Matsushita Seikei Juku (MSJ) is the most successful political school in post-war Japan, and probably stimulated by the seeming success of MSJ, top leaders from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), proposed establishing political schools. The foundation and reasons for the MSJ's existence are traced and an analysis of the institute's student recruitment process and curriculum is presented.
