Seventy years after the end of World War Two, the voices of revisionism in Japan are growing stronger and moving into the mainstream, particularly on the issue of comfort women, who were women forced to be sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during the war. One of the most eloquent voices of revisionism is Toshio Tamogami. Mr Tamogami is well-educated, knowledgeable and, when I meet him, exquisitely polite.
The former chief of staff of Japan's air force believes in a version of Japanese history that is deeply at odds with much of the rest of the world. But it is increasingly popular among young Japanese, tired of being told they must keep apologising to China and Korea.
Last year Mr Tamogami ran for governor of Tokyo. He came fourth, with , votes. Most strikingly, among young voters aged 20 to 30 he got nearly a quarter of the votes cast. We should take back our true history that we can be proud of.
Japanese soldiers fought valiantly to expel the hated white imperialists who had subjugated Asian peoples for years. It is a proud history, where Japan, alone in Asia, was capable of taking on and defeating the European oppressors. It is also a version of history that has no room for the Japanese committing atrocities against fellow Asians. I ask him about the invasion of China in and the massacre of civilians in the capital Nanjing.
Surely that was naked aggression? Mr Tamogami believes that the issue of Korean comfort women is a fabrication by the South Korean government. It is when I ask him about the issue of Korean comfort women, that Mr Tamogami's denials are most indignant. He declares it "another fabrication", saying: And those Korean men were just watching their women taken away by force?
