Eddy Dufourmont's chapter in The Power of Memory in Modern Japan, edited by Sven Saaler and Wolfgang Schwentker and published by Global Oriental in 2008, examines the political use of national memory in the campaign to restore 11 February as National Day, tracing Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's government and the advocacy that culminated in the 1966 law, including the role of conservative organizers such as Yasuoka Masahiro alongside the Association of Shinto Shrines' own grassroots coalition.
