Eh, I think that nationalism is very rampant. Remember the black trucks, blaring NIPPON, NIPPON!?
Anyway, look up Shintaro Ishihara - the present mayor of Tokyo. Read some of his comments and then realize that he`s one of the most popular ELECTED politicians in Japan. Prime-minister-in-waiting Shinzo Abe is also quite pro-Yasukuni, too.
Ahh..the black trucks :) I do remember them..waking me up in the morning with their feckin loudspeakers!! Of course anytime I asked a Japanese person to tell me what they were blaring about I'd always get an embarassed look and something along the lines of "its just political stuff.."
