An extensive amount of government-related documents, tallying up to an unprecedented 25,000 pages, have been disclosed for the fourth time concerning the Moritomo scandal in Japan. This ongoing case of governmental investigation involves potential corruption and malfeasance revolving around a heavily discounted sale of public land to Moritomo Gakuen, a private school. The release of such a vast number of files underlines the scenario's seriousness and the Japanese government's commitment to transparency.

Public transparency and governmental integrity are of grave concern in Japan. The multiple revealings of the Moritomo documents highlight these values. In Japanese society, incidents that hint at corruption, such as the Moritomo Gakuen land deal, prompt substantial public backlash and demand for accountability.

Similar to the consequences of political scandals in the US or EU, any major allegations or proof of illicit behavior typically lead to investigations, resignations, or shift in public opinion. However, the exhaustive documentation release is one way Japan's handling of such matters may differ from Western responses, underscoring a thorough and systematic response to public interest.
