The Japan War-Bereaved Families Association (日本遺族会, nippon izokukai) is an association in Japan that was set up to represent the interests of relatives of deceased war veterans in the Second World War. Its headquarters are in Kudanminami, Tokyo. The group supports visits to Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo to pay respects to Japan's war dead. The Japanese War-Bereaved Families Association has extremely close ties with Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party. The Japanese War-Bereaved Families Association was originally called the Japan Bereaved Family-Welfare Federation and founded in 1947. The organization gained traction through its grassroots efforts gathering the remains of Japanese soldiers throughout Japan throughout the 1970s. As the JWBFA organized and carried out these efforts, it gained the support of the Japanese public, which in turn gave it greater influence. It used this influence on the political party in power, the Liberal Democratic Party, to further their goal of remembering those who lost their lives in service to Japan during the Second World War.
