So, are you suggesting there is some worldwide conspiracy over generations of historians against Japan, and that these select 'Korean experts' that you found on a right-wing Japanese website are the truth?

I found on right-wing Japanese website? ?

You got to stop having the idea of "Japanese right wing, Blah! Blah!", believing the news these medias are feeding you.. You don't even know who wrote this APress article.

I have and read books written by these scholars.

This is about a history, the fact, documents, statistics, collecting truthful or false testimonies, the time consuming job which these Korean scholars went through while there are so many propagandas/ false information out there.

Why can't the journalists convey the information correctly?

This issue is NOT about Naomi/Skin color.

The issue is NIKE voluntarily contact North Korean organization, "朝鮮総連", and used girls for AD "YouCantStopUs" and portraited as an innocent victims of bully in Japan.

You should know, these Korean descendant girls/parents refused to go to Japanese/South Korean school in Japan, but North Korean school (not authorized as a legitimate school by Japanese government) worshipping a dictator Kim in class killing its people and starving to death and abducted Japanese/South Korean people.

Worst thing is NIKE mixed this North Korea issue with BlackLivesMatter as if they were at same level.

I am always troubled with this simplistic view of history like a propaganda.

Chinese soldiers?

Did they mean communist Mao or Kuomintang(KMT) led by Chaing Kai Shek?

Chaing Kai Shek is the guy who got away from his crime, the yellow river flood because he was supported by the US.

[Yellow river flood in 1938]

Chaing ordered to bomb a river 9 month after Nanking battle to block Japanese troops killing 400000-1000000 Chinese civilians with drowning. KMT was still firing Japanese trying to save Chinese people, later KMT said Japan did the flood.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%BB%84%E6%B2%B3%E6%B1%BA%E5%A3%8A%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6

History is more complicated .

There was no single independent country like China back then.

There were

1) Kuomintang(KMT) ,

2) Communist Mao,

3) Manchurianᡳᠯᠠᠨ ᠪᠣᡠ᠋ (Qing Dynasty),

4) Japanese.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchu_people

Japan has been investing Manchu cities before.

The problem is, Manchurians(last emperor) were defeated at Xinhai revolution by Han people. Japan used the last emperor Fugi to keep its interest building a country Manchuko and Fugi used Japan to stay in power.

But anyway,

Who should own Manchu?

Should Manchu be an independent country from the rest of China?

Do you think Communist China have it all?

It was not based on anti-semitism but rather on economic and political strategies.

If any political pressure there, that would be not upsetting Nazi Germany by saving Jewish people.

There are many Japanese folks involved in saving Jews from Nazi, and friendly group photos with Japanese and Jewish people.

This is not about strategy thing, simply a conscience.

Japan was not an evil.

It was a country with different values and ideas from westerns.

Another example, the testimony from African American, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, who wrote the article in Pittsburgh Courier about how he was treated same as white guests by Japanese at hotel in Tokyo.

They allied with Nazi Germany. This is their legacy and can't be swept under the rug. Is this presented in Japanese school textbooks?

You need to go further in depth. Not just the plain history written by victors who don't teach you and "filter" anything inconvenient to their cause of war.

Japan was allied with Germany, but Japan was against antisemitism.

Yousuke Matsuoka, helped Jewish people to move/live in Manchuria under Japanese rule, and promised them Japan would not let Nazi harm Jewish people. He said this is the message from Japanese emperor.

Matsuoka was arrested after a war as a Class A criminal, and after his death he was honored in Yasukuni.

This same stuff over and over,

Koreans sued their own government. Yes, this is what they should. Not blame Japan.

2) Koreans killed Japanese 44 fisher men after WW2

Anyone here who claims labor issue is not over yet or Individuals still hold rights to demand, must explain this issue as well.

After WW2, Koreans under its radical president Rhee admin set a border called "Syngman Rhee Line", and shot Japanese fishing boat there killing 44 people and 3929 were captured, 328 ships were seized. Koreans must pay for this. Nothing was addressed for this crime in Korea.

If Japan must pay for labor, with the same logic Korea must pay for killing Japanese and seized ships.

Posted in: Yasukuni Shrine a symbol of haunting wartime legacy See in context

Boring typical propaganda/ misconception article.

The truth is,

China and Korea didn't have any problem with Yasukuni before 1985. Prior to that, every Jpn minister visited Yasukuni, Then, it all started after Japanese lefty brainwashed and talked China and Korea into being against it.

Tojo??

Tojo was not even in Japanese cabinet when Japan annexed Korea and had the battle with KMT in China .

He has nothing to with China and Korea. The prime minister at that time was Fumimaro Konoe who is not honored in Yasukuni. Tojo is responsible for the pacific war against the US.

Of course, there should be an argument about who should/should not be honored there but that does not mean you can deny the entire shrine, which has been there since 1869 throughout Russia-Japan war and WW1 honoring Koreans, Taiwanese, and animals(military horse/bird/dog), as well.

we are closer to a pandemic because the passengers on the Holland America liner Westerdam were released in Cambodia without quarantine. After more than a hundred passengers boarded airplanes for destinations around the world, it was found that one passenger still in country tested positive for the new virus. If any of those who flew out of Cambodia were contagious, things could get very bad. Maybe we will be lucky, and only the one passenger was infected.

I agree.

1200 passengers on the Holland America liner Westerdam were released so soon in Cambodia.

Is it good?

You think Cambodia does better job than Japan?

No!!

Because they tested only 20 passengers who claim they have fever!

Then, later one of released passengers was found positive. Who knows? 1179=1200-20-1 might be positive as well. Now they are everywhere in Cambodia or other nations infecting people.

I knew that this issue brings confusion to foreigners.

I don't know why the media won't explain more detail the issue.

First, the issue is about whether there should be empress or not.

empress is called "女性天皇" (Jyosei- tennouu)

There have been some empresses in past, so Aiko-sama can be empress.

Second issue is about whether Aiko-sama's childrent, boy or girl can be emperor or empress.

Her children will be called, "女系天皇" (Jyokei - tennouu), meaning female descendant.

This is unprecedented in past, and some people are opposing it.

Why?

They say, if female descendant emperor or empress succeed, there is a chance that Chromosome Y will be lost, and become a complete different DNA unless they conduct DNA test.

I wanted to write URL as reference for viewers, but if I do, JapanToday deletes my post, so I will leave only keywords.

 

1)  The movie of burning Showa emperor and scull photos with gas burner and stepping on its ash.

2)   A strange cave looking object titled “Grave of Stupid Japanese” with messages like “Japan is sick” and Japanese flag with Kamikaze, Tokkoutai,特攻隊,messages on top.

This is a disgrace of those who died for the country. Please learn how second sons decided to fly to enemy ships with one-way fuel.

 

3)   The photo of the current royal family, but their figures are perished and only their shadows remains.

Artist who made this was initially making photos of Showa emperor with his figure gone by modifying it. But this time, the target becomes entire family.

I found this very dangerous sending a wrong message such as assassination threat.

 

The government decided not to give 70 million yen funding.

Now left wing gets angry and claims that this is the censorship like what Nazi regime did back then.

 

I think this is crazy. No one bans these exhibits, but only they thinks this is not appropriate to do this with tax payers money.

1)-------------------------

For more than 50 years since WW2, Korean has no problem with a rising sun. One biggest counter example to anti-rising sun claim is Korean born world wide religion "Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU)" have been using a rising sun looking logo where Korean people LET that happen all the time not being even an issue. It is too late to complain about flag.

2)-------------------------

Rising sun has been a traditional Japanese design since the ancient time. It was used for military in 1877 in Japan, before Japan's annexation of Korea in 1910. It is not same as swastika.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%AD%E6%97%A5%E6%97%97

3) -------------------------

Even if you banned the flag, the problem won't solve.

One after another, in Korea, Japanese stuff is removed, such as trees planed during Japanese colonial rule, a statue of Japanese man power vehicle, the statue of Korean great guy who worked together with Japanese during war.

Even building looking like one from above sky has been an issue.

I mean are they serious??

I would say go to see a doctor. You have a problem not a building.

The above links do not intend to exonerate the Japanese involvement and indictment but to add Koreans to the accused am I right?

No, not adding.. it is a different role.

Comfort woman is all about money, because the amount of money for prostitution Japanese military paid was a lot!, as shown in recruitment advertisement or their bank accounts (before Japan came to Korea, Korean women were not even allowed to have a bank account!) ,

These are types of people involved.

(1) Parents

Poor and needed money 

(2) Their daughters

(3) pimp/ mediator/ local recruiter

(Either Koreans or Japanese )

(4) Japanese military

Story line

Parents(1) sold their daughters to pimp(3), and received a half of money in advance.

Their daughters(2) were foolishly lured into a vehicle with a bait gift like a red beautiful pair of shoes or something(as testimony says) taken to the comfort station .

Japanese military paid a lot of money to pimp(3) and girls start to work.

Here below is an famous official cautionary documents about comfort woman station issued by Japanese military.

It says to be more carefully about recruiters who might have kidnapped girls and getting a trouble with police. Try not to hurt the prestige of Japanese military.

So?

That is a very famous case.

Her father complained to the comfort station and 4 stations were shut down.

But that's the only individual crime done by Japanese officer.

Are you saying if only some individual police officers committed crime, it means ALL ENTIRE officers are criminal?

Hell No!

There was no official Japanese military document issued to order to abduct women against their will.

Have you took statistics class? What you do is just BIAS SAMPLING.

Question is how much that Dutch woman case represents all the entire comfort woman?

Answer me, if you can.
