Ethnic nationalism in Japan
Ethnic nationalism in Japan (Japanese: 民族主義, Hepburn: minzoku shugi) or minzoku nationalism means nationalism that is espoused by members of Japan's dominant Yamato people or ethnic minorities.
In present-day Japan, statistics only count the size of their population in terms of nationality, rather than ethnicity, thus, the number of ethnic Yamato and the actual size of their community are ambiguous.
"Japanese ethnic nationalism" (Japanese: 日本民族主義, Hepburn: nihon minzoku shugi) is related to minzoku (民族), the Japanese word that translates to "people", "ethnic group", and "nation". Minzoku does not originally mean "race" in the general sense, and jinshu (人種) means "race", but some Japanese nationalists also use minzoku in a closer sense to "race"; Taro Aso, Yasuhiro Nakasone has called Japan a "one race" or "one minzoku". Prominent Japanese politicians have often kindled controversies by invoking the images of Japanese racial superiority.
Minzoku-ha (民族派, lit. "ethnic nationalist group") is a Japanese ethno-nationalist faction that emerged after postwar Japan. Minzoku-ha is considered to be the categories of Uyoku dantai.
Nihonjinron (日本人論: treatises on Japaneseness) is a genre of historical and literary work that focuses on issues of Japanese national and cultural identity.
"Yamato nationalism" (Japanese: 大和民族主義, Hepburn: yamato minzoku shugi) is an based on "Yamato people" (大和民族, yamato minzoku; literally "Yamato ethnicity" or "Yamato race"), the dominant population group in Japan.
During the Empire of Japan, Yamato nationalism is what inspired most Japanese soldiers and civilians at the time and made Japanese people feel racially superior to the Chinese people. Today, Yamato nationalism is deeply linked to xenophobic sentiment toward minority races/ethnic groups; due to the influence of Yamato nationalism, Zainichi Koreans who moved to Empire of Japan forcibly or voluntarily during the colonial Korea period and lived in Japan were not granted "citizenship" (国籍, kokuseki, lit: nationality) even after 1945.
"Ainu nationalism" (Japanese: アイヌ民族主義 or アイヌナショナリズム) is a means of asserting Ainu rights over ancestral land and today has been adopted as the favored term for Hokkaido.
