Abstract
Japan seeks to play the role of a peace‐maker in Aceh. This includes organising international conferences in Tokyo to facilitate peace and offering substantial aid to the combatants to cease hostilities. Japan and the Swiss‐based Henri Dunant Centre (HDC) have a division of labour in Aceh. But Tokyo can offer what the HDC cannot: a multi‐million dollar aid package and bringing together many governments and international organisations to support peace in Aceh. Tokyo will have to play a patient game by offering aid to the combatants and wait until they, utterly exhausted by the civil war, embrace peace.
