The Japan Liberal Party (日本自由党, Nihon Jiyūtō) was a political party in Japan.
History
The Japan Liberal Party was founded on November 9, 1945, mainly by former members of Seiyukai Party, with Ichirō Hatoyama being its first leader. From 1946-1954 the next party leader Shigeru Yoshida served as Prime Minister.
In 1948 the Japan Liberal Party merged with Kijūrō Shidehara's Dōshi Club (民主クラブ), and a faction of the Democratic Party led by Saitō Takao, to form the Democratic Liberal Party (民主自由党, Minshu Jiyūtō).
