Abstract: Since the 1980s, the issue of historical conception has increasingly become a critical cause for the tension between Japan and its neighboring countries as well as the decline of national sentiment. The rightwing forces visited the Yasukuni Shrine, made up history textbooks, and published strange comments devoid of humanity. These behaviors stimulated the strong reaction from the neighboring countries that suffered in the past, caused diplomatic protests and/or public demonstrations, and consequently had a negative impact on the establishment of free trade communities in Northeast Asia and the maintenance of peace in the region. In the final analysis, the behaviors of the rightwing forces, such as distorting history and beautify aggression, are closely related to Emperor Hirohito’s “Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War” and the resulting “view of the history of termination of the war”. The publication of the rescript also reflected the result of the game between the United States and Japan before Japanese defeat. In short, the root of the historical conception of Japanese rightwing forces is complicated, and a multiangle analysis is needed to grasp its essence.
