You'll need proof about Japanese militarism. Many in Japan disagree with the country's rearmament [1]. Even Chinese people find Japanese people less nationalistic than they are in recent days [2]. Though for some reason they still think Japan is a warlike/violent country.

- alphonsegaston 9y agoYes, I should have made more clear that I meant the Japanese government, not its people. But since Japan has not been a functional democracy since at least the 70s, the point still stands. In the post-war period, the US government has been actively subverting the Japanese left by providing political intel and financing to Japanese conservatives, who are the successors to imperial-era fascist regime. Abe's grandfather was even a war criminal administrator of the Japanese puppet state in Manchuria. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2006/07/20/national/u-s-admits-cia-gave-ldp-money-in-1950s-1960s/ http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2006/07/20/national/u-s-adm...
