A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, greatly respected by prima ballerinas around the world, visited Japan.
She spoke at that time about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, many of those who call themselves artists, such as Oe, Murakami, and Hirano, do not even deserve the artist's name.
They have only expressed the lies created by the Asahi Shimbun and others rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, only a minimal number of actual artists exist.
This paper also keenly proves that I am right when I say that no other person in the world today is more deserving of the Nobel Prize in Literature than Masayuki Takayama.
Different Color Twins
It has been quite a while since Putin invaded Ukraine.
Initially, I thought Kiev would fall within a week, so I was very much off the mark.
The number of Russian military deaths is said to have already exceeded 20,000.
When this country was a more crippled communist state, they invaded Afghanistan.
They still stumbled, and only the death toll increased and when it exceeded 15,000, the "Soldier's Mother" stood up.
The mothers went to Gorbachev and forced him to decide to withdraw from Afghanistan.
And then, by the way, the Soviet Union's backbone collapsed.
Now that the numbers have crossed the line, Putin has reluctantly met with the Soldiers' Mothers.
But Putin continued to play innocent by mystifying things like "Everyone dies."
But the city was filled with a pessimistic mood, and the soldiers had disappeared.
So a convicted felon in prison was sent out.
It must have promised something like, "If you kill your enemies on the battlefield, I will send you to Sahā.''
Kaji Nobuyuki wrote in Sankei Shimbun, "In China, they have been using criminal units since the time of the Qin Dynasty.
When a rebellion broke out after the death of Shi Huangdi, "the Shiji (the oldest chronicle of Chinese history) says that they pardoned felons, gave them weapons, and defeated the rebel army.
However, sinners have no sense of loyalty.
They'll run away if there's a chance, so be sure to have "Barrier troops attached."
In China, Barrier troops are also attached to ordinary troops.
In the Battle of Nanjing, when the Chinese soldiers inside the castle fled to the opposite side of the city toward the Yugangmen Gate while the Japanese forces were closing in, the military history book says, "Barrier troops were waiting at the top of the city wall and opened fire, creating a heap of corpses.
In the Korean War, the remnants of the Nationalist army that failed to flee to Taiwan were sent out by Mao Tse-tung, who was intimidated by the Barrier troops and forced to use that human resources tactic.
The same is true of Russia.
Stalin issued a decree of the People's Commissariat to "not take a step backward" in the war against Germany, placed 200 Barrier troops in each unit, and had them shoot to death any soldier who escaped.
Both China and Russia do the same thing with prisoners and barrier troops, even though they do not show it to each other.
Amazingly, they kill their soldiers with more passion than the enemy army.
There are other similarities as well.
A TV report said, "Russian soldiers who entered Ukraine killed civilians and looted houses, but after staying there temporarily, they always defecated on the beds they slept on.
It reminded me of Ms. Endo Homare's "Clamp" (卡子).
A platoon of the Eighth Route Army came to her house in Changchun and stayed overnight.
The following day, after they left, her family went to the sitting room and found the same number of stools on the silk damask bedding as there were in the platoon.
Several years ago, when we walked around Mt. Koya with Dr. Kaji as our guide, we heard a story from the hostess of a lodge about a group of Chinese visitors.
After they left, "We went to our room and fainted," she said.
Everyone had urinated on all the bedding, just like in a "Clamp" (卡子).
They were also rubbing it on the walls and sliding doors.
The inn was a historic inn that had been the site of a Go master's tournament.
The inn burned all the bedding, replaced the sliding doors and tatami mats, and painted the walls.
The inn has since refused to accept any Shina people.
Both of these actions were taken naturally by modern-day Chinese and Russians, but there are still similarities.
Ivan the Terrible suspected a conspiracy in the commercial city of Novgorod.
He sent an advance party to close the city gates.
He then seized the entire city, took the clergy and nobility, and executed them, making it impossible for the citizens to escape.
It tied up women and children and threw them into a pond in Severe Winter. Three thousand people were killed.
Meanwhile, Chiang Kai-shek provoked Japan at the Marco Polo Bridge to draw Japan into the war.
When the Japanese forces refused to go along, they next attacked Tongzhou.
They searched Japanese residents' houses one by one, extracted their householders, raped them, and killed them.
Two hundred and fifty people were killed.
At this time, the Chinese first closed the gates of Tongzhou to prevent the Japanese from escaping and then attacked them.
The Chinese and Russians had different facial features and skin colors.
But what they do is just like twins.
The Russians are currently overrunning Ukraine, which has no nuclear weapons.
On the other hand, the Shina people have Japan, which is obsessed with non-nuclear weapons.
Who can say that atrocious China will not attack us?
