Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) returned to power in a landslide election win over the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) earlier this week, taking a two-thirds majority in the lower house of the Diet with its coalition partner, New Komeito.
The national elections were the first since the March 2011 earthquake triggered the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, which led to the evacuation of 100,000 people and calls for an end to nuclear power in the earthquake-prone country.
