On November 29(superscript th), 2002, Saburo Ienaga, the famous Japanese historian, died in Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 89. Saburo Ienaga was familiarized with his textbook screening lawsuits against his government's censorship. This event was called ”Ienaga Textbook Screening Lawsuits” or ”Ienaga Textbook Screening Appeals.” In 1965 Professor Saburo Ienaga of Tokyo University of Education filed a civil suit at the Tokyo District Court seeking compensation for damages from the government for not approving his high-school history textbook in the Ministry's screening process (First Lawsuit). Later, in 1967 Professor Ienaga filed another administrative suit seeking retraction of the negative decision given to his textbook (Second Lawsuit). In 1984 Professor Ienaga filed a civil suit again, seeking compensation for the rejection of some portions of his textbooks from the ministry's screening in 1980 and 1983 (Third Lawsuit). It has been taken and lasted for 32 years, led 10 trial battles against the judicial proceedings till the final decision was made by the Supreme Court at the end of August 1997.
In the whole judicial proceedings, it was always aimed on if the government held the right of children education and if the textbook screening policy was constitutional without being against the free speech of literature based on Regulation 21st of Japan Constitution. Most of the researches were based on either the Education, the Constitution, or the objectives also only focused on the processing of lawsuits. Therefore, I would like to try different studies based on the Japanese history debates after the War. My paper is in three parts:
1. The social practice of processing Ienaga's spirits: connecting the historicity with the proceedings of Ienaga.
2. Tracking the 2 controversial theories of Japanese historicity after the War.
3. The various reactions in the whole country caused by high pressures and circulation around the entire nation after the internationalization of Ienaga's Lawsuits and the global focus on it's Textbook Screen Process.
