In the 1950s, when countries were discussing wartime reparations to be paid by Axis powers, it was decided that Japan was not economically in a position to pay wartime reparations for war crimes committed by the Japanese Army during WWII.
Examples, The Rape of Nanking, the treatment of Allied POWs in South East Asia, and so on.
During the 1950s, Japan was definitely unable to offer reparations, Well, there is no contesting that Japan is now in a position to do so. Bear in mind that this question is not aimed at the current Japanese Government, but that Japan as a country should face up to its past. The Germans did so, and with no adverse effects.
