孤愁の岸

 There is a story called "Koshu no Kishi". 


It is a story based on a true story that even those of us who live in Japan do not know much about. 


The story is based on a true story that even those of us who live in Japan don't know much about. You can't read the story without crying about Yukie Hirata, a Satsuma clan member (Kagoshima) who was very brave and had a reasonable way of life. 


Satsuma is well known as the birthplace of Takamori Saigo.

Satsuma is a cultural area full of earthy and muddy manliness, different from the samurai of Edo. 


To summarize the story, Satsuma is contracted to flood the Kiso San River (Tokai region), far away from Satsuma. 


However, there were a lot of difficulties involved.

There were problems with manpower, the environment, and deadlines.

Everyone worked hard, but they were swept away by storms and rivers, buried in sand and soil, and nearly 200 people died. 


They also had to raise money, and Hirata, who I mentioned earlier, was the one who thought it over and did it. 


The wonderful thing about Hirata is that he took the responsibility that everyone else wanted to run away from, and he took it upon himself to do it.

The first time I heard about this story was when I was going to perform a play in Kagoshima.

I was shaken to the core and wondered why such a wonderful true story was not covered. 


I've only written about it briefly today, but I hope everyone will look for it.

Christmas will soon be here, and I would like to know how everyone around the world is celebrating. 


I'd love to hear about it. 


Yes, the day before Christmas, December 23, is the day of the Ako Roshi's raid.

I'll write more when I can.

LGBT?

 We live in an age where we can learn a lot about the world online. We should be able to understand that cultures, values, and many other things are different, and even that our concept of normal is only around us. However, I am painfully aware that there are becoming more and more events that apply only to what is convenient for them. These include war, religion, immigration, and discrimination against women under the guise of genderlessness. Even in Japan, there are many things that I find strange. Assumption, The premise is that everyone forgets that even if you are good at something, the other person may not be so good at it. In Japan, the sentences for sex crimes are very light. What we also see is the low level of women's rights. There are countless adult contents in Japan, even in the anime genre. These can be seen in anime characters that have become hits around the world. The sheer number of characters with abnormally emphasized breasts is obvious. When you are exposed to ...

Congratulations, President Trump. And I salute all my dear friends abroad who are trying to protect Japan. Japanese politics and judiciary are no longer collapsing. Serious and honest people continue to be exploited, and the economy is so tight that Japanese people cannot even get married. Taxes are too high on everything. The more you earn, the more you are taxed. On the other hand, there are many people who are not in the workforce and cannot become full-time employees. The number of children's school lunches has been reduced, and the elderly are forced to work part-time. It would be acceptable if the taxes collected were used to enrich our lives, but they are not, and despite record tax revenues, Japanese politicians and the Keidanren are still plotting to raise taxes. The very people who are supposed to be setting up a production system that reflects the nation are doing the exact opposite. And there is no current to stop them, or if there is, it is too weak and is swept away b...

Why

 Where Japan is heading is very frightening! Japan's constitution states that the people run the country. For this reason, power has been decentralised and various decisions have been made under the name of separation of powers. What about nowadays? Every day, people who do not do what is their duty to the people are evading their responsibility, making no apologies and deciding national policy on their own. On New Year's Day this year, an event occurred that instantly wiped out the festive atmosphere. The earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture. The situation is still devastating and reconstruction has not yet taken place at all. There is not enough food and water supply. It has been six months since the houses collapsed. And yet, the quiet people of the country are finally beginning to look askance at a country that only gives aid money abroad. I think we have paid the price for believing that politicians were there to improve the country. Politicians are hereditary, and their powe...
