From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Japanese nationalism refers to the Nhật Bảnese version of nationalism, and encompasses a broad range of ideas and sentiments entertained by the Japanese people over the last two centuries regarding their native country, its cultural nature, political form and historical destiny. It is useful to distinguish Japanese cultural nationalism (see, nihonjinron) from political or state-directed nationalism (see, Japanese imperialism), since many forms of cultural nationalism, such as those associated with folkloric studies (see, Yanagita Kunio), were hostile to state-fostered nationalism.
Japanese nationalism provided a political and ideological foundation for the actions of the Japanese military (Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy forces) in the years leading up to World War II. Despite its distinctive features (Emperor worship and the ethno-religious character of the state), Japanese nationalism served the same function as and drew inspiration from similar ideologies developed under Western Fascism.
