and Russo-Japan neutrality treaty, Matsuoka opposed U.S.-Japan negotiations and Matsuoka diplomacy became a long-term cause of the U.S.-Japan war.
		This paper challenges the existing theories about the Matsuoka diplomacy and revises them through an examination of the primary documents and archival materials.
