Seems on-topic:

Dueling protests in Tokyo over dolphin and whale hunts

Subtitle: Japan isolates self, burns good will with its neighbors.

This second is true owing to how badly Japanese “nationalists” are seen by other nations, even nations as far away as the UK. For it was under the banner of that same chauvinistic nationalism that Japan conquered, tortured, and murdered between 1931 and 1945. And though such times are long past, the nations that suffered from Japan’s misdeeds do not forget those deeds. The biggest thing Japanese nationalists achieve is to remind other nations of how Japan wronged them and that Japan isn’t really sorry for having done so.
