Komei Shimbun (公明新聞; Clean Government Newspaper) is a Japanese language daily newspaper which is the official organ of Komeito, a conservative political party in Japan. The paper has been in circulation since 1962.
Komei Shimbun was started by the Komeito party, and the first issue appeared on 2 April 1962.[1] The same year the party also launched a monthly political magazine, Komei (Japanese: Clean Government).[2] The party partly generated its income through the sale of these publications in the late 1960s.[2] The headquarters of Komei Shimbun is in Tokyo.[3]
