The Constitution "focuses on universalism, peace, democracy, basic human rights, international cooperation. In that sense, it is a fine Constitution," said Okiharu Yasuoka, head of an LDP panel on constitutional reform.
"But it also worked to exclude everything Japanese," Yasuoka said, adding a revised constitution should incorporate Japanese tradition and cultural values such as "wa," or harmony.
Proponents of such revisions argue they would help halt such social ills as rising crime and a breakdown in school discipline.
