Japanese liberalism(自由主義or リベラリズム) formed in the nineteenth century as a reaction against traditional society. In the twentieth century 'liberal' (自由) gradually became a synonym for conservative,and today the main conservative party in the country is named Liberal Democratic Party.

The liberal character of the Liberal League is disputed,as it is also considered to be conservative by some.
