Features: This book analyzes the ancient and modern origins of Japanese fascist thought, examining its fundamental content and main characteristics. It points out that from ancient creation myths and the philosophy of "Japanese spirit" to modern Japanese nationalism and imperialist ideology, and then to Japanese fascist thought during World War II and the post-war resurgence of Japanese ideological trends, there exists a close logical connection, demonstrating ideological continuity and consistency. The book argues that contemporary Japan still harbors fertile ground for the growth of fascism. Therefore, preventing the resurgence of Japanese fascism and eradicating the ideological soil that sustains it remain an enduring intellectual task and historical responsibility for people around the world, including the Japanese people themselves, to uphold world peace and prosperity. The publication of this book holds significant historical and practical importance in awakening the world to learn from history and face the future.
