LAND OF THE RISING SUN GLORY TO THE EMPEROR BOYS

This week, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partners won a two-thirds majority in the legislature’s upper house, to go along with their two-thirds majority in the lower house. A two-thirds majority is required in each house to begin the process of amending Japan’s constitution

the LDP has pointed out that “several of the current constitutional provisions are based on the Western European theory of natural human rights; such provisions therefore [need] to be changed

The LDP’s draft for an amended constitution would eliminate the prohibition on imbuing religious organizations with “political authority,” clearing the way for the return of state Shintoism and emperor worship

the Emperor is required, under the new constitution, to seek “advice” from the cabinet — but not, as he is currently required, to seek “advice and approval.”

ELI5?

It's very hard for japan to alter the constitution that the US handed down to them post WW2.

It seems they have met the requirements to do so.

They won't bother with censoring since it will all be chinese mainlanders anyway.

and Abe has dreams of constitutional revision but his 2/3rds supermajority coalition includes factions that do not share his vision of a more militarized Japan. to wit the largest allied party is a pacifist Buddhist party and so it seems unlikely Shintoism will be reinstated as the state religion. but we shall see what the man can do, i expect the National Diet will be consumed by constitutional debate over the coming year.

When has porn and religion ever played nice with one another? D:

Well, Japan's yūkaku districts (and ukiyo-e depections thereof) up until WW2 says... at least from the 17th century to then.
