Seikijuku

Seikijuku ( _ja. 正氣塾, literally "Sane Thinkers School") was a right-wing, Japanese imperialist group based in Nagasaki Prefecture, founded in 1981. The group was reesponsible for a number of violent incidents, including the 1991 near-fatal shooting of the mayor of Nagasaki who stated that Emperor Hirohito was responsible for the war.
