Minzoku-ha (民族派, lit. "ethnic nationalist groups"[1][2]) orNew Right (新右翼,shin-uyoku)[3] is a Japaneseethno-nationalist faction that emerged afterpostwar Japan.
Minzoku-ha are known to be "anti-American" (反米保守, lit. "anti-Americanconservative") than mainstream conservatives orJapanese nationalists. It originated among the student agitations of the 1960s and 1970s, many of whom were followers ofYukio Mishima.
In postwar Japan, mainstream conservatives prioritized "anti-communism" (反共主義) over Japanese "ethnic nationalism" (民族主義) in the context of the Cold War; however,minzoku-ha was critical of thepro-Americanism of mainstream conservatives.Minzoku-ha grew up influenced by Yukio Mishima's nationalism and theJapanese New Left.[4][5]
