anti-Japanese
Hostile toward Japan
Anti-Japanese describes hostility, prejudice, or opposition directed at Japanese people, culture, or the nation of Japan.
The term appears in historical contexts—particularly regarding discrimination against Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century and World War II internment policies—and in contemporary discussions of lingering resentment in countries occupied by Japan during the war: anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea, anti-Japanese immigration laws.
