My advisor in Japan was indirectly involved. Some anti-revisionist scholars (Mitani at Todai) have written articles against this project before it was completed. This is not because he thinks the textbook will offer a distorted narrative. He believes this is just the kind of blood that the nationalist sharks will be looking for in Japan and that it will cause a storm in the media in their favor ("we are losing control of our own nation's history in order to appease those crazy Koreans and Chinese"). He thinks it will spark a second round of textbook madness in Japan so opposes it on strategic, rather than historical grounds. I would be interested in helping out on such a project, though my time is limited so my contribution would have to be limited. I’m very interested in this project, it is a bit controversial.
