Elections for the Japanese House of Councillors were held in Japan in 1998.

Note that because of the dissolution of the Socialist Party in 1996 (→Social Democratic Party, New Socialist Party, Democratic Party), the Democratic Socialist Party and the Kōmeitō in 1994, the creation and subsequent dissolution of the New Frontier Party, the (re-)establishment of the two "New" Kōmeitō predecessors and several other party mergers, creations and dissolutions in the 1990s, many of the incumbent Councilors in 1998 belonged to a different party than the ones they were elected for in 1992.

Famous quotes containing the words japanese and/or house:

    “The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
    —Paul Theroux (b. 1941)

    “They had never had one in the house before.
    The strangeness of it all. Like unleashing
    A lion, really. Poised
    To pounce. A puma. A panther. A black
    Bear.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
