Japan s Backroom Politics is the translation of a classic study of
the rough and tumble of Japanese politics and conservative party
factions in the first two decades of postwar Japan. The original
book, published in 1967, was written by the pre-eminent political
writer at the time, Watanabe Tsuneo, who later became the
controversial owner of the Yomiuri Shimbun. The book was written
when a generational change was occurring in Japanese politics after
several of the early party leaders had passed away, including his
political mentor, Ono Bamboku. Comprising ten chapters, including a
comprehensive preface on the author, Japan s Backroom Politics
discusses in in great detail the history of and personalities
within the near-dozen factions and sub-factions that existed at the
time. He introduces the resiliency of factions within the ruling
Liberal Democratic Party, noting the role of money, influence,
party presidency, and the chance at the premiership, among other
factors, which subsequent commentators and scholars have elaborated
on. Moreover, using extensive data and a penetrating analysis,
Watanabe provides a historical as well as an international
comparison of Japanese factions, making predictions about the
future of Japanese politics.
