A phone doesn’t create conflict; it just highlights the cracks that were already there in the parent-child relationship.

What I can't understand is Japan's obsession with "world heritage sites." How many gold mines are there in the world? The mines in South Africa, Russia and the Yukon must be bigger and more spectacular than the one at Sado. Gold has always been a part of human history, but for thousands of years people have been digging for it all over the world.
The next "world heritage sites" could be the Tokyo subways, or traditional Japanese drop toilets!
Insecurity and a drive to be recognised and praised by the international community. It goes back to the Meiji period.
