there really should have been a paragraph break in my comment. I didn't mean to imply that Japan was encouraging those nationalistic attitudes in their textbooks, just that they don't frame their involvement in WWII as a travesty in the same way that Europe and the US do to the extent of banning military/nationalist imagery or references. AFAIK it's glossed over or significantly recontextualized. it's definitely not taboo.

I know you live in Japan, so if I'm totally out of date with this stuff, please set me straight. no offense meant.

Well, you said "former Axis countries have different opinions on former Axis countries," implying that the ex-Axis is all secretly "yeah Nazis ruled" or something, whereas Germany is more intense than anyone about cracking down on that stuff.

You're right that it's glossed over here, as far as I'm aware. I don't sit in on the history classes or anything but my impression of how we teach it is basically: "Some bad things happened! THEN THE BOMB." Which isn't the same as teaching them that Japanese nationalism/fascism/Nazism was a good thing. They're taught that Violence is Bad and Crazy Violent Nationalism is Bad... they just don't tend to understand what their country did to earn that lesson.
