- Abstract
- The discussions on peace in Japan have significantly changed since the end of the
Second World War. This can be clearly illustrated by the development of the peace
studies field, which has been strongly influenced by the pacifism of Article 9 of the
Japanese Constitution and the experiences of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. This article traces the historical development of Japanese peace studies
and analyzes its characteristics. Since pacifism has been accepted as the key element
for understanding political culture in Japan since 1945, peace research, the practice
of peace education, and peace museums are also regarded as important factors that
constitute Japanese peace studies and peace culture
