List of Japanese nationalist movements and parties

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rise of the various himitsu kessha (secret societies) and Japan's desires for an Asian empire in the 19th and centuries can be traced back to a number of concepts that developed in its ancient past. This list comprises some of the groups involved (duplications under different names are quite likely). Some of these societies had links with Triads and yakuza groups, and remain active.
