🇯🇵How does Japan mark Conscripted, registered, or merely obliged on paper?

Everyday topic

Japan has no conscription, and the reason lies less in policy than in the text of the constitution itself. Article 9 says the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes, and then: “In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.” Where the other six markets write down who serves and for how long, Japan's starting point is what shall not be maintained at all. Defence in practice is carried by the Self-Defense Forces under their own statute, and its members are recruited by application — the state does not call the individual; the individual applies. No article of the constitution imposes a duty of military service on citizens, which sets Japan apart from China, Indonesia and India as well.
