Nihonjinron
Nihonjinron (Iaponice 日本人論 ad verbum 'doctrinae/disceptationes Iaponiensium') est genus scripturarum quae quaestiones identitatis nationalis et culturalis Iaponicae vehementius dicunt. Litterae de his rebus sunt permultae, quae sociologiam, psychologiam, historiam, linguisticam, philosophiam, etiam adeo scientiam amplectuntur. Quamquam hae doctrinae plerumque in Iaponia ab hominibus Iaponiensibus divulgantur, insignia generis exempla ab eruditis, diurnalistis, habitantibusque alienis prolata sunt.
 
Notio nihonjinron populo grata post secundum bellum mundanum facta est, primum per libros et argumenta quae explicare, exponere, vel investigare proprietates culturae et mentalitatis Iaponiensis volebant, usitate per comparationem cum operibus Europaeis et Americanis; aliae autem civitates Asianae magis atque magis in operibus recentioribus disceptantur. Tales commentarii proponunt communem animum unici Iaponiae status, et nomen nihonjinron ad investigandam hunc animum adhiberi potest. 
 
Intra significationem nihonjinron vocabuli generici, varia exstant subgenera, diserta propositione vel re digesta, exempli gratia :
 shinfūdoron (新風土論), novae rationes climatis
 nihonbunkaron (日本文化論), rationes culturae Iaponiensis
 nihonshakairon (日本社会論), rationes societatis Iaponiensis
 nihonron (日本論), rationes Iaponiae
 nihonkeizairon (日本経済論), rationes oeconomia Iaponiensis
