The following is from Masayuki Takayama's column in the latter section of today's Shukan Shincho.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
This article also proves that no one else deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature or Peace except him.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide.
Korean Justice
When the Soviet Union invaded, the Chinese and Koreans were convinced of Japan's defeat.
Four Korean policemen entered the house of 11-year-old Yoko, who lived in Ranam, on the northern edge of Korea, and took away her mother's silver-rimmed glasses and Yoko's paperweight.
If she stayed, she would be killed.
Her mother left Ranam to return to Japan with Yoko and her sister.
However, unimaginable troubles followed.
The Korean stationmaster at Ranam station refused to let the Japanese get on the train as if it was his job to keep them from escaping.
They finally boarded a freight car, but before they could get settled, U.S. military planes bombed the train.
The three people spent the night trying to reach Gyeongseong (Seoul), 70 kilometers away.
The Koreans blocked their way.
They took their belongings and were about to rape the three when the U.S. planes flew in.
His mother and sister quickly ducked for cover.
The bomb exploded, killing the Koreans and leaving Yoko with only minor injuries.
There was another Japanese who was also evacuated.
When Yoko's brother, Hideyo, was about to run after them, they heard the sound of gunfire.
Sensing danger, they ran up the slope and took cover.
Several Koreans were shooting and killing Japanese people right in front of their eyes.
Koreans stripped the dead of their clothes, spread out their belongings, and fished out their valuables.
Some pried open the mouths of the dead and pulled out their gold teeth.
Even in Gyeongseong, where they arrived, it was not safe.
Japanese women were kidnapped, raped, and beaten to pieces during the daytime.
Japanese women were kidnapped in broad daylight, raped, and left in rags.
The mother and child fled from Seoul to Busan and somehow returned to Hakata within the same year.
The hardships continued, but Yoko eventually married an American and moved to the U.S., where she published "Bamboo Grove Far Away," an account of this experience.
It caught the attention of the Boston Public Library, and in 1998, it was placed on the school's recommended reading list.
The book was used as a teaching tool in classes.
In 2007, however, a Korean student at a private school in the city, Ho Bo-eun, boycotted the class, saying, "Korean people cannot be that cruel.
The Chosun Ilbo in his home country reported it extensively.
Youko wrote the truth.
At the Futsukaichi Sanatorium near the Port of Hakata, where these women stepped on the soil of their homeland, abortion surgeries were performed daily on women who had been raped and became pregnant on the Korean Peninsula.
The results of interviews with 47 people who underwent surgery at the sanatorium in June 1946 remain.
Twenty-eight of the rapists were Koreans, followed by eight Russians, six Chinese, and three Americans.
They are all despicable countries.
Ho says, "Koreans are not brutal.
Then, read Arson Grebst's "Tragic Korea."
He describes the cruel punishment of Churi, in which every bone in the body is broken before killing, and the people who enjoy it.
Theodore Roosevelt gave up on the irresponsible and corrupt Joseon, which "cannot even be called a nation," closed all U.S. diplomatic missions, and "let your kind neighbors take care of the rest," and even forced Joseon on Japan.
The Korean media, however, did not look at this history and began to make a big fuss about it.
Finally, Koreans in the U.S. called Yoko Kawashima and held a public rally to hang her under the guise of "asking the author" or something.
The venue was packed with angry Koreans living in the U.S., correspondents of Korean newspapers, and even a Korean consul.
The title of the rally started with "There is no bamboo in Korea" and then went on to address minor discrepancies.
The essential facts of the massacres and rapes against the Japanese on the peninsula were not even investigated.
The rally ended with an apology to Yoko.
The victorious Koreans stormed the Boston school board and demanded that Yoko's work be removed from the recommended reading list.
During the uproar, not a single Japanese correspondent, of whom there are plenty, showed up.
Neither did the Consulate General of Boston.
They must have seen it as "Ms. Yoko's problem."
The Asahi Shimbun, which usually says "face up to history," does not even try to say the same thing to the Koreans.
The Japanese have few words in the international community.
Frederick Williams, author of "The Inside Story of China's War Propaganda," wrote: "The Japanese are bad propagandists. They are silent in the face of counterattacks," he points out.
Let's say it out loud.
"Shut up, you liars. You liars."
