Although North Korea often reports and claims that Japanese people committed mass killing at the time of Great Kanto Quake that occurred at 11:58:44 am JST (2:58:44 UTC=Coordinated Universal Time synonymous with GMT) on Saturday, September 1, 1923, the article published on October 21, 1923 reports otherwise on what happened after the major quake.
Law enforcement authority states as follows:
According to our survey on credibility of the newspaper ariticles frequently reporting that some of the Koreans committed the illegal acts at the time of Great Kanto Quake, we could acknowledge the fact that Koreans were generally good while some discontent Koreans committed numerous crimes.
They committed such crimes as looting, arson, rape, murder, and possession of illegal weapons.

The newspaper article on Korean brutality at the time of Great Kanto Quake-dated October, 21, 1923
Deeply impressed with well-defined analysis of U.S. anti-Japan maneuvering in Asia before and after the Greater East Asia War (or the World War II or the Pacific War called in the Western Hemisphere; read The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War" ) in the blog post I was recently exposed to, I have decided to devote my time and effort to writing a brief English summary of the post whose title is "Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ ".
Syngman Rhee (born on March 26, 1875 and died on July 19, 1965) had forced the Korean population to deny anything Japanese by nurturing hatred toward Japan among the Korean population as soon as he became the first president of the Republic of Korea in 1948 ( Read When S. Korea Gained Independence? August 15, 1945 or August 13, 1948? ).
He was actively involved in fabricating a story that Korea before Japan-Korean annexation in 1910 was the most ideal state in the East whereas denouncing falsely Japan as the most barbaric nation and in spreading it throughout U.S. via such mass media as newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst, thereby trying to seek and secure assistance from U.S. (Read Koreans Return Evil for Good ).
His fabricated story of Japan as "evil" undoubtedly served as a basis for U.S. to determine its political intervention in the Far East. A majority of Koreans who actually lived happily during the 35 years of annexation had to accept his fictitious story, knowing it was untrue because anyone who publicly stated "The Great Imperial Japan was good or Rhee's government was bad" was arrested, jailed, tortured, and executed by Rhee.
He further strengthened his anti-Japan policy, so as to detruct people's attention from the serious crimes he committed soon after he sworn in as the first president. Just to list a few of his atrocities in South Korea, Rhee was responsible for Bodo League massacre of 1950 (South Korean civilian organizations believe there might have been up to 1,140,000 victims,representing 6% of the 1950 population of South Korea. ), Jeju Uprising of 1948 in which 14,000 to 60,000 individuals were killed in fighting or execution, and National Defense Corps Incident of 1950 in which some 50,000to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps because the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo embezzled funds allocated to foods for the recruited soldiers.
Thus, the direction of Japan-South Korean relationship was basically determined when Rhee became the first president of the Republic of Korea, well assisted by the U.S. government. His anti-Japan policy has been uninterruptedly handed down, one after another, to the current president.
A Japanese fisherman abducted and tortured by South Korea in 1950s. No information on his whereabouts has been given to Japan by South Korea.
A Brief History - Takeshima Invasion by ROK: During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And,44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea. Besides, South Korea used abducted fishermen as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Japan on the Treaty.
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.

Korea had been so miserable and uncivilized before Japan saved it from brutal China
Updated on August 9, 2013 at 11:02 the time when A-Bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Pray for those non-combatants including babies who evaporated in the massacre!
Nagasaki massacre was executed only 3 days after Hiroshima massacre. It simply shows a true nature of the white Americans who had lived in the Golden Age of discrimination against other races, cultures, religions, etc. equally condemnable by the same standard as applied to "Holocaust" relentlessly executed by the Nazis.
A mere fact that the white-ruled USA had executed "Holocaust" twice in three days in a relentless and brutal manner represents the American whitism which still stealthily helps the United States of America inspire its national prestige regardless of what US leaders, politicians, pundits, etc. state on their foreign policy; the most recent statement issued by the US embassy in Tokyo says "the United States looks forward to continuing to work with Japan to advance President (Barack) Obama's goal of realizing a world without nuclear weapons."
Not a word of apology has been so far uttered by anyone of the US government departments, etc. yet. Furthermore, it seems that the US government has often foxily employed such tactics as "threats" and/or "decoys", forcing the Japanese Government to accept "unconditional consent" to the US idea of realizing Japan-US relations oblivious to Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres. In other words, the US government often feeds Japan "Choke Pear", so as to keep Japan shut its mouth about Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres.
At least two U.S. presidents Roosevelt and Truman must be arrested dead or dead now for their atrocities. The whole world should immediately organize and begin The International Military Tribunal for the Far East here in Tokyo. They should be charged with the most serious crime against humanity regardless of what excuses and stories U.S. has fabricated. This is the minimum requirement to satisfy before the US government proceeds with realization of a world without nuclear weapons.
Population of Hiroshima at the time of nuclear attack by U.S. was estimated to be 350,000. A single bomb dubbed "Little Boy" wiped out 122,338 innocent non-combatants (not including unborn babies). They perished because of the most malicious and meanest intentions both U.S. presidents had harbored in those days. TV reported last night that a total of 286,818 people (recognized as victims of US nuclear attack as they were in Hiroshima at the time of nuclear blast.) have so far died of various causes resulting from nuclear exposure while 162,083 victims have so far confirmed dead in Nagasaki.
Therefore, 2 U.S. presidents (Roosevelt and Truman) massacred a total of 448,901 people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki alone. In Japan, there are many more victims of U.S. nuclear attacks still suffering from radiation exposure.
Mr. Toshio Tabogami, ex-chief of staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force insists, "Nuke attacks on Japan is the worst inhumane war crime ever committed in the history of mankind, therefore, US had to produce "a scenario" in which Japan committed war crimes which she in fact never did."
U.S. hurriedly opened The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) in which US produced false evidences to prove Japan was guilty. U.S. imposed the current constitution on Japan at gunpoint while still holding IMTFE, clearly violating international laws.
Demand every white American, every white British, and every white Canadian to pray for those victimized by their ancestors when it is the time of blast in Nagasaki at 11:02 (Japan Standard Time=GMT+ 9 hours) 68 years ago today.
Updated on August 6, 2014 at 8:15 the time when A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Pray for those non-combatants incl. babies who evaporated in Hiroshima massacre!
August 6 is not only one of the most important memorial days for the postwar Japan and her people but also it symbolizes despicable brutality of the white Americans still desperately groping for an answer to their guilt while USA exerts in vain every possible effort to water down the worst human rights violation in the history of mankind by all means to educate the whole world in cahoots with China and often with its puppet state called South Korea (created by USA on August 13, 1948 after seizure of the southern half of the Korean peninsula from Japan on September 8, 1945, who in fact liberated the entire Korea from brutal Chinese ruler when Japan defeated China in 1895 and defeated an agreesor Russia in 1905).
Whenever leftists in Japan refer to atomic bombings both Hiroshima and Nagasaki witnessed on August 6 and August 9, 1945 respectively, they outrageously leave out "who did it" but just say repeatedly "never be pardoned again". It really sounds like those responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres have been forgiven by Japan and her people long ago. It strongly suggests that although they are regarded as leftists in Japan, they seem to have been either closely related to or influenced by USA trying to whitewash the carefully premeditated human experimentations carried out to prove the effectiveness of the white ruled USA (chiefly Jews who denounce "Holocaust" relentlessly executed by the Nazis.) -developed nuclear weapons and at the same time to demonstrate their superiority over the Japanese race who once hindered them from fully dominating Asia.
The East Asia has witnessed changes since the Greater East Asia War (also called the World War II or the Pacific War in USA) formally ended on September 2, 1945. Japan was placed under the military administration of the Allied Forces for about 6 years and 8 months from September 2, 1945 to April 28, 1952.
MacArthur, so-called Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP) committed a crime of establishing the constitution and the fundamental law of education, violating the Hague Land War Convention that prohibits the occupation forces from enacting any laws being permanent in nature in the occupied areas while allowing them to exercise very strong authority to control the occupied areas by giving such orders as agricultural land reform order, Zaibatsu dissolution order, etc. being temporary in nature to those in the occupied areas. More importantly, US-led Tokyo Trials (formally called The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) was concurrently held from April 29, 1946 to November 12, 1948, thereby threatening the leaders of Japan, Japanese politicians, and the ordinary citizens at gunpoint. In other words, the post war Japan started with life threatening terror orchestrated by the white-ruled USA who arrested and purged anyone found to be disobeying or running counter to the basic design of the post war Japan crafted by the white-ruled USA.
Just before the Tribunal was adjourned on November 12, 1948, the white ruled USA created its puppet state called "the Republic of Korea on August 13, 1948, whose basic national policy is to pursue anti-Japan, so as to ensure that the white-ruled USA would control Japan and South Korea in an old fashioned way of "divide and rule". Thus, the post war regime was fully set up for US to control Japan and South Korea.
The following statement shows a true nature of General Douglas MacArthur:
The Allied power will never recognize Japan as being equal in every respect. As Japan is our enemy who lost the war, she has no rights to occupy any position in the civilized world. We will not negotiate with Japan.
The above statement was issued in reply to the article published on September 15, 1945 by The Asahi Shinbun.
As long as the United States of America champions “Power is justice.”, she will not refuse to accept her own violations of international laws and war crimes as evidenced in the use of the Atomic bombs, massacres of the innocent civilians, indiscriminate attacks on hospital ships, and the use of poisonous gases.
We will make the Americans observe terrible spectacles of the bombed areas as much as possible and will make them realize that they should nurture their own sense of responsibilities for compensation and reconstruction by means of sincerely revealing the fact that Japan alone will never envision reconstruction and also by placing an emphasis on our determination that we will make them recognize Japan’s democratic recovery and her participation in international trade as being nothing disagreeable to the US interests and also to the international wellbeing, thereby making them actively cooperate with Japan in reconstruction. by Mr. Ichiro Hatoyama -end of the translation.
Since September 18, 1945, the Japanese media ceased to report anything which General MacArthur might consider damaging to the interests of the allied power, followed by an order for the Japanese media to observe the code of practice issued on September 19, 1945, by which MacArthur scrutinized every article before publication.
MacArthur had already ordered The Associated Press (AP) not to report anything the Allied power might find damaging to its interests on September 1, 1945, one day before the official ceremony of Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
Therefore, September 18, 1945 is another substantially significant date that US actually began its brainwashing activities in Japan under "War Guilt Information Program=WGIP" executed by MacArthur, trying to make the entire Japanese population believe that only Japan is bad and wrong in every respect while US and its allies are good and right in every respect.
One of the foreign journalists who were arrested and deported by MacArthur was Mark J. Gayn well known in Japan for his book titled "Japan Diary" first published in 1948. He was critical of US bombings and Tokyo Trials condemned as "travesty of justice". He wrote, ''As a newspaperman, I feel incensed every time I hear of violence done to the free press. But as a citizen of a democratic state I also see each such instance as a denial of my right to know, and therefore of my ability to understand the world in which we live.''
Finally, two of the recent US efforts, inter alia, to palliate the infamous human rights violation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres are a story of comfort women and a story of Nanking massacre known as those fabricated in cahoots with leftists in Japan, therefore, allowing USA to enjoy its arrant pride in the achievement done by B29 Enola Gay that dropped A-bomb on Hiroshima and that has been shamelessly displayed at the U.S Air and Space Museum.
The United States of America has always been sensitive of which way the wind would blow during the Greater East Asia War (often called either the Pacific War or the WWII in the West) and after the war. This US sensitivity has been observed in its apparent behavior of either having concealed its brutal acts by minimizing the occasions of recording their brutal acts or having classified documents and films depicting them.
In other words, USA well experienced in racial discriminations and crimes against humanity throughout its history has been shrewdly aware of what would probably happen if no measures were taken to prevent the international community from being exposed to truths, that is, its never-ceasing commitments to secure ways to defend its unlawful actions under any circumstances.
However, there are at least one or two good persons found regardless of nationalities, willing to reveal truths of what the rest of their people do or have done against their enemies. An American hero, Mr. Charles A. Lindbergh recalls US atrocities in his diary as follows;
Wednesday, June 21, 1944
General's account of killing a Japanese solider: A technical sergeant in an advanced area some weeks ago complained that he had been with combat forces in the Pacific for over two years and never had a chance to do any fighting himself-that he would like the chance to kill a least one Jap before he went home. He was invited to go out on a patrol into enemy territory.
The sergeant saw no Jap to shoot, but members of the patrol took a prisoner. The Jap prisoner was brought to the sergeant with the statement that here was his opportunity to kill a Jap.
"But I can't kill that man! He's a prisoner. He's defenseless."
"Hell, this is war. We'll show you how to kill the son of a bitch." One of the patrol members offered the Jap a cigarette and a light, and as he started to smoke, an arm was thrown around his head and his throat "slit from ear to ear."
The above atrocity is not one particular and irregular case at all. There are many more cases of brutalities against the Japanese soldiers during the war.
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.
A photo below shows the cenotaph of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Great Imperial Japanese Army in the area used as the US storage depot during the Korean war.
The article below reports on one of the US brutal acts committed in Japan, ignoring Japan's laws and order during US occupation of Japan.
The article dated September 9, 1945, only 7 days after Japan signed an instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri when General MacArthur concluded the ceremony by saying: “Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always."
However, "Peace" MacArthur talked about is only for victors but not for Japan. September 2, 1945 is "a date which will live in infamy." as far as Japan goes. It is the date that General MacArthur began his really cruel brainwashing campaign against Japan and her people, not to mention the brutal acts such as raping, abduction, looting, killing, etc.
The article below succinctly describes the rampant abduction and raping of Japanese women by US soldiers.
Translation:
Title: Japanese women rampantly abducted by US soldiers
Urging victims to report abduction cases to the Authority
Reporting from Yokohama:
A number of the deplorable criminal cases have gradually decreased because the Japanese authority's repeated strong protest to Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (see Note 1) who has accordingly issued an order to US soldiers seems to have proven effective.
However, compared with other criminal cases committed by the US forces, abduction of Japanese women by US soldiers who craftily avoid surveillance being enforced by US Military Police has conspicuously increased.
Their most common modus operandi is that several US soldiers driving in a car approach a Japanese woman walking on the street and then force her into the car and drive away to the unknown place where they satisfy their sexual desire. They afterward drive her back to the housing area.
A majority of the victims has not submitted complaints to the Japanese Authority because they have no choice but to just keep themselves quiet about their shameful experience they don't want anybody to know. Thus, a number of cases that have been recognized as criminal cases is limited although quite a few number of witness accounts have been so far given to the Japanese Authority.
The Japanese Authority faces legal limitation to deal with those cases reported by eyewitnesses, against which the Japanese Authority in fact desires to strongly protest the Supreme Commander, since whereabouts and names of the victims have remained unknown. The Japanese Authority urges the victims to submit complaints to the Japanese police station or police box (Koban) although the Japanese Authority fully understands that the victims have to endure pains and shame they have suffered, not only for the victims but also for those who are not yet fully aware of US criminal cases.
There are some victims who have written anonymous letters of complaints about their brutal experience to the police, however, they are not legally effective at all. They must complain about them directly to the police. The Mainichi Shinbun -end of the translation.

On September 18, 1945, General MacArthur ordered the Government of Japan to suspend for two days from September 18 to September 20 all the reporting activities of The Asahi Shinbun for the reason that the following article published on September 15, 1945 by The Asahi Shinbun had angered General MacArthur.
At the same time, General MacArthur issued his statement as follows:
The Allied power will never recognize Japan as being equal in every respect. As Japan is our enemy who lost the war, she has no rights to occupy any position in the civilized world. We will not negotiate with Japan.
(Although I believe that his original statement was written in English, the above is only a gist of his statement tentatively translated into English from the Japanese translation known to the people in Japan. Thus, it may differ from the original.)
The following translation of the article published by The Asahi Shinbum is provisional.
As long as the United States of America champions “Power is justice.”, she will not refuse to accept her own violations of international laws and war crimes as evidenced in the use of the Atomic bombs, massacres of the innocent civilians, indiscriminate attacks on hospital ships, and the use of poisonous gases.
We will make the Americans observe terrible spectacles of the bombed areas as much as possible and will make them realize that they should nurture their own sense of responsibilities for compensation and reconstruction by means of sincerely revealing the fact that Japan alone will never envision reconstruction and also by placing an emphasis on our determination that we will make them recognize Japan’s democratic recovery and her participation in international trade as being nothing disagreeable to the US interests and also to the international wellbeing, thereby making them actively cooperate with Japan in reconstruction. by Mr. Ichiro Hatoyama -end of the translation.

Note 1: Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) is the title held by General Douglas MacArthur during the occupation of Japan following the Greater East Asia War ( or WWII or Pacific War in the West).
@profLind @yukipo_3 @jan_banning @AhnSehong The following is one of the tweets by Noah Smith
@Noahpinion Toru Hashimoto is right; Americans DID abuse Japanese women during the occupation: arabnews.com/news/451980 My grandfather saw it firsthand.
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.
We Japanese should be exposed to the historical events, in which the United States forces and its allies brutally practiced abuse of Japanese POWs. We most assuredly and most incontestably shall remember that International Military Tribunal for the Far East, so called Tokyo Trials was just a great deception.
The following photos (only a few of many photos) prove that the United States forces and its allies are guilty of Class C war crimes (crimes against humanity) which is one of the three broad categories established by USA and its allies. The photos alone are enough to prove that USA and its allies committed war crimes of forcing Japanese POWs either to labor under inhumane conditions or to experience ill-treatment.
Many Japanese soldiers were executed (=murdered) by USA and its allies for the war crimes which they had never committed at all.
Hu Jintao masterminded massacres of Tibetians while Xi Jinping masterminded massacres of Uyghurs. China finds them qualified to preside over its government only because they masterminded a number of atrocities while we find it quite absurd to know that China harshly condemns "Rape of Nanking" , which has been conveniently fabricated by themselves.
Winning a battle is not an evidence proving a victor has been right. It only means such victors as US, etc. have committed more killings. Often wondering how the Americans could forget a nunber of atrocities committed in the course of conquering the continents & islands.
We have learned a lot of history (see Note 1. below) from south korea, haven't we? Just remember how often korea invaded Japan even before The Mongol invasions of Japan (元寇, Genkō?) of 1274 and 1281 (see Note 2. below). Japan should demand south korea to apologize to Japan for having invaded Japan in 813, 871, 880, 894, 906, 943, 998, 999, 1014, 1019, and 1097.
Note 1: A south korean Assistant Professor Ms. Kim appeared on Japanese TV just a few days ago (March 4, 2013) and stated that south korea will never forget a history of Japanese invasion into korea even for 1,000 years. Japanese commentators strongly dismissed her statement as being false and further demanded her to remember the korean brutal invasions into Japan in the last 1,000 years. They are two invasions generally called "The Mongol invasions of Japan.
Note 2.:The Mongol invasions of Japan (元寇, Genkō?) of 1274 and 1281 was in fact brutally and mercilessly executed by koreans as korea was a vassal state of The Mongolian empire.
January 18, 1952-a date which will live in infamy-Japan was suddenly and deliberately invaded by the South Koreans under the command of South Korea president Syngman Rhee, so as to illegally occupy Takeshima islets by making a groundless and irrational territorial claim over those islets almost three months before San Francisco Peace Agreement (signed on September 8, 1951) became effective on April 28, 1952.
The invasion of Takeshima and its continued occupation has been one of the major irritants often regarded as a causative factor largely responsible for deterioration of relations between Japan and South Korea in the last decades despite Japan and her people’s deep sympathy expressed in the form of economic and technical assistance toward the Korean population for its unfortunate plights often indirectly and directly resulted from Russian and Chinese interferences with the Korean peninsula.
The invasion of Takeshima began with unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line on January 18, 1952. 1. Syngman Rhee Line (李承晩ライン) unilaterally established by South Korea in defiance of international laws and U.S. warnings. http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/takeshima/installation.html - Installation of "Syngman Rhee Line" and Illegal Occupation of Takeshima by the Republic of Korea.
The invasion and continued occupation is a clear violation of San Francisco Peace Treaty in which Article 2 of Chapter II Territory stipulates that (a) Japan recognizing the independence of Korea, renounces all right, title and claim to Korea, including the islands of Quelpart, Port Hamilton and Dagelet. In (a) of Article 2, Quelpart Island (Jejudo, 제주도, 済州島), Port Hamilton (Geomun-do, 거문도, 巨文島), and Dagelet (Ulleungdo, 울릉도, 鬱陵島) are specifically mentioned. It is so clear to anyone that Takeshima islets have never been included in a list of the islands when Japan renounced all right, title and claim to Korea. http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/takeshima/sanfrancisco.pdf -Treaty of Peace with Japan, Chapter II Territory, Article 2.
Today, I would like to focus on one of the unforgivable atrocities the government of South Korea committed in a futile attempt to distort a number of historical facts related to Japan’s unalterable position over Takeshima islets.
On January 22, 1953, two fishing vessels respectively named “Daiichi Daihou Maru and Daini Daihou Maru of Taihou Fisheries Company left Fukuoka, Japan for fishing operations. By February 4, they arrived at No. 284 fishing zone in international waters near Jeju Island.
When two Japanese fishing vessels operating in the designated fishing zone at around 7:00 a.m. the same day, two S. Korean fishing vessels (第一昌運号제 2 장 운 호and第二昌運号제 2 장 운 호) were spotted approaching the Japanese fishing vessels. They soon came close to the Japanese fishing vessels. And, then S. Korean crews greeted Japanese crews by saying “How’s your fishing going today?” They just passed by and stopped nearby, watching the Japanese fishing vessels.
As soon as Daiichi Daihou Maru began pulling fishing net up, the S. Korean vessels (in fact disguised as the fishing vessels manned by military personnel, etc.) at the distance of 30 meters from the stern of the Japanese fishing vessels opened firing automatic rifles at Daiichi Daihou Maru. Two Japanese fishing vessels were trying to escape their sudden and vicious attack on them but both of them were soon captured by 8:30 a.m. since the South Koreans were intensely and fiercely firing at them.
One of chief fishermen was hit in the head with a bullet fired from one of the automatic rifles and fell unconscious. Then, they told Daiichi Daihou Maru and Daiini Daihou Maru to head to Jeju Island. They arrived at Hanlin port, Jeju Island at 11:30 a.m. The Japanese crews were transferred to the S. Korean police authority that soon confiscated private belongings, properties, equipment, etc. When at the police authority, the Japanese crews told them that one of their crews was seriously injured. He was then taken to a hospital which one could hardly call "hospital" since it had no wards, equipment, instruments, etc. A Korean doctor just refused to extend any medical care to him. The Japanese fishing crews requested the police authority to find a hospital for him but they just rejected their request by stating “We are just carrying out our duty in accordance with an order given by the military. Therefore, we have no responsibility.” Then, they requested the military to extend necessary medical care to him. However, the military again refused to do so.
They repeatedly requested the military to hospitalize him at the military hospital. They even told them that they would pay for medical expenses. Then, they pretended to accept their request and told them “They would soon transport him to the military hospital by car.” However, he was just left alone there. He died at 23:00 p.m. on February 6.
The Japanese crews requested the police authority to cremate dead Chief fisherman. However, it was turned down. They had to improvise his funeral service and materials to cremate him all by themselves.
On February 9, they were transferred to an air defense facility in which they were confined in a small room whose floor area was 8.25 square meters. 18 crews were confined there with no food supplied by them. They had to survive on limited foods they had with them.
During police interrogation, the S. Korean police authority insisted that two Japanese fishing vessels were captured 9 nautical miles from Hanlin, Jeju Island. On the other hand, the Japanese crews pointed out not only inaccuracy of navigational compass but also speed of the Korean vessels and then insisted that it was 30 nautical miles at the time of capture. Then, the South Korean police authority forced them to accept 13 nautical miles close to halfway between the Japanese claim and the Korean claim. According to a navigator of Daiini Daihou Maru separately questioned by the South Korean police authority, two Japanese vessels were 30 nautical miles from Jeju Island when they were captured.
At 23:00 p.m. on the same day, they were transferred to the police station at Jeju city and were jailed at the prison cell without any meal at all. The prison cell was only 8.25 square meters. 18 crews were jailed together with Korean inmates at a very small cell. However, some meager meals were served there.
The Japanese crews were again interrogated by the Jeju police. The Jeju police charged the Japanese crews with violation of Syngman Rhee Line. They refuted the South Korean claim by telling them that installation of the line encompassing the island of Takeshima and a large area of water with fisheries jurisdiction was a unilateral act in contravention of international law.
The police prepared an investigator’s record of oral statement in Hangul, in which the police falsified the statement as saying that the Japanese crews violated Syngman Rhee Line. The police told them to sign the falsified statement written in Hangul and informed the Government of Japan to the effect that they admitted violation of Syngman Rhee Line.
However, it was so obvious that two Japanese vessels were captured in international waters since the South Korean police fabricated a story of violation by the Japanese fishing vessels. A U.S. Navy representative met with South Korean pres. Syngman over the incident. Syngman expressed his regrets over abduction of the Japanese fishermen in international waters. Two fishing vessels and crews were returned home guarded by U.S Navy Frigate ship on February 17.
When leaving South Korea, the South Korean police stated “We are very sorry for death of your crew. Since our country is at war, we couldn’t afford to give you foods even if we wanted to. Please do not say anything bad about the police.”
Major Issues of the Incident described above:
Installation of Syngman Rhee Line encompassing the island of Takeshima and a large area of water with fisheries jurisdiction is a unilateral act in contravention of international law.
Firing at the civilian ships without warnings in international waters is a crime.
Premeditated criminal act committed by the government of South Korea to pursue its military purpose of illegally occupying the large area of water and Takeshima as evidenced in the fact that each Korean vessel was staffed with 1 military police, 1 specially trained soldier, 1 information officer, 4 police officers in addition to 12 crews.
Serious human rights violation by abusing the Japanese crews during interrogations. ex. Refusal to offer medical care, Refusal to supply foods, Refusal to carry out funeral service and cremation, Confinement of the Japanese crews at overcrowded cell whose floor area is less than 8.25 square meters, etc.
The above is just a beginning of brutal killings and abduction of the Japanese fishermen by the government of South Korea.
During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral installation of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And, 44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea.
It is well known that the government of South Korea advantageously proceeded its negotiations with Japan over Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea signed on June 22, 1965 while keeping Japanese fishermen as hostages whom the government of South Korea used as a bargaining chip.

Una breve storia - Takeshima Invasa dalla Repubblica di Corea: Durante il periodo dal 18 gennaio 1952 (data di applicazione unilaterale della linea Syngman Rhee) al 22 giugno 1965 (data della firma del trattato sulle relazioni di base tra Giappone e Repubblica di Corea), 328 navi da pesca giapponesi sono stati catturati e 3929 pescatori sono stati rapiti dalla Corea del Sud. E 44 pescatori giapponesi sono stati brutalmente assassinati dalla Corea del Sud. Inoltre, i pescatori del Sud Corea del rapiti utilizzati come merce di scambio per negoziare con il Giappone relativo al trattato e ha chiesto l'assistenza ufficiale allo sviluppo e il dono di denaro (miliardi di dollari) per congratularmi con la Repubblica di indipendenza della Corea.

This photo tells us much more than a historical fact that South Korea fought in Vietnam, catering for the needs of the United States of America. That is how brutal Koreans were during the Vietnam War. They look like "Predators" seen in the American movie. You can count how many ROK soldiers are in the photo. They are all smiling. They are smiling after the victory, in which they brutally killed Vietnamese and cut their ears off and then strung them onto the wire for completing a sort of “Hawaiian Flower (Ears) Lei”. South Korea has never apologized to Vietnam for their brutality including raping thousands of women. They left thousands of orphans behind.
La Corée du Sud a rejeté une proposition faite par le Japon de déposer conjointement une action auprès de la Cour internationale de Justice sur les îlots Takeshima illégalement occupés par la Corée du Sud depuis 1952.
Beaucoup s'attendaient à ce que la Corée du Sud se comporte comme une nation adulte en rompant son lien avec le passé, où il avait souvent pratiquement déchiré documents d'accords bilatéraux dès qu'ils ont atteint les objectifs de l'obtention d'avantages matériels en provenance du Japon.
Toutefois, la Corée du Sud a agi comme d'habitude, en réfutant la proposition du Japon de déposer conjointement une action auprès de la Cour internationale de Justice pour un règlement pacifique du différend sur les îles Takeshima dans la mer du Japon.
Ce comportement a seulement servi à approfondir le vandalisme infâme pratiquée par la Corée du Sud et entacher l'auto-revendiqué mondialisé Corée, pour laquelle la Corée du Sud a récemment dépensé des millions de dollars.
Lorsque officiellement rejeté, la Corée du Sud n'a pas indiqué ni les raisons ni les alternatives concrètes. Toutefois, on croit que le Japon continuera à rechercher des mesures appropriées conformément aux lois pertinentes, y compris une option du dépôt de la plainte devant la Cour internationale de Justice seul.
South Korea's rejection to jointly file a suit with International Court of Justice over Takeshima islets illegally occupied by South Korea since 1952.
Many expected that South Korea would behave as a grown-up nation by severing its link with the past, in which it had often practically torn up documents of bilateral agreements as soon as they achieved objectives of securing material benefits from Japan.
However, South Korea has acted as usual, by refuting Japan's proposal to jointly file a suit with the International Court of Justice for a peaceful settlement of the dispute over the Takeshima islands in the Sea of Japan.
This act has only served as a propellant to deepen its infamous ruffianism and to taint self-claimed "Globalized Korea", for which South Korea has recently spent millions of dollars.
When officially rejected, South Korea failed to indicate neither reasons nor concrete alternatives. However, it is believed that Japan will continue to seek appropriate measures in accordance with relevant laws, including an option of filing the suit with the International Court of Justice alone.

South Korea stole Takeshima islets from Japan during the U.S. occupation. South Korea is not only a thief but also a murderer. South Korean armed ships attacked and captured 328 Japanese fishing vessels without warning, killing 44 fishermen, abducting 3,929 fishermen for confinement as hostages. A photo shows a Japanese fisherman abducted and tortured by South Korea in 1950s. No information on his whereabouts has been given to Japan by South Korea.

This picture portrays Koreans oppressing the innocent Chinese civilians during 35 years of Japan-Korea annexation. This practice of brutal oppression of Chinese by Koreans is called 高麗棒子, literally meaning "unlimited violence by Koreans with billy clubs " in Chinese. They pretended like Japanese. Although Koreans should have full knowledge of the brutal practice in China, they have so far laughed it off.
The outrageous action of landing on Takeshima islets by s. korean pres. Lee on August 10 has obviously helped Japan remain convinced that Japan will inevitably enforce some of the countermeasures Japan has long withheld. It is reported that Japan has been in a process of working out the best possible countermeasures at this moment to deal with absurdity suddenly and deliberately demonstrated by Lee. Not only at the governmental level but also at the citizens level, the necessary execution of countermeasures against s. korean pres. Lee's absurd action appears to be rapidly gaining momentum. Many strongly voice an opinion that Japan's initial action should be in the area of economic sanction such as immediate termination of currency swap agreement with s. korea as Japan only agreed to help s. korea ease s. korean currency exchange situation.
Despite Japan's repeated warning against south korean pres. Lee's entry into Takeshima islets still illegally occupied by south korea since January 18, 1952, a little more than three months before San Francisco Peace Agreement (signed on September 8, 1951) became effective on April 28, 1952, Lee defiantly landed on Takeshima islets at around 14:00 on August 10.
Japan has decided to summon South Korean ambassador in Tokyo over Lee's illegal entry into Takeshima islets while considering the recall of the Japanese Ambassador from Seoul, thereby finding it inevitable to witness rapid deterioration in relations between Japan and south korea.
The Government of Japan has strongly protested south korean government against Lee's landing on Takeshima islets and at the same time has announced that the Government will uncompromisingly deal with south korea's outrageous action.

No disputable reasons exist. However, South Korea invaded Takeshima in 1952 when Japan was still under the U.S.occupation. Takeshima has been illegally occupied by South Korea since then.

@kosakaeiji 荒川区議 小坂英二 tweeted on August 6 as follows; Hiroshima Massacre Day! I Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for those who were massacred in the experiment of A-bomb on humans. To prevent this tragedy from occuring again, We Japan and Japanese nationals must strengthen ourselves and must nurture a necessary perspective. Determined to fight for what we conceive important, so as to prevent attacks and subsequent tragedies from outside. Be proactive and abandon illusionary pacifism. 広島大虐殺の日。人体実験の為に原爆によって虐殺された方々のご冥福を心から祈ります。こうした悲劇を防ぐために、日本や日本国民は強い力と大局観を持たねばなりません。戦ってでも大切なものを守る覚悟を持つことが、外部からの攻撃・悲劇を未然に防ぐ力になります。空想平和主義は害悪そのもの。
Those involved in developing nuclear bombs at Manhattan Project initiated by U.S. pres. Roosevelt in full collaboration with Jewish scientists including Einstein who willingly signed a letter of petition addressed to Roosevelt, urging him to secure budget for conducting research on development of nuclear bombs, and two nations UK and Canada who unhesitatingly joined the U.S. efforts should be held fully responsible for the most serious war crimes ever committed against humanity in the history of mankind by U.S. pres. Truman.
At least two U.S. presidents Roosevelt and Truman must be arrested now for their atrocities whether they are dead or alive. The whole world should immediately organize and begin International Military Tribunal for the Far East here in Tokyo. They should be charged with the most serious crime against humanity regardless of what execuses and stories U.S. has made up for after the end of the Greater East Asia war.
Population of Hiroshima at the time of nuclear attack by U.S. was 420,000, more than a half of the population was wiped out by a single bomb. 122,338 innocent civilians including unborn babies perished because of the most malicious and the meanest intentions both U.S. presidents had harborded in those days. Within five years after the blast on August 6, 1945, 200,000 innocent people had died.
Nagasaki saw 73,884 innocent people instantly killed by two U.S. presidents and 140,000 more died within five years after their nuclear attack on Nagasaki.
In Japan, there are many victims of U.S. nuclear attacks still suffering from radiation exposure.
Mr. Toshio Tabogami, ex-chief of staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force insists "Nuke attacks on Japan. It's the worst inhumane war crime ever committed in the history of mankind. Thus, US had to produce "a scenario" in which Japan committed war crimes that she in fact never did."
U.S. hurriedly opened International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) in which US produced false evidences to prove Japan was guilty. U.S. imposed the current constitution on Japan at gunpoint while still holding IMTFE, clearly violating international laws.
Demand every American, every British, and every Canadian to pray for those victimized by their ancestors when it is the time of blast in Nagasaki at 11:02 (Japan Standard Time=GMT+ 9 hours) 67 years ago today. (Whites only, particularly Angolo-Saxon Whites)
Japan defeated France 2-1 at Wembley Stadium on August 6, the 67th anniversary of Hiroshima Massacre, to book her place in the final of the Women's Olympic Football Tournament while USA didn't miss a chance to play gold medal match with the world champion Japan by scoring a lucky goal in a semi-final with Canada, ending 4-3 after extra time.
Is this predtermined or just coincidental that Japan will face USA in the gold medal match on August 9, the 67th anniversary of Nagasaki Massacre ?
Just out of curiosity, I accessed FIFA official web site to study some statistics of the ongoing tournament and then was surprised to find out that US team has so far committed 65 fouls, the largest number among all the participating teams whereas Japan has been far behind US team, more precisely the smallest, only 23 fouls committed in the last five matches. US team has suffered 58 fouls while Japan 40.
Quite interesting to watch the gold medal match on August 9 to see who will be the Queen of "fouls".
