Utsukushii Nippon no Kenpō o Tsukuru Kokumin no Kai

Utsukushii Nippon no Kenpō o Tsukuru Kokumin no Kai (美しい日本の憲法をつくる国民の会) was founded in 2014 to mobilize public opinion in favor of constitutional revision; here is a statement from the group’s establishment. 

This group has worked closely with Nippon Kaigi/the Japan Conference (日本会議). As of June 2021, Tōru Miyoshi, an emeritus chairperson of Nippon Kaigi, is one of three co-directors of this group; the other two are a journalist, Yoshiko Sakurai, and an emeritus professor of Kyōrin University (杏林大学), Tadae Takubo.

This group has collected signatures to create a network for constitutional revision throughout Japan. They argue for amending several parts of the constitution. For instance, they have pushed for Article 9 to certify the status of the Self-Defense Forces and for the constitution to protect “family” as the basis of the nation and society.

In July 2022, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who had been actively involved in the activities of the organization, passed away following a shooting incident. The following year, in July 2023, the organization held a gathering titled "An Assembly to Carry On the Aspirations of Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe" (related article posted on the website). Additionally, in January 2024, the passing of co-representative Tadae Takubo followed (related article posted on the website).
