This paper focused on former prime minister, Ishibashi Tanzan's efforts towards normalisation of diplomatic relations between Japan and China that took place before the Japan-China joint statement of 1972, confirming and examining his achievements. We considered Ishibashi's involvement from political, economic and ideological aspects: 1) He advocated "the inseparability of politics and economics" that meant it was the improvement of economic relations that facilitated the development of political relations, and set out his "theory of political economic inseparability" in contrast to the "improvements in political relations facilitating economic relations" of the Chinese side. 2) He declared that he would take personal responsibility if negotiations with China failed. 3) He aimed for a "national movement" towards "normalization of diplomatic relations with China" that transcended polit-ical parties. 4) He held politician-led talks. Thus, Ishibashi Tanzan made efforts to normalise diplomatic relations with China, and the question and answer session with participants provided important viewpoints from which to explore Ishibashi's involvement. Ishibashi's efforts regarding Japan-China relations were viewed as a part of East Asian and international relations. It was also felt that his efforts were worthy of attention in considering the mutually complementary relationship of Japan and China.
