Abstract
- The article examines the characteristics of contemporary Japanese nationalism. Topics covered include the role of revisionist myth making since the 1960s in contemporary right wing identity politics, moral and patriotic education initiatives of Prime Minsiter Shnizo Abe and the view that Abe aims to overcome the reforms during the U.S. Occupation which debilitated Japan's political, social and educational systems.
