Research Abstract |
Nationalist thought in Modern Japan saw the foundation of the polity of Japan not in some political action, but in the emotive relationship between the Emperor and his subjects. The thought of Origuchi Shinobu, who considered the sacred utterance of the Emperor as having ruling political power by and in itself, was its ultimate form. Certainly, the nationalist ideology did not always male an explicit form. In fact, various kinds of discourses were juxtaposed in the media, but they were ultimately framed in the cultural communalism as constituents of closed narrative of national community.
