I think Japan's diplomacy is about dealing with its neighbors and personnel states, China and South Korea...I think the time is over when we can be safe as long as we take care of the U.S. and other countries...I once visited Yanagise in Gifu Prefecture...Long, long ago, Kenichi Mikawa sang a local song called "Yanagise Blues" there...Yanagisse was like a shopping district with wide streets...The image of a deserted town with pachinko parlors and brothels...I went into a coffee shop that has been in business for a long time and talked to the master, who told me that Yanagisse used to be so crowded that people would bump into each other...But then, people started going to Nagoya, and Yanagisawa started to decline...Rise and fall, something like that...There was a snack bar in Yanagise, so I went in...There were no other customers, and the woman who answered the door didn't seem to like men...She didn't look like she came to Yanagisze for some reason...She was a Chinese woman...I was told that I had met a precious person...The Chinese woman pronounced herself and her partner as "watashi" and "you"...Chinese are usually pronounced "wada-da" or "anada"...Conversely, "Chinese" is not muddled as "chu-chu"...The woman was an accurate conversational Japanese speaker...But when I spoke difficult Japanese, which was still difficult to understand, she demanded to speak in writing...Kanji characters came from China, so written communication in kanji is also understood...I asked the woman about the past Japanese massacre in Nanking, the human experimentation on Chinese POWs in Unit 731, and the movies aired in China that suddenly made the Ho-Miang army look like demons...The woman explained them to me one by one, but I told her that I had forgotten about them because they were in the past and that they were not a problem for me...What about the Chinese orphans?I heard that at the end of the war, the Chinese raised the little children, who may have been left by the Japanese or left behind...To the Chinese, these children are the children of Japan, which until recently was the enemy...She says that the Chinese raise their little children as a matter of course, something natural, something they don't even think about doing...Hmmm...Korea seems to be getting friendlier to Japan these days...Koreans, when asked which Japanese they hated the most, said Hirobumi Ito...Hirobumi Ito is the one who annexed and colonized Korea...Former Chief Cabinet Secretary Kan once said in Korea that Koreans who assassinated Hirobumi Ito were terrorists...The tourist who assassinated Hirobumi Ito was a hero in Korea...Taro Aso made a statement in Korea as if it was fortunate that the Korean War occurred during Japan's period of rapid economic growth...It is true that a war-time military economy contributes to economic development...But war is an act in which people die...I don't think it is human to think that people were lucky to die, even if it was in another country...But in modern Korea, such past is forgotten and they want good relations for the future...The comfort women statue will be removed in time...Now, what about Japan...Japan was torn apart by the war and is desperate not to forget its tragic past...It was the U.S. that put them in that miserable situation, and yet they are still wagging their tails...And they are still wagging their tails, saying that it was Japan that was at fault...Why don't you forget about it...The Chinese woman mentioned above, when asked about China's invasion of Japan's territorial waters...She said that China is also invading the territorial waters of various countries...Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, North Korea...I asked him if North Korea has friendly relations with China...But they still invade our territorial waters...It seems that if you have a country, it is natural for it to invade your territorial waters...Japan makes a big fuss over a territorial violation... as if it were a national crisis...When I said to the Chinese woman, "Chinese people are 'adults' aren't they?She said, "I wonder if that's true..."She seemed to want to become a naturalized Japanese citizen...She was also the woman I wanted to marry...I refrained...I left it to someone Japanese man to marry her...
