What japanese leaders do. Its a factor of unpredictability and volatility when you ad the popular passions that may grow up around particular memories and attitudes, played to by politicians, sometimes unwisely. Its another important factor of volatility. And you have these kinds of isss in the region, the same is true for korea. Issues left over from that occupation.
