Japan's bizarre acquisitive designs on Korea's easternmost islets of
Dokdo have helped spawn an entire political party led by a rising star
of the Far Right. The Japan Restoration Party, led by Osaka Mayor Toru
Hashimoto, on Thursday unveiled a logo consisting of a map of Japan that
includes Dokdo.
The JRP capitalizes on resurgent nostalgia for Japan's brutal colonial past amid a faltering economy and is expected to become the third-largest party after the general election.
The JPR "represents the entire country, so Takeshima (Dokdo) and Senkaku (Diaoyu in Chinese) are included in the logo," Hashimoto was quoted as saying by the Asahi Shimbun. But both islands are hard to make out in it, and the Senkaku Islands are in any case under Japanese jurisdiction already.
