The Ceremony to Commemorate the Anniversary of Japan's Restoration of Sovereignty

Die Verfassung Japans wurde am 3. November 1946 vom ersten nach dem Krieg gewählten Unterhaus, dem Herrenhaus und vom Tennō verabschiedet. Sie trat am 3. Mai 1947 in Kraft. Somit wird jedes Jahr der 3. Mai als Kemp Kinnenbi = Verfassungstag gefeiert.

Introduction by Matthew Penney

On April 28, a “Ceremony to Commemorate the Anniversary of Japan's Restoration of Sovereignty and Return to the International Community” was held in Tokyo. As the Abe government makes plans to revise the 1947 constitution, this celebration of the anniversary of the end of the American-led occupation of Japan in 1952 took on a special significance. This brainchild of Abe and other far right conservatives is more than just an attempt at a Japanese “Independence Day”. It casts the Constitution as a foreign imposition and frames postwar reforms as an affront to Japan’s sovereignty and traditions.
