This is a multi-generational political history of the Hatoyamas, a
family that has participated at the highest levels of Japan's
parliamentary government from its inception in the late 1800s. The
Hatoyama family is one of the most prominent political families in
modern Japanese government. It has produced six members of the
Diet, Japan's parliament, many of whom have served as cabinet
members and party leaders. Due to the family's political legacy,
they have often been likened to the Kennedy family in American
politics (though they have been spared the tragedy and scandal
visited upon the Kennedys). Despite the significance of the
Hatoyamas to modern Japanese politics, this is the first
comprehensive study available in English. In tracing the rising
political fortunes of this family, it is also possible to study the
role of hereditary politicians in Japan, the growth and evolution
of Japanese political parties, and, perhaps most importantly, the
way political leadership functions in Japan, a society known more
for consensus-building than strong leaders.
