This comprehensive book delves into the significant protests that erupted in Japan in 1960, opposing the renewal of the US-Japan Security Treaty. It assesses the profound and lasting impact of these protests, which reached a climax with hundreds of thousands of protestors encircling Japan's National Diet building on a daily basis. These protests extended to various cities and towns across Japan, showcasing the widespread opposition to the treaty renewal. The book explores the outcomes of these protests, including the cancellation of President Eisenhower's state visit and the removal of Prime Minister Kishis from office. Despite the apparent failure to prevent the renewal of the Security Treaty and the retention of the Liberal Democratic Party in power, the protests had a profound and lasting effect on Japan. They exposed latent societal and political tensions, forcing the ruling establishment to reassess its policies and priorities. The protests compelled the ruling elite to embrace non-militarization and to prioritize the needs and voices of the people. The events are analyzed in the context of social movement dynamics, drawing comparisons to the Western European protests of 1968. This book provides a valuable insight into the historical significance of these protests and their enduring impact on Japanese society and politics.
