04.03.2026 ⇢ The Day the Unification Church Was Dissolved
⌹

Japanese media editors overwhelmingly prioritized the Tokyo High Court's decision to uphold the dissolution order against the Unification Church, with nearly all major outlets reporting the immediate start of liquidation procedures. This marked only the third such dissolution order under Japan's Religious Corporations Law. Throughout the day, coverage examined the political fallout from the decision, including analysis of the court's detailed rejection of the church's claims about compensation measures and the potential impact on relations with the ruling party. Economic coverage continued to focus on the escalating Middle East conflict, with the Nikkei stock index falling over 2,600 yen to a near one-month low amid concerns about prolonged conflict and oil price surges. Reports also detailed the sinking of an Iranian frigate by a U.S. submarine in the Indian Ocean, expanding the war zone.
