New Japan

Aside from the ugly books in this article themselves, there are these quotes:
"These books finally depict history from a Japanese perspective, and there is nothing wrong with that," says Atsushi Iwata, 22, student at Tokyo's prestigious Waseda University who attends a weekly seminar by a co-author of "Introduction to China."

"It's the right of any nation to interpret history as it feels it should," he said.
Scary.
