Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform



is a group founded in 1997 to promote a revised view of Japanese history. The group was responsible for authoring a history textbook published from Fusōsha (扶桑社), which was heavily criticised by China and South Korea for not including full accounts of or downplaying wartime activities of Imperial Japan during World War II, such as reference to the Nanjing Massacre (南京大虐殺) as "Nanjing Incident" (南京事件) and forgoing use of the term "comfort women" (慰安婦).
