The Greens Japan (緑の党グリーンズジャパン, Midori no Tō Greens Japan, literally "green party Greens Japan") is an established national green party in Japan.
After the electoral success of Green activist Ryuhei Kawada in the 2007 House of Councillors election, the local green political network Rainbow and Greens had reportedly decided to dissolve itself and merge with the Japan Greens in December 2007. The two precedent organizations dissolved themselves and relaunched as Greens Japan, a political organization in late 2008, under its former Japanese name, Midori no Mirai (みどりの未来 - "green future").
History
The party was founded in July 2012 and held its first general assembly in that same month.[2]
Representation
The party has a number of elected city council members/councillors in towns and cities across Japan.[3] On the 22 November 2010, Kazumi Inamura became the first popularly elected Greens Japan Mayor, in the city of Amagasaki. As well as being the youngest mayor elected in Japan’s history at the age of 38, she is also the first popularly elected female mayor of the city. She won the mayoralty with 54% of the vote.[4][5][6]
Party establishment
On 28 July 2012, the party was officially re-established under its new name by local assembly members and civic groups to run in the Upper House election.
