The Ishin no Tō ( Japanese 維新 の 党 , “party of renewal / restoration” - see Meiji restoration for the linguistically contradicting double meaning of ishin as “renewal / innovation” and “restoration / restoration”; English Japan Innovation Party ) was a political party in Japan .

It was created in September 2014 through the merger of the Nippon Ishin no Kai from Tōru Hashimoto after the split of the Jisedai no Tō from Shintarō Ishihara with Yui no Tō from Kenji Eda, who had split off from the Minna no Tō from Yoshimi Watanabe a few months earlier . Both predecessor parties had already established community groups in both chambers of the national parliament and in prefecture and local parliaments for some time . With a total of 53 members in the national parliament - 42 in the House of Representatives and eleven in the Senate - Ishin no Tō was the third largest party and the second largest opposition party when it was founded. The goals of the party declared when it was founded include a constitutional change, a nuclear phase-out, less regulation and bureaucracy, and reforms of the prefectures and municipalities for decentralization ( dōshūsei ) and streamlining of administration ( Ōsaka-to -Plan ); however, the formulation of specific demands was postponed in some areas, such as a timetable for a nuclear phase-out or the question of collective defense .

In the House of Representatives election in December 2014 , the party held 41 seats, eleven in the direct election and 30 in the proportional representation, thus defending its status as the third largest force.

In the dispute over the positioning of the party, the party split in autumn 2015. Tōru Hashimoto's supporters, who are in rivalry with the LDP Osaka over the administrative reform plans for the prefecture, but have come closer to the national LDP under Shinzō Abe on its constitutional policy, founded the Ōsaka Ishin no Kai as a new national party (now written with Kana for Ōsaka as お お さ か 維新 の 会 and translated into English as "Initiatives from Osaka"), a number of MPs left the party and partly founded their own groups, and the Rumpf -Ishin-no-Tō around Yorihisa Matsuno with 26 remaining MPs approached the Minshutō ( Democratic Party , English Democratic Party of Japan), with which they founded a joint parliamentary group at the end of 2015 to bundle the opposition. Negotiations on a party merger were also initiated and concluded at the end of February 2016. In March 2016, both parties went into the Minshintō (Democratic Progressive Party, English first Democratic Innovation Party, then Democratic Party).

In January 2016 she formed a joint faction in the House of Lords with the Nippon o genki ni suru kai (about "Assembly that gets Japan going", English "Assembly to Energize Japan") in the course of the Minna-no-Tō dissolution in early 2015 . ). The parliamentary group was dissolved on March 4, 2016.
