The hard-won lessons of Japan's wartime defeat are enshrined in its National Constitution and Article 9 in particular.... For the past seventy years, Article 9 remained a fundamental principle of Japanese diplomacy, undergirded by memories of the Asia-Pacific War and the U.S. occupation, buttressed by important revisionist histories of Japanese imperialism. A politically recovered, economically restored Japanese populace still appreciates the Constitution and the relevance of Article 9. But conservative politicians who never believed in the Constitution's ideals repeatedly challenged and worked around Article 9 despite the majority's support for it.... Today, once again, Article 9 stands in danger of abandonment by interpretation rather than revision by constitutional processes.
