Shōwa Restoration
Appearance
The Shōwa Restoration (昭和維新, Shōwa Ishin) was promoted by Japanese author
Cherry Blossom Society envisioned such a restoration.[2]
The
February 26 Incident was an attempt to bring it about, failing heavily because they were unable to secure the support of the Emperor.[3] The chief conspirators surrendered in the hope to make their trial advance the cause, a hope which was foiled by the trials being conducted secretly.[4]
Although all such attempts failed, it was a first step on the rise of Japanese militarism.
