Today's story is about how traditional Japanese values ​​were invented in the 19th century, why Japanese nationalists invented the cult of the emperor and bushido, and why militarism in Japan hasn't disappeared since World War II. In this video, we discuss Japanese nationalism, Meiji ideology, the samurai myth, the war crimes of the Imperial Army, the Tokyo Trials, historical revisionism, the role of the yakuza, and the Japanese far right. Today, we'll examine the myth of the emperor's unlimited power, explain how Shinto and Confucian ideas formed the foundation of Japanese militarism, recall Pan-Asianism, the cult of Hirohito, and ideologists like Seigo Nakano and Yukio Mishima, and explore why modern Japanese nationalists continue to deny the Nanjing Massacre and other war crimes. The Redroom team wishes everyone a pleasant viewing experience. 00:00 - Introduction 01:23 - How traditional are "traditional values"? 15:41 - Our Subtle East, Their Barbaric West 32:52 - A War Crime Is Not a War Crime 51:57 - The Land of Unlearned Lessons Films used: [映] [映] [戦争と人間] [第一部] [運命の序曲] [前編] 13 Assassins (2010) Barefoot Gen (1983) BBC Arena The Strange Case of Yukio Mishima (1985) Confucius (2010) Eijanaika (1980) Gohatto (1999) Harakiri (1962) Himiko (1974) Kagemusha (1980) Kinkakuji (1976) Mishima Life in 4 Chapters (1985) No Regrets For Our Youth (1946) Rurouni Kenshin Part I Origins (2012) Shogun (2024) The Barbarian And The Geisha (1958) The Battle of Port Arthur (1980) The Last Samurai (2003) The Twilight Samurai (2002) Three Treasures (1959)
