Former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, who was in power from November 1982 to November 1987, died on Nov. 29 at 101. Nakasone, who transitioned from a bureaucrat to politician after the end of World War II, was the last surviving witness to Japan's postwar conservative politics.  

When he became prime minister, Japan was the world's second largest economic power and had hit a postwar peak. Nevertheless, Nakasone launched his administration under the slogan, "comprehensive evaluation of postwar politics."

On the domestic front, he aimed for administrative, tax, and educational reforms, and achieved outstanding results in the first of these categories.

Especially notable was the reform of the state-owned Japanese National Railways (JNR), splitting the debt-ridden corporation into six regional passenger firms and a nationwide freight company. At the time, JNR was saddled with over 37 trillion yen (about $253.1 billion at contemporary exchange rates) in accumulated debts, placing an enormous financial burden on the state.

A bureaucrat-led system had bloated the administrative branch over the three-plus decades after the end of the war. Reform was the need of the day.

Neoliberalism, in which private-sector dynamism is used to spur growth, held sway in the United States and Britain. The Nakasone administration also prioritized the use of private-sector dynamism -- a policy continued by the cabinets of Junichiro Koizumi and Shinzo Abe. However, critics point out that the trend also opened the way for the speculation-driven, asset-inflating "bubble economy" of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Nakasone, who was elected to his first term as a member of the House of Representatives in 1947, was a staunch critic of former Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida because he thought the Yoshida Cabinet's policies were excessively dependent on the United States.

Nakasone described himself as a "reformist conservative" as compared with Yoshida, who was regarded as the mainstream among conservatives. Nakasone was not satisfied with Japan as just a major economic power. As a reformist conservative, he sought to expand the country's international role, including into security.

His Cabinet treated Japan's supply of weapons technology to the United States as an exception to the Three Principles of Weapons Exports, and compared the Japanese archipelago to an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" to counter the now defunct Soviet Union, stirring controversy both in Japan and overseas. These examples also reflect his efforts to expand Japan's international role. Nakasone had criticized Japan's reliance on the United States, but also built a close "Ron-Yasu" relationship with then U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

In the meantime, Nakasone paid an official visit to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, where Class A war criminals are enshrined along with Japan's war dead, in his capacity as prime minister for the first time in 1985. However, he abandoned doing so later to show consideration to China and other countries that had reacted sharply.

Since he was young, he had called for revisions to the Constitution to, as he saw it, restore Japan's complete independence from postwar occupation by the Allied Forces. The stance won him the nickname "young officer" -- a reference to radical nationalist army officers active in the prewar years. However, he turned out to be flexible on the Constitution while he was in power, saying that it was not the right time for an amendment push.

Nakasone was ridiculed as a "weathercock" because he often changed his stance in response to shifts in the political situation. However, it is certain that he established a new direction for Japan's postwar politics.
