At the present time strengthening of conservative tendencies in politics, eco-nomics, social and spiritual life is typical for most developed countries. It is called “turn to conservatism”. Japan, as one of key world powers, is no ex-ception. Therefore, the study of this phenomenon on the example of Japan is not only important, but necessary. Monograph written by the collective of leading Russian Japanologists contains a complex analysis of “turn to con-servatism” in modern Japan in the context of regional and world processes. The authors tried to show that the essence of conservatism is increasingly determined not only by “memories of the past”, but also by the comprehen-sion of the internal development of different spheres of life, in particular, of Japanese society. This publication is prepared for the 200th anniversary of the Institute of Oriental Studies, RAS.
