The Nippon Sōshintō ( Japanese. 日本 創新 党 , dt. About " Reestablishing Party Japan"; English The Spirit of Japan Party ) was a political party in Japan . She was named in April 2010 by several local and prefecture politicians as the successor to Yoi Kuni tsukurō! Nippon Shimin Kaigi ( よ い 国 つ く ろ う! 日本 志 民 会議 , Eng. "Let's create a good country! Japanese Citizens' Conference", where citizens are written with the Kanji 志 for "will, readiness"). It had no members in the national parliament. The party leader was Hiroshi Yamada , a former member of the House of Commons and mayor of Suginami District . Other members were Hiroshi Nakada , formerly mayor of Yokohama City , Hiroshi Saitō , formerly Governor of Yamagata Prefecture , and Toshiaki Okano, formerly Mayor of Chōshi City .
The party unsuccessfully put up candidates for the upper house election in July 2010 , and in the unified regional elections in 2011 it won a few seats in local parliaments .
The party called for fiscal reforms and criticized costly measures such as the introduction of child benefit or large infrastructure projects as "waste", wanted to abolish the prefectures in favor of a system of larger regions / states ( Dōshūsei ) and to revise the Japanese constitution . She also called for an "independent" foreign and defense policy. In order to stabilize the Japanese budget, she called for a downsizing of the civil service and an increase in VAT.
In September 2012, the party decided to dissolve at a special party conference to join the Nippon Ishin no Kai .
