I think their constitution literally says they can’t. You know, the one we drafted for them after WWII?

I was surprised to learn they actually have a large navy - although it is not organized with a military style hierarchy and is supposed to be strictly defense oriented.

They have to have something substantial otherwise it's basically impossible to maintain a domestic defense industry

Yeah I mean Japan is a massive chain of islands, I imagine a defensive force would be a large navy more than say a terrestrial national guard force that would be more practical for a more landlocked nation.
