Nihonjinron (日本人論: treatises on Japaneseness) is a genre of ethnocentric nationalist literary work that focuses on issues of Japanese national and cultural identity.[1][2] Nihonjinron posits concepts such as Japanese being a "unique isolate, having no known affinities with any other race", and has been described as racist.[3][4]
Nihonjinron literature flourished during a publishing boom popular after World War II, with books and articles aiming to analyze, explain, or explore Japanese culture and cultural mindset.[1][5]
