Notoriously scarce in domestic energy resources (except for geothermal), but very densely populated and highly industrialized, access to energy has always been a concern for Japan. The oil glut following World War II seemed to have solved the problem. In the words of Jitsuro Terashima (2012), for Japan, ‘securing energy supply meant building bigger oil tankers’. The 1973 oil crisis, however, brought energy security back onto the Japanese political agenda. Energy became scarcer, far more expensive, and often arriving from geopolitically sensitive areas.1
