“…As Greenfeld (1992) puts it, nationalism is first and foremost a way of creating identities, and only secondarily a political movement. The concept itself is built on the apprehension of the nation which, in its modern sense, came to be understood in early sixteenth-century England (Doak, 2007). Since then, nationalism has gained various forms depending on the context.…”

“…Some political thinkers, such as Bunzo Hashikawa, linked this notion of blind nationalism with the ethnic type of nationalism (Doak, 2007). In contrast to blind nationalism, constructive patriotism is defined as a feeling of love for the country and attachment to its democratic values, but with the ability to see the country's drawbacks (Davidov, 2009;Schatz et al, 1999).…”

Japan is well-known for its strict immigration and refugee policies. This study examines how Japanese public opinion towards both immigrants and refugees developed in the past, and whether the current trends in public approach towards these phenomena signalise any change in policies. Several studies have already explained the general attitudes of Japanese people towards immigrants and foreigners, while the Japanese attitude towards refugees remains genuinely understudied. In this chapter, public attitudes towards selected groups of nationals, as well as ethnic and religious minorities—and opinions on statements related to immigration and refugee issues—were all analysed. The data used in this chapter have been collected from the Sinophone Borderlands Indo-Pacific Survey, which was co-conducted in 2022 by one of the authors and collected 1219 nationally representative responses. Focusing on the role of the level of nationalist sentiments and political identity, this chapter reveals that nationalism and conservatism have a small impact on how Japanese society perceives refugees and immigrants. In general, the study shows that Japanese society is not welcoming towards foreigners, however, it does demonstrate a high level of awareness regarding the difficulties that Rohingya refugees face and shows support for their resettlement.

The issue of identity among of the people of Japan is very complex. On the one hand, there is the prevalent and promoted myth of their homogeneous origin and the Japanese culture, while on the other – along with the development of social and cultural sciences – there is a growing awareness of the country’s ethno-cultural diversity. The Japanese are now increasingly facing the question of ethnic stereotypes and the issue of cultural competences of people living in the Japanese Archipelago. This article presents an analysis of identity-building among of the Japanese and two minority groups: ethnic Koreans (zainichi) and children born to mixed couples (hāfu).
