This study tried to clarify the normative aspects of multiculturalism under the constitution of Japan, especially the normative relationship between multiculturalism and affirmative action, through the comparative study between Japan and Canada in which multiculturalism is provided as the constitutional principle. The conclusion of this study is as follows : at least the group, as well as the individual members of the group, which have been discriminated by the government and the maintenance of the culture of the group is difficult as a result of the discrimination, should have the right to claim certain affirmative action.
