On March 11 2011 an earthquake in Japan generated huge tremors and a series of tsunamis causing unprecedented nuclear crisis in this country. The death toll (with missing people) reached almost 20,000 and 340,000 people had to evacuate. The Fukushima accident showed to the Japanese people that the government was not prepared properly enough for such a crisis as it should have been especially having had learnt the lessons from Kobe earthquake of 1995. Since 2011 there have been in Japan growing manifestations of people’s opinions on the matter and who even wish for the better future for their offspring with no atom. The Japanese society has been changing into a new civil society and is less alike to that one presented by the first Orientalists and the subsequent ones who disseminated knowledge based rather on stereotypes. The article aims to show the phenomenon of Japanese civil society with the new tendencies in voluntarism and demonstrations after 1995 along with the reasons for them and reactions of the state to the crises arose in 1995 and 2011. The work argues (state for the end of March 2017) that there is a new quality in the movement and also proves that even though Japan has been the only country in the world that has suffered hugely from the atom not once, the civil society was not strong enough to control the nuclear industry and the government and what is more, the ballots in 2012 and 2016 were surprisingly filled in with names of politicians who represent parties supporting development of nuclear energy stance.
