Long Hair
2006.12.16 3:24
I started having my hair no cut. My hair has been rather lengthening, that hides the upper one-thirds of ears now. Looks very sweet. I can make a pony tail soon. Japanese samurai used to do it. They shaved the centre part of the head from the necessity of wearing a helmet all the time. That could keep their head dry. Thus long hair has been a sign of independence from authority.

If they are really independent, they ought to have a military. Japan's pacifist constitution declares not to hold any weapons except for pure defence purposes. I think this has been worked well in the process of reconstruction after the war. They could only concentrate on economy. The problem of Japan's having a military is they might start using it for real invasion. America was really afaid of Japan's remilitalising after the war. Therefore America shackled Japan by imposing this article. It might be natural for Japan to dissolve this shackle some day, though, the problem is Japan is not matured enough to have a military yet. This country needs more fundamental change other than military, which involves the change of spiritual structure from the bottom of their heart. Unless doing so, they will follow the similar way again.

In a hundred years from 1821 to 1920, 33.6 million Europeans immigrated to America. Now the birth rate of new born baby is decreasing. This island will be occupied by a very old people who conform.

But they are aware that the integrated power often exceeds the power of each individuals. Then they are apt to get together. The ultimate form of the integrated power is called politically totalitarianism. In the case of a relatively small country like Japan this change occurs in just a few years.

Furthermore the constitution will be changed. The article No.9-2 that declares the abandonment of war will be changed particularly. Japan will be able to hold military. Japan's self defence force will be Japanese Army again.

Aside from my personal view, economic sanctions or other oppressive measures have been imposed on trade items from North Korea. There are 1.5 million Korean descendants who live in Japan, in which some population from North origin have been also persecuted in Japan. But the trade with North Korea has been not so common, North Korean descendants are already very Japanese, so I don't think those measures cause some notable effect.
From military viewpoint, Japan has patriot missile system, this system is meant for defence, missile against an opponent's missile. Besides Japan has Aegis, which can destroy 12 opponent's missiles at the same time. Aegis is equipped in US and Japan only. So even if North Korea declared the ownership of nuclear weapons, that doesn't automatically become an imminent threat to any country.
Japan doesn't hold nuclear weapons, but there are five US military bases in Japan. US military is nuclear equipped. So Japan was kept under the umbrella of nuclear weapons. North Korea was in a hurry to develop nuclear weapons because of this overwhelming US military presence in the region.

The Role Of Nation
There's no racial identity here- almost no national identity
The concept of a nation in Japan became merely clear only after 1868, we might as well consider Japan before that period was a confederation. It's a myth if someone thinks Japan is formed by one people, one language. There were many people who speak so many different languages. But politics made us feel we are united, one people in one nation. In the first place it's just an illusion.
There's still one- your people cooperate. Americans don't. Hardly at all.
Yet I must agree that Japanese people are very submissive to central authority. Americans are not. Americans are independent people who own their own view in many matters. But This is not a sign of discord. This is a sign US has a dynamism as a nation. It's very important. For if one despot appears, all nationals tend to totally agree with him, then sometimes that leads to total devastation as we had before. Japanse people dont think themselves, instead they prefer letting someone think. They just follow.
but does that mean we have to give up the smaller community for the larger one?
Japan's role in international politics has been greatly reducing for recent a couple of years. It seems America, China, UN have been emerging as a practical decision making body in global politics very rapidly. Small community is worth preserving. The aim of politics is to realise the maximum happiness for more people.

The explanation of government is companies have contributed forty to fifty billion dollars extra tax revenue for these several years, therefore it stands to reason they are worthwhile to receive huge tax cuts.
In the first place several years ago when lots of banks were dying holding gigantic non performing bond, millions of public fund, mostly tax from nationals were thrown in. Why the don't say nationals are worthy of receiving huge tax cuts because they made gigantic sacrifice to save lots of banks.
I don't hope these steps are going to be a prelude to the apocalypse from the bottom of Japan's social strata. From the bottom, as such.

Last night I watched the movie The Last Samurai, for the first time. This movie is a fiction, but there's a model for this figure.
He was so fixed in old good days of samurai warrior period. He was chosen to be an Emperor's personal advisor though he refused to give away the sword -the symbol of samurai spirit.
Finally 500 hundred members of his troops were completely devastated by guns.
He was unable to adjust the new circumstances, though he knew that the system he clung to was to fade away. Yet he was unable to surrender to the new system.
I think he represents the spirit of Japanese people right now. They know their system is completely obsolete, but they can't change their way of living, thinking. It is not their fault, though, they ought to yield. It happens regardless of whether they are wrong or not.

Your comment is very analytic as it used to be.
I don't think Japan's participation is required. Japan, South Korea always take sides with the America's view. Although South Korea is slightly more sympathetic since they are same people. Russians have less concern over the area. These three countries might be taken in talks, but it's because they are needed just in order to strike a balance.
For China, on the other hands, the relationship between North Korea and America is important as if it were their internal affairs. But I guess no countries are so serious about this area. North holds the nukes now so war is not likely to occur. Besides there's no conspicuous natural resources like oil in Middle East.

As a writer, I am very aware of the origin of words. Japanese ancient word 'Inishie' is so similar to Latin word 'Initiare'. Both means ' To begin with'
Japanese term for expressing thanks is 'Arigatoh' which is very similar to Latin word ' Obligato'. In English there's an expression 'Much obliged'.
The name in English is 'Namae' in Japanese.
Those are called folk etymology, but they reflect some truth. If these words are common, many people don't have to feel trouble. These words might be common from ancient times.

Now the power of private wealth has been about to exceed the limit of national border. This is based on a system of capitalism.

I smiled at him and said. 'Expression is easy. Because I can come up just too things in my mind, it is hard to 'catch', so soon after I come it up I always take down my ideas.' He passed through, I forgot what I was thinking, but he left me this journal.

Hi, Dhins
Hi, Dhins...
It's Ok, no problem. I was very lonely last night. I met a couple of friends from abroad, now I feel Ok.

When I feel so blocked from any success, it's just fine to watch manga. I can fly over the sky of imagination where I can do anything. This feeling represents the mentality of Japanese. They know they never be No. 1.

Thank you for giving me a beautiful rhyme. And a picture.
Certainly numbers have power. But the interpretation of numbers varies greatly in every nations.

The age of gigantic battleships and big guns were already gone at that time, yet stupid Japanese were making two gigantic battleships. One battleship was used at the end of war. That was her virgin voyage, but it turned to a funeral ship. Only few realised the war in battleship was already obsolete. The very person who devised the operation Pearl Harbour developed the new 97 fighter whose speed was 371km/hr, previously the maximum speed 96 fighter made was 280km/hr. Aircrafts were about to play a main role at war.
I titled the cruelty of war for this article, because I suspect battleships were unnecessary white elephant at the beginning of that war. Simply they saved millions of dollars for the scrap of the battleships.
As to submarines, I didn't know that. From the experience they suffered from Untersee Boot, they might have learned the decisive effect and so kept almost all of them from the attack.

Eight Horns
Chinese Proposal to blend their old traditional medicine with modern western medicine

The effective ingredients of Tamiflu was found from Chinese traditional medicine 'eight horns' -I wrote it before. Chinese people usually don't extract effective ingredients from natural materials, in this case it's a horn. They use it as it is. They grind it and make powder. They take it through mouth.
In the first place they observed the phenomenon of nature closely and learned through empirical rules, probably they might have eyewitnessed that some animal took it and got recovered from the illness, etc.
Western culture take more positive way. They synthesise the chemical material, and try giving it to some animals. When they were able to certify the effectiveness of medicine, finally they conduct a clinical trial. Chinese empirical method will give them a hint which material to research.
