Nippon Kaigi

Nippon Kaigi is a conservative Japanese organization founded in 1997 that advocates for traditional values, national sovereignty, and revision of Japan’s pacifist constitution. It promotes historical revisionism, including minimizing wartime atrocities, and supports policies aligned with nationalist and ultra-conservative perspectives. The group has significant influence within Japan’s political and educational sectors, with many politicians, including members of the ruling party, involved or sympathetic to its aims. While not an officially governmental body, Nippon Kaigi’s activities shape debates on Japan’s identity, history, and military policy, reflecting a shift toward emphasizing Japan’s cultural heritage and national pride.
