Japan Must Prepare for War Between U.S. and North Korea. North Korea's Nuclear Threat
Japan Focus introduction: Once the closest U.S. ally on North Korean issues, Japan is now feeling alone and isolated. The Bush administration has reversed its stance toward Pyongyang and appears to be on the verge of removing the country from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. China and South Korea are racing to invest money into North Korea. Russia backs both inter-Korean engagement and North Korea's integration into the global economy. Still…

Japan's Fiscal Health Requires Cuts of 27 Trillion Yen
Amid booming stock markets, record corporate profits, and talk of a Japanese economic recovery, it is easy to forget that the world economy is delicately poised atop twin peaks of debt. US public sector debt is now approaching the size of its GDP while Japan's is well over one and a half times and heading towards double its GDP. This means mountains of debt of about equal size on both sides of the Pacific, roughly 7 to 8 trillion dollars each. Vi…
China Gorging and Japan-China Resource and Energy Conflicts
Beginning on April 18, 2005, The Yomiuri Shimbun ran a 21-part series on “Planning National Strategies - Resources and Energy,” highlighting Japan's resource anxieties in the context of rising China-Japan tensions over issues that include the struggle for scarce oil and other natural resource and the voracious quest for energy by Japan's rapidly growing neighbor. The conflict is set within a global milieu in which oil prices soar to %50-60 a barr…
Koizumi's Statement on the Sixtieth Anniversary
The rituals of apology and the rituals of pride continue on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Japan's surrender, but with new twists in the context of Japan's election. The Prime Minister's two speeches on August 15 addressed, in turn, Japan's neighbors, particularly China and South Korea, and the LDP's rightwing supporters in the Japanese electorate. As Richard Parry observed in The London Times, in a statement approved by the Cabinet, the…
Yasukuni
Few institutions in Japan are as contested, controversial, and complex as Yasukuni Shrine. According to a recent editorial (June 6, 2005) in the Asahi Shimbun and published in Japan Focus, "Yasukuni Shrine... in the past served the purpose of providing a site to publicly manifest both grief and admiration for those who perished in conflict. In this sense, it functioned to enhance the will to fight and mobilize the populace for war
The Dead Bedevil Japan-Korea Relations
Japan's relations with both North and South Korea remain bedevilled by unresolved issues from the turbulent twentieth century, as illustrated by two cases concerning the remains of victims of a policy of abduction and exploitation across national borders. In the case of North Korea, negotiations over normalization remain stalled over the issue of the remains returned by North Korea in 2004 that supposedly belonged to Yokota Megumi, abducted to No…
Yasukuni Shrine, Nationalism and Japan's International Relations
For twenty years, Prime Ministerial visits to Yasukuni Shrine, have provided a flash point for Japan-China and Japan-South Korea clashes, together with conflicts over territorial and textbook issues. Yasukuni, Japan's war memorial, is a facility with close association with the Emperor. It preserves the remains of Japan's military war dead, enshrined as gods. It also includes the remains, among those of other leaders, of fourteen Class-A War Crimi…
South Korean Mistrust of Japan
As Japan's trade with South Korea and China continues to surge, there is mounting evidence of growing mistrust of Japan among its near neighbors. A recent poll conducted by Japan's Yomiuri and South Korea's Hankook newspapers is indicative. The poll comes in the wake of angry South Korean responses to Japanese claims to Takeshima/Tokdo islands, Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro's widely publicized Yasukuni Shrine visits, and the continuing controv…
