A different take here: https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/cryptologic-quarterly/The_Uncertain_Summer_of_1945.pdf

According to that, elements of the Japanese government were advocating seeking peace as early as 1942, which is pretty early considering when they attacked the US at the end of 1941. I believe the traditionalist view that the US sought to avoid massive casualties in an invasion of Japan.
