Most Japanese do not even know their own history. They do not know that military planners projected 1-2 million allied casualties and 5 million Japanese civilian casualties, and opted for the Atomic bombs as the lesser of two evils.
(War is Hell, and I'm a Pacifist - that does not change the facts.)
Cetaceans are not cows and pigs (I'm also vegan - eat red meat and you die of heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes - the price you pay for eating your mammal relatives).
Whales and dolphin are highly intelligent. Cetaceans are HUMANS OF THE SEA. Killing one is murder, organized murder is GENOCIDE.
I've written to most major Japanese Brand Name Corporations asking them to denounce whaling so I that can buy their products. Not one Corporation has even had the courtesy to reply.
Vote with your wallet.
Remember these facts the next time you consider buying "Japanese"
