I'll simply point out that your own documentation does not support your position very well.
Japan did send out feelers...but feelers are not a surrender. When Potsdam was declared, (actually pretty favorable, considering the Atlantic accord was offered), the Japanese did not jump on it, but rejected it. That your source says it was a 'misunderstanding' is dubious in my mind and not relevent either way: if the Japanese wanted to accept it, they could have made it VERY clear.
Also, your documentation clearly states that the Japanese military wanted to keep on fighting and that they were prepared to carry out a coup in order to do so.
