Yamato Nationalism
or ''minzoku'' nationalism means nationalism that emerges from Japan's dominant Yamato people or Ethnic groups of Japan, ethnic minorities. In present-day Japan statistics only counts their population in terms of nationality, rather than ethnicity, thus the number of ethnic Yamato and their actual population numbers are ambiguous. Dominant ethnic-centered nationalism is related to ''minzoku'' (民族), the Japanese word that translates to "people", "ethnic group", and "nation". ''Minzoku'' does not originally mean "race (human classification), race" in the general sense, and ''jinshu'' (人種) means "race", but some Japanese nationalists also use ''minzoku'' in a closer sense to "race"; Taro Aso has called Japan a "one race" or "one ''minzoku''". Prominent Japanese politicians have often kindled controversies by invoking the images of Japanese racial superiority. ''Minzoku-ha'' ''Minzoku-ha'' (民族派, lit.

Ethnic Nationalism
Ethnic nationalism, also known as ethnonationalism, is a form of nationalism wherein the nation and nationality are defined in terms of ethnicity, with emphasis on an ethnocentric (and in some cases an ethnostate/ethnocratic) approach to various political issues related to national affirmation of a particular ethnic group. The central tenet of ethnic nationalists is that "nations are defined by a shared heritage, which usually includes a common language, a common faith, and a common ethnic ancestry". Those of other ethnicities may be classified as second-class citizens. Scholars of diaspora studies broaden the concept of "nation" to diasporic communities. The terms "ethnonation" and "ethnonationalism" are sometimes used to describe a conceptual collective of dispersed ethnics. Defining an ethnos widely can lead to ethnic nationalism becoming a form of pan-nationalism or macronationalism, as in cases such as pan-Germanism or pan-Slavism. In scholarly literature, ethnic ...
