But the Japanese learned. We have no intention of going ahead to China and Korea anymore.

The following is from Masayuki Takayama's serialized column that marks the end of Weekly Shincho, released yesterday.

A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, who prima ballerinas around the world highly respect, 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 the Asahi Shimbun and others created 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 one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.

It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide.

The emphasis in the text other than the headline is mine.

The Korean Trap
Bill Emmott said that Germany was sorry, but Japan was not sorry at all.　
Willy Brandt, the chancellor of West Germany, went to the site of the Warsaw Ghetto, where 400,000 Jews were killed, and knelt.
This British journalist even cursed, "Yasuo Fukuda should also go to Nanking and bow down."　
Yasuo was so stupid that he might have seriously gone to Nanking.　
But the Nanking Massacre is a fake fabricated by the United States.
Not a single bone was left unturned.
In contrast, the brutal acts committed by Germany in Warsaw are the truth without hiding.　
The Nazis hated, abused, and killed not only Jews but also Slavs, especially Poles.　
When they conquered Poland, they even sent students of junior high school age and above to Germany to work in the factories of Krupp and Wagen.　
The schoolchildren could write their names and count to 500 before being added to the workforce.
The total number reached 1.5 million.　
Despite such atrocities, the German government never apologized or made reparations after the war.　
Japan even compensated the people of the British colonies.
What makes Bill Emmott think that Germany is better than Japan?　
The call to correct German irresponsibility came from Jews living in the United States.　
Lawyer President Bill Clinton moved there.　
The U.S. has the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), which allows a foreigner to sue for a crime committed by a foreigner in a foreign country if the foreigner is engaged in business in the United States.　
It would allow individuals to sue German companies that forced them into forced labor.　
Clinton also introduced him to a good lawyer, Barry Fisher of Los Angeles.　
Thus, many lawsuits were filed against Wergen and other U.S.-based companies seeking compensation for forced labor and other abuses during the war.　
Under the Treaty of Westphalia of the Thirty Years' War, war reparations were to be made by the state, and arbitrary private plunder was forbidden.　
Clinton, however, reinstated private plunder and paved the way for taking money from corporations.　
German Chancellor Schröder condemned the lawsuits that violated the sovereign jurisdiction of other countries, but that did not stop German companies from withdrawing from the U.S. market.　
The German government and companies have contributed $2.5 billion each to the "Future of Memory Responsibility" fund, which has compensated 1.66 million Jews, Poles, and others.
The amount is about 400,000 yen per person.　
Barry Fisher, who made a fortune from this, thought he could get money from the Axis Powers, the Japanese corporations.
That is why the Hayden Act was created.　
If U.S. generals and others the Japanese military had captured sued, they could get 100 trillion yen from Nippon Steel and other companies.　
However, after Clinton left office, the U.S. High Court ruled that the Hayden Act was unconstitutional, and the Japanese companies were spared.　
So, Barry set out to fire up China and South Korea.　
China has been a nation of fraud since Sun Yat-sen.
Soon the Anti-Japanese War History Preservation Federation was on board.　
Somehow they managed to get Yukio Okamoto to pay 2.5 billion yen to Mitsubishi Materials Corporation to compensate for the forced labor of Chinese nationals.　
I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but Okamoto did not understand the situation's gravity.
He is a dumb man.
Barry next flew to Korea.
Starting with South Korea sponging on $500 million by blaming it on "illegal colonial rule," they got as much as they could from the Japanese government, making "Miracle on the Han River."
Now is the time when there is no excuse to sponge on anymore.
The next time they were told they could get a direct deal from a private company, they jumped at the chance.　
The story is simple.
Create a Korean version of the "Remember and Responsible Future" fund by treating all Koreans who went to work in Japan without permission before the war as forced labor.
Let's take Germany as a model and ask Japanese companies to provide about 1 trillion yen.
But thanks in part to former Prime Minister Abe.
The Japanese had long grown tired of "promise-breaking Koreans.　
President Yoon said, "The Korean side will take over the fund.''
South Korea cannot miss a clue to collect from the private sector.
But the Japanese learned.
We have no intention of going ahead to China and Korea anymore.
