The Kokumin Jiyutō (Japanese: 国民自由党, lit. National Liberal Party) was an ultra-nationalist political party in Japan.

History

Following a failed attempt to unite the Liberal Party and Rikken Kaishintō, the National Liberal Party was established in October 1890 by five Kyushu-based members of the House of Representatives who had been elected in July.[1] Most of the representatives had previously been members of the Daidō Club. The new party was dissolved the following year.[1]
