Komeito is a political party in Japan, founded in 1964. It originated from the Soka Gakkai, a Buddhist organization, and focuses on promoting peace, human rights, and social welfare. The party aims to represent the interests of its members and the general public, advocating for policies that support education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. Komeito has historically formed coalitions with other political parties, most notably the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). This partnership has allowed Komeito to influence government policies while maintaining its distinct identity. The party emphasizes dialogue and consensus-building in its approach to governance.
