Katsutoshi Takami, a Senior Specialist at the National Diet Library, is the Editor in Charge of this project.
The outline and explanation of documents were produced by researchers at the National Diet Library along with the Constitution Research Office of the Research and Legislative Reference Bureau and the Modern Japanese Political Documents Division of the Reference and Special Collections Department.
We would like to express our appreciation and recognition to the many people who contributed documents and cooperated in the creation of this exhibit.
Some of the documents presented here are digital images of hand written or printed documents and may include areas that are difficult to read. We apologize for this.
Documents for which the "Repository" or "Repository (reproduction)" is listed as the "National Diet Library" are kept in the Tokyo Main Building, mainly in the Modern Japanese Political History Materials Room (Kensei Shiryoshitsu).
