Minzoku-ha (æ°ÂæÂÂæ´¾, lit. "ethnic nationalist groups") or New Right (æ°å³翼, shin-uyoku) is a Japanese ethno-nationalist faction that emerged after postwar Japan.
Minzoku-ha are known to be more anti-American (Ã¥ÂÂç±³ä¿Âå®Â, lit. "anti-American conservative") than mainstream conservatives or Japanese nationalists. It originated among the student agitations of the 1960s and 1970s, many of whom were followers of Yukio Mishima.
In postwar Japan, mainstream conservatives prioritized "anti-communism" (Ã¥ÂÂ報主義) over Japanese "ethnic nationalism" (æ°ÂæÂÂ主義) in the context of the Cold War; however, minzoku-ha was critical of the pro-Americanism of mainstream conservatives. Minzoku-ha grew up influenced by Yukio Mishima's nationalism and the Japanese New Left.
