Why don't they auction the pens? montblanc can say we want the ¥87 it cost to make them plus ¥100,000 per pen for our efforts. The remainder goes to the city for rebuilding. Auctioning may get a lot more money involved.

Free speech is free speech. There's no half free speech. Either allow it or remove it. There will be complaints either way. That's why all governments are on a hiding to nothing.

Oh this is outrageous ... I imagine all those Iraq and Syrian kids living under ISIS rule thinking what horrible place Japan must be to live. keeping suspected criminals in jail for long enough to be sure if they are guilty. Allowing freedom of speech(freedom of speech is freedom of speech regardless if it's discriminatory). Not apologising every single day for war crimes committed by a previous generation. And the death penalty for criminals. I bet they're hanging every Parking offender and petty criminal all over Japan every day. not part of the report but it's the soap and water comment that tops the cake. What sort of country would deny murderers and rapists a wash for a few days.. Absolutely outrageous..

Will this guy be hung? In Australia they just get locked up.
