うまやど HIRAOKA Norito

 

いまさら何をやっても遅いが、せめて・・・

天皇陛下への謝罪、竹島返還と不法占拠への賠償、在日朝鮮・韓国人の韓国送還、竹島襲撃時の損害賠償、度重なる対日侮蔑への謝罪と責任者の処罰、英霊冒涜への謝罪と再発防止、円借款の即時全面返済。

最低これだけやるなら考えてもよい。

Tweets as follows:

Too late now but if you meet at least the following condtions:

1.  Deep apology to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan;

2.  Return of Takeshima Island with compensation for the illegal occupation;

3.  Accpeting Koreans (citizens of the Republic of Korea and of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea who illegally sneaked into Japan) to be repatriated by Japan;

4.  Compensation for the damages incurred when the Republic of Korea invaded Takeshima;

5.  Necessary punishment for those involved in repeated defamation of Japan and her people and apologies to Japan and her people;

6.  Apologies to Japan and her people for having insulted the brave souls of the fallen soldiers enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, ensuring that the Republic of Korea will never let anyone repeat insulting them;

7.  Immediate reimbursement of Yen loans.

The above tweet has been selected as it well represents the general feelings Japanese people share towards the Republic of Korea.

The Republic of Korea must face history and must teach its people un-erasable history that Japan-Korea annexation in 1910 was properly executed with full recognition by the international community as it was done in accordance with international law.

Besides, no battles were fought between Japan and Korea in relation to the annexation except the fact that the 1st Prime Minister of Japan Ito was assassinated by a Korean terrorist named An Jung-geun, thereby realizing Japan-Korea annexation. Japan-Korea annexation of 1910 wouldn't have happened unless Prime Minister Ito regarded as a major obstacle to the annexation was assassinated.

The assassinated Prime Minister Ito, one of those well acquainted with the history of Korea and its culture had always opposed the annexation and also had insisted that Korea would no doubt be well controlled by Koreans themselves in view of its past when they once exhibited their talent.

Hirobumi Ito, four time Prime Minister of Japan (the 1st, 5th, 7th and 10th)

An Jung-geun, Korean terrorist who assassinated Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito in 1909.

Misconceptions About The Comfort Women

US brutal act during US occupation of Japan No. 4

 Updated at 19:05 on June 20, 2013.

The above photo shows part of the area used as the US storage depot in Kokura during the Korean war.

US brutal act during occupation of Japan No. 4 has been written to portray US as a criminal state that committed serious crimes against humanity twice in one single incident involving the black GIs stationed in Japan during 7 year occupation of Japan, so reminding US government that US past is not so glorious as US has long preached to its people, particularly to its kids at schools.

At midnight on the 11th of July, 1950, 200 to 250 black GIs armed to the teeth deserted US storage depot (which was the stronghold defended by the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Great Imperial Japanese Army during the Greater East Asia War, often called either the WWII or the Pacific War in the West) situated approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from Japan National Railway Kokura station. Those black soldiers were transferred here from Gifu Prefecture a day before with an order to be soon deployed on the frontlines of the Korean peninsula where the North Korean forces crossed 38 degree parallel into South Korea almost a month earlier. They were so terrified at the imminent deployment on the frontlines of the Korean peninsula and at the same time deeply felt that they had to evade their unfair deployment due to the racial discrimination not only in the US society but also in the military services in those days.

They knew that they would face capital punishment possibly to be handed down at the military tribunal if caught. They were desperately escaping from the fear of death they would face both on the front lines and at the military tribunal. They formed about 50 heavily armed groups of bandits, each of whom consisted of 4 to 5 men went dispersed in different directions into Kokura city.

They had rampantly looted the Japanese houses, had violently injured the innocent and defenseless Japanese civilians and had brutally raped the innocent Japanese women including housewives just nearby their children and husbands witnessing their brutal acts for 4 days until they were suppressed by US forces after fierce exchange of fire between them.

Only 70 crime cases were reported to and confirmed by the Japanese police because many of the victims were reluctant to complaint about their shameful experiences and because the supreme commander General MacArthur ordered Japan not to report on the brutal incident.

Immediately after they were suppressed and arrested, they were sent to the Korean peninsula where most of them died for the United States of America.

Seichō Matsumoto (松本 清張, Matsumoto Seichō, December 21, 1909 – August 4, 1992) was a Japanese writer who published 黒地の絵 "Kuroji no e" in 1958, written based on the incident as he was a citizen born in Kokura city where the incident occurred. In his book, he focused on a husband whose wife was brutally raped right near him and who soon became insane while Matsumoto never forgot to defend the black soldiers as victims of the racial discrimination in the US military services.

US brutal act during US occupation of Japan No. 2

The above photo shows one of the comfort stations established specifically for US servicemen since Japan had to obey any order US occupation forces issued. The comfort station in the photo was located at Yasuura, Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

 

Before further disclosing US brutal acts in Japan during US occupation of Japan, readers should be exposed to the overstrain the Government of Japan had experienced after Japan faced a major defeat on August 15, 1945. It was not during the Great East Asia War (called either the Pacific War or the World War II in the West) but only during US occupation of Japan after Japan's major defeat that the Government of Japan had to get itself involved in establishing "comfort stations" as it was ordered by General Headquarters, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (hereinafter referred to as "GHQ") on September 28, 1945.

The order given by GHQ specifically instructed Japan to establish "comfort stations "for officers and other servicemen stationed in the Kanto plain.

Despite Japan's efforts to protect the Japanese women from the sexual assaults, including initial allocation of national budget (JPY 50 million equivalent to USD 1 billion at the current value) to the establishment of "comfort stations", a huge number of the Japanese women had been raped by the US occupation forces until Japan recovered its sovereignty on April 28, 1952.  One must remember that the amount of JPY 50 million meant "astronomical costs" Japan had to bear just for satisfying sexual desire of US sercivemen when Japan's economy was almost completely devastated by unnecessary and relentless US carpet bombing on civilian targets throughout Japan, not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres.

Believe it or not, "raping" had begun as soon as US occupation forces (US Marines) landed on Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on August 30, 1945.

Failed Attack on PM Abe over Yasukuni Shrine

At the Budget Committee of the Upper House, the Diet (Japan's national legislature) held on April 25, the Democratic Party of Japan, better known as so-called "Anti-Japan Political Party" or "A group of leftist operatives" or "A group of traitors" among many Japanese cybercitizens has failed a surprise attack on Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Abe Shinzo and Mr. Furuya Keiji, State Minister in charge of North Korea's abductions of Japanese nationals over the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine where 2.4 million brave souls of the fallen soldiers are enshrined at for remembering and honoring their dedicated services to Japan and her people.

Ms. Tokunaga Eri, representing the Democratic Party of Japan clearly stated in her question that families of abductees (those abducted by North Korea) have lost all hope (of rescuing the victims) due to the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine, subsequently raising a question of whether the Abe Cabinet will further address the abduction issue or not.

Her story came as a bolt from the blue. Mr. Furuya Keiji then immediately returned a question to her "Can you tell us which one of the families of abduction victims has actually criticized our visit to Yasukuni Shrine? I just can't overlook your accusation. So, give us their names if it is true?."

Without clarifying the accusation she just made against Mr. Furuya Keiji, she suddenly started firing words of accusation at PM Abe Shinzo as she seemed having been cornered, facing a question of who has criticized the visit to Yasukuni Shrine. Although she seemed to have lost her confidence in winning her battle, she asked PM Abe what he thinks of their visit to Yasukuni Shrine she believes undeniable in having negatively impacted South Korea and China.

Before replying her question, PM Abe asked her to answer the question raised by Mr. Furuya Keiji as he believes it extremely essential in view of the importance attached to the functions of the Budget Committee. PM Abe further stated that not only she as a questioner will lose her credibility but also she will damage credibility of her party if she can't produce evidence to substantiate her claim.

PM Abe emphatically reminded her that in the area of diplomacy, there exist a number of attempts to repudiate truths, for example, Chinese denial of a truth that Senkaku has long been historically and internationally recognized as being an integral part of Japan.

As for the visits to Yasukuni Shrine, PM Abe introduced her to the historical account that no South Korean president had ever criticized Japan until Roh Moo-hyun became the ninth president of South Korea (2003–2008). PM Abe believes it important to look into why South Korea has all of a sudden posed in such a manner as to show its current stance toward our visit to Yasukuni Shrine.

He further emphasized that even China had never protested Japan against ex-Prime Ministers' visit to Yasukuni Shrine when and after 14 Japanese, so-called war criminals (Note: no war criminals legally acknowledged in Japan. They were either executed=murdered by US or died in jail.) were enshrined together with other brave souls in 1978. He said it was just recently that Chinese criticism came out of the blue. 

He continued to say that similarly China had never protested Japan against her sovereignty over Senkaku Islands during the period from 1895 to 1971. PM Abe believes it necessary to fully recognize these facts, so that we will properly deal with China and at the same time he believes it natural to express a sense of reverence for those who devoted their lives to our country. He believes that his cabinet members will not accept any threats whatsoever.

Concluding her question over Yasukuni Shrine, Ms. Tokunaga Eri asked PM Abe how he will deal with unpleasant feelings expressed by China and South Korea.

PM Abe said that Yasukuni Shrine is here in Japan and just nearby here, and that he strongly questions those who accept their criticism of our visit to Yasukuni Shrine for praying for the brave souls without feeling unjustified pain and that he believes it wrong for them to condemn our visits. PM Abe continued to say he believes it is his duty to defend our national interests and to preserve pride of our history and tradition. He finally said he would like to make it clear that we will not compromise our pride just for the sake of harmonizing.

Ms. Tokunaga said feebly she has some sentiments about this matter; therefore, she will discuss them with PM Abe whenever possible in the future. She sounded like she was learning an important lesson by this failed attack.

LDP Policy Chief commented on Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on April 24 as follows;

I believe that Japan-China relation is extremely important, however, it is none of their business how we Japanese honor and remember our soldiers who lost their lives during their services to our country. We decide on how we appreciate their services, therefore, I question why our visit to Yasukuni Shrine develops into a diplomatic issue.

２１２人の国会議員とともに、心静かに手をあわせ、英霊への敬意と感謝の誠を捧げました。例年よりかなり参加議員が増えました。これ昨年末の総選挙の結果、国民の意思の表れだとと思います。その一方で、中国公船等の動きにも注視が必要です

Tweets as follows; Calmly putting my hands together, I paid the fullest respect and the highest tribute to the souls of the war dead enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine with other 212 members of the Diet (Japan's National Legislature). Compared with the last years, the number of politicians who visit Yasukuni Shrine has considerably increased. I regard this increase as a clear indication of the public will, well evidenced in the general election held in the last December. Obviously, we must stay vigilant of the Chinese movements including the Chinese government ships.

Mr. Nariaki Nakayama, a member of the House of Representatives tweets as follows;

In the Budget Committee of the Lower House, Japan's National Legislature, I believe that the door has been opened for Prime Minister of Japan Shintaro Abe to visit Yasukuni Shrine since I first raised a question of what Prime Minister thinks of his failure to visit Yasukuni Shrine despite the very fact that he visits Arlington National Cemetery where the soldiers killed in battles against Japan are honored and remembered. And, then I touched upon the diary of the late Prime Minister of China Zhou Enlai, in which he states that he was deeply impressed by Yasukuni Shrine when he visited there. This overture, I believe, has thwarted expected criticism (of PM Abe's future visit to Yasukuni Shrine) by China, thus helping Japan become a normal nation.

@TedYokohama Easier to adopt that attitude if you think Japan's long-term security in no way depends on relations with neighbors.

Taylor Washburn‏@washburnt7h

@TedYokohama You'll also find that while the alliance enjoys strong support in DC, US has little patience for that point of view.

Taylor Washburn‏@washburnt7h

@TedYokohama But if you think Japan can afford to alienate neighbors and frustrate the US, by all means, keep pushing that line.

@TedYokohama Personally, I think Japan's security matters more.

@jakeadelstein Your recent article "Yasukuni Shrine: The Nation’s Pacifying Shrine That Angers Other Nations" has been written to offend Japan, although your brief preamble states "neither opposed to the existence of Yasukuni Jinja nor does it support the views of the group currently operating the shrine or Japanese nationalists." as it chiefly defines "Yasukuni Shrine from the American perspectives. It is quite offending and disturbing.

Since the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853, U.S. invasion into Japan has begun, eroding the Japanese culture and tradition. And U.S. has been often destructive. Japan lost the Greater East Asia War in 1945; however, ultimately Japan helped them gain independence with sacrifices paid for freedom. It was a major struggle for freedom in the Greater East Asia.

Japan's modern history and colonization of Asia by the west are inseparably related to each other. There are three major points we should consider as prerequisites for describing a history of modernizing Japan.

1. At the starting point of Japan's modernization, Japan was faced with growing military threats from Great Britain, Russia, France, Netherlands, U.S.A., Germany, etc. while nothing but their battles for domination in Asia prevented them from fully and easily colonizing Asia. Therefore, they were still fighting for supremacy in Asia while Japan was going through a process of modernizing herself, so as to maintain her own independence. ex. Great Britain completed her control over India just 10 years before Meiji Restoration in 1868, Burma in 1886, and Malay Peninsula in 1909. France took Vietnam by force in 1887. Netherlands officially colonized Indonesia in 1904. U.S.A. annexed Hawaii in 1898, and seized Philippine the same year. Russia was posing a great threat to Japan in those years.

2. As shown in the above, Japan was completely surrounded by the western militaristic nations who had strong belief in colonialism for their own benefits. Even China was struggling with difficulties to preserve her own lands since China was in a deteriorating state resulting from its excessive bureaucracy. Korea was just a vassal state of China. Japan vehemently desired that Korea would soon become independent from China and would quickly modernize herself, thereby strengthening Japan's defense against the western aggression. Either the western powers or Russia would have colonized the Korean peninsula if nothing done. The only option left for Japan was to help Korea become independent from China. Japan had much stronger awareness of risks since Japan had experienced long-lasted Samurai period.

3. China and Korea were powerless and helpless. However, they had harbored ungrounded superiority complex over Japan. Ex. Sino-centrism. They tended to regard Japan's modernizing efforts as a disturbing factor to Sino-centrism.

Without keeping three points in one's mind, one must not see a history of Japan in relation to what China fabricates and what both Koreas fabricate.

A Note:
Hundreds of thousands of lives were suddenly and deliberately ended by evil, despicable acts of atrocity. B-29 bombers flying at very low altitude above Tokyo, dropping incendiary bombs and napalms on the innocent civilians. Exploding -- not only burning a huge -- a huge number of houses but also suffocating and incinerating a huge -- a huge number of humans have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and unyielding anger. It was just a huge -- a huge gas chamber and a huge incinerator --the largest ever created in the history of mankind. It was just intended to demonstrate their superiority over the Asian races. But they failed. Many Asian nations gained independence from the white ruled nations after the war.-Ted Yokohama.
