The controversy shows how the role of Japan's emperor remains a sensitive issue, nearly 70 years after Akihito's father, Emperor Hirohito, renounced his divinity following Japan's defeat in World War II and became a symbol of the state.
Many conservatives still consider the emperor and his family divine ("the people above the clouds") and believe a commoner shouldn't even talk to him. Decades ago, commoners were not even allowed to directly look at the emperor, but today Akihito does meet with ordinary people, including those in disaster-hit areas in northern Japan.
A few people, including commentators and Yamamoto's sympathizers, liken him to Shozo Tanaka, a lawmaker seen as a hero for his 1901 appeal to Emperor Meiji, Akihito's great-grandfather, over copper mine pollution. Tanaka quit as lawmaker and divorced his wife beforehand to keep her out of trouble. He was detained but quickly freed.
Perhaps all involved should prepare for a longer, rather than shorter, freeze in Korea-Japan relations.

One survivor I met last month in New Orleans, Clemmie Greenlee, had her life taken over by a pimp at age 12. She said she spent years having sex with up to 50 men a day. On average, she was beaten 10 times a month, for not meeting her daily quota or other offenses.
Why didn’t she run away? Because, she says, of a mix of fear, Stockholm syndrome, emotional manipulation by pimps, hopelessness fueled by drug addiction and distrust of the authorities.
Eventually, Greenlee was able to escape that life, and she now runs a residential program called Eden House to help other women start over. An African-American, she says that what trafficked women endure is absolutely an echo of what her ancestors endured on plantations.

FUKUOKA CITY AIMS TO HALT STRAY ANIMAL EUTHANASIA ::: Fukuoka Mayor Soichiro Takashima announced Nov. 4 that Fukuoka is progressing towards a day when no cats or dogs will be euthanized in the city. At an animal protection festival held in front of Fukuoka City Hall on Monday Mayor Takashima told assembled reporters, "We now enter the final stage in moving toward zero euthanasia. However, even if Fukuoka City said it would not put animals to sleep, it would be meaningless if that led to an increase in requests for animal euthanasia in surrounding municipalities.” It is unusual for...
