The following is from the serial column of Masayuki Takayama, who brought the weekly Shincho in last week's issue to a successful conclusion.
Masayuki Takayama is a unique journalist in the post-war world who is constantly publishing articles that masterfully examine the basic 5WIH in journalism, which plays a significant role.
He is the one and only journalist in the post-war world.
He is one of the "national treasures" as defined by Saicho, a supreme national treasure, who continues to protect a corner of journalism and illuminate a thousand miles.
The same is true of his famous friends.
They are also characterized by their ability to fly anywhere in the world for verification.
They are real intellectuals with a mass of empirical spirit, no less than the late Umesao Tadao.
This article is a perfect rebuttal to the attack on Masayuki Takayama, a national treasure, by Aoki Osamu, who is one of the representatives of those who are the opposite of them and who is avenging the nation, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a treasonist.
Aoki Osamu is a man who makes his living by appearing regularly on TBS and TV Asahi programs that are detrimental to the nation and by contributing articles to the Asahi Shimbun and its affiliated weekly magazines.
He is a man with a brain made up of Asahi Shimbun editorials. He is also a man who studied at Yonsei University, the stronghold of anti-Japanese propaganda in Korea.
In other words, he is one of the representatives of the anti-Japanese propaganda in Korea, as are the editorial board members of the Asahi Shimbun and Alexis Dudden, many of whom studied at Yonsei University.
Latrine graffiti
Not long ago, a monthly magazine published a piece titled "Throw Takayama out of the media world.
It was written by Osamu Aoki, known for his work on "Sunday Morning.
I had never met him before.
He said he had the impression that I was writing foolish things for a weekly magazine.
So, why the hostile banning order? He happened to read our column and was so stunned that he felt like puking.
The story he read was about a trip to Koyasan, accompanied by GyoTsutsumi, former editor-in-chief of Bunshun, and Yoshikazu Kitamura, an eccentric professor emeritus at the Aichi University of Education.
Nobuyuki Kaji was graciously set up in the Guide.
He had taught at Koyasan University and was familiar with the area.
He guided us to the inner sanctuary, and that night we took off our traveling sandals at the Sojiin Temple.
It is a historic lodging house in Koyasan.
On the dovetail wall of the parlor hung a thickly written Heart Sutra, written by Tokiko Kato.
During the banquet, the proprietress broke down in tears when she talked about the overflow of foreign visitors to the inn.
Gyo Tsutsumi asked her the reason for her tears.
One day, a group of Chinese stayed at the inn.
It laid out the Futon on the floor where a Go masters tournament had been held, and she entertained the distant guests.
The following day, the proprietress went to the room to clean up and was overwhelmed.
It covered each Futon in human feces, and the walls, sliding doors, and tatami mats were covered with it.
We all lost our voices when the landlady told us the details.
In Endo Homare's "Chars," there is a story about an Eighth Route Army who stayed at her house in Xinjing.
After they left, "the rugs were covered with human feces, the walls were stained, and my sister's zither had been deliberately broken.
Seventy years have passed since then.
China got ODA, technology, and even CO₂ emission rights from Japan at a high price and became more affluent and prosperous.
Pillsbury believed that even Chinese people would become decent when they become wealthy.
The Japanese felt the same way.
However, the reality of Koyasan was the same as it was in the days of the Eighth Route Army.
The great scholars talked about this and that.
The Chinese, whose foreign dynasties have always dominated, run into a terrible ethnic selection.
In Mongolia during the Cultural Revolution and in the Tongzhou Incident, they destroyed women's genitals as a form of ethnic selection.
It is the same reason why they capture Uyghur women and force them to be sterilized.
Their habit of lying regardless of their status is also the same.
Zhou Enlai has been accusing Senkaku, Deng Xiaoping has been playing dumb, and now Xi Jinping says that Senkaku is the core territory of China.
The Japanese media talks only about friendship with China.
The group concluded that this would mislead the people.
In line with this conclusion, I tried to convey the true face of the people that the newspapers do not report.
However, Aoki Osamu's reaction was different.
He suspects that the Chinese people's conduct at the inn is a fabrication without collecting evidence even though he worked for Kyodo News.
If so, he said, it was "extremely unusual.
Is it highly unusual that dozens of pairs of nightclothes are all covered in filth?
What's more surprising is that the column clearly pointed out that "Chinese people" were involved but then rephrased it as "foreign guests" as a meaningless prejudice.
The column then dismissed my point as "racism" and said it was "the same old shit as toilet scribblings slandering a specific ethnic group.
He concluded that it would be "good for Japan" to "get rid of a certain Takayama" because such a column in a leading magazine would "rather undermine Japan.
I am glad that there is still something I can do for Japan, but there is one thing that bothers me here.
There are many China lovers in the world.
Many people have established Japan-China friendship organizations at their own expense.
What will happen if this becomes too much?
Whenever there are words that offend the Chinese, they get angry even more than the Chinese.
He seems to be ready to defeat them on their behalf.
He is a good example.
They talk about friendship.
They talk about friendly relations, saying that there is no such thing as a capability to attack enemy territory.
They are all pleasant to the ears.
But let's look at the "graffiti in the toilet" once in a while.
It's an excellent way to see the truth.
