New Year's Reading: "The Emperor's National History
The winter solstice has passed, and the New Year is approaching.
What kind of a new year it will depend on us, the Japanese people.
The turmoil in world affairs is tormenting every country.
Japan is not the only country to be under the thumb of the Wuhan virus.
On the other hand, China, the country that spread the virus, seems to have benefited the most from its quick economic recovery.
However, they have been exposed by the international community in the wake of the Wuhan virus.
Taking advantage of the world turmoil, they pretend that China is good medical power, but on the other hand, they oppress, control, and silence Hong Kong people and Uyghurs.
The virus has revealed their ugly lies one after another.
And there are no more friends of China in the major countries of the international community.
China's friends in the international community are gone.
The net of heaven is vast and seemingly coarse, but it will not let evildoers slip through the net. If you do evil, you will be caught and punished by the heavens.
In 2021, the standoff between the United States and China is likely to become more severe than ever.
China is sure to use Sun Tzu's Art of War and develop new tactics, one after another, based on its grand strategy to become the world's dominant power.
Japan must prevent China's offensive and show the United States, both mentally and physically, that an alliance with Japan would much value the United States.
To this end, Japan must show its true colors.
Japan has nurtured a peaceful civilization for thousands of years.
It has practiced the philosophies of equality of all peoples in the natural world since time immemorial.
At the center of this has been the Emperor.
If you understand the Emperor's existence, it is better to recall the Kyoto Imperial Palace rather than the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
After the bloodless siege of Edo Castle in the Meiji Restoration, Emperor Meiji moved to Tokyo, but before that, he was in the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Unlike the Edo Castle, the Kyoto Imperial Palace did not have a moat to protect it from enemy attacks.
Instead of sturdy walls, there were only walls made of cylindrical mud.
Thieves could break-in at any time if they wanted to.
But in the long history of Japan, such a lawless thing has never happened.
A country like this must be scarce in the world.
This gentle relationship between the Emperor and the people maybe because the Emperor has always prayed for the people and the nation, and the people have also had respect for the Emperor and the imperial family.
