Ultranationalism (Japan) Explained

See also: Ultranationalism. State ultranationalism[1] or simply ultranationalism (超國家主義 or 超国家主義, Chōkokkashugi; lit. "ultra-statism"),[2] refers mainly to the radical statist movement of the Shōwa period, but it can also refer to extreme Japanese nationalism before and after the Shōwa period.

State ultranationalists use the authority of the state/nation (国家) through Tennō as the focus of public loyalty.[1] Other Ikki Kita's "state socialism" or "national socialism" (国家社会主義) is a representative idea referred to as 超国家主義 in Japan.

Japanese liberal scholars, including Masao Maruyama, saw Japanese state ultranationalism as fascism and referred to it as,[3] [4] but Western scholars such as Roger Griffin and Robert Paxton believe it is not fascism.
