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.
