Hideki Tojo rests in Migane, Aichi Prefecture
The photo I posted is of the Mausoleum of the Seven Martyrs of Japan, located on Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture. It enshrines seven soldiers and politicians who were executed by the Tokyo Tribunal.
Those enshrined are Hideki Tojo, Kenji Doihara, Seishiro Itagaki, Hyotaro Kimura, Iwane Matsui, Akira Muto, and Hiroki Hirota. The remains of these seven people are said to be buried under this mausoleum. In other words, the graves of Hideki Tojo and others are located here.
What are China and South Korea demanding
So what exactly are China and South Korea saying? They say that the Prime Minister should not go to Yasukuni Shrine because war criminals are enshrined there. The German Chancellor is loudly shouting that he will visit Hitler's grave.
All the graves are in different places
As mentioned above, the grave is in a different location. A shrine is a shrine. It is said that there are over ２,４６６,０００ heroic spirits enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, and each of their graves was probably erected by their local community or family members.
I wonder if the Japanese Prime Minister went to visit the Mausoleum of the Seven Martyrs of Japan in Aichi Prefecture .
A shrine is not a grave
A shrine only has a divine seat, which is said to be the place where the god appears and sits. A shrine is not a grave. It is essentially impossible to separate the divine throne. If there is a division, it is a branch shrine.
Read it together
The Greater East Asia War and the spirit of Kazuu Hakko have been erased from history Did Japan just invade?
Greater East Asia War erased from history
Kazuu Hakko is the spirit of world peace
Kazuu Hakko disappeared
Japanese who saved Jews
A time when ethnic discrimination was common
World War II included the European War, the Greater East Asia War, and the Pacific War. GHQ banned the official use of the words Greater East Asia War and Hakko Ichiu.
In Europe, Nazi Germany invaded, and the Pacific War was a war between Japan and the United States, but what happened in Asia has been omitted. There are also stories of the Sino-Japanese War, the Manchurian Incident, and the enslavement of the Korean Peninsula, which never happened.
Hakko Ichiu is the spirit advocated by Japan during the Greater East Asia War, and although it is a worldview centered on the Emperor that is a departure from current values, the essence is a world in which the world respects each other without discrimination of ethnic groups. It means to make.
This was the idea of Greater East Asia in confronting Western colonies. GHQ has historically erased the truth underlying these words and ideas. The intention is clear, Japan's war is simply a war of aggression, and the story is that America stopped it.
Hitoshi Imamura, who fought for the liberation of Indonesia, rejected the coercive policy theory as clearly going against the spirit of Kazuu Hakko, and did not change his conciliatory policy.
Kiichiro Higuchi, who rescued Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, also carried out his duties based on the spirit of Kazuu Hakko. The assimilation policy on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan is based on Kazuu Hakko's idea that once people become part of the same nation, they will be treated as people without distinction.
It is difficult to say whether Kazuu Hakko's spirit is correct in modern times from the perspective of people's right to self-determination, but the world at that time was full of ethnic discrimination, and the world economy was built on this premise, and the dominant ethnic group was divided into It was a time when people were divided into dominant ethnic groups.
Although there is no such thing as a good war, Japan at the time did not invade Asia just to plunder it. Think about why it was removed from history.
I think of Yasukuni Shrine as a graveyard
China and South Korea demand that the Yasukuni Shrine be separated for war criminals, but this is probably also the idea of graves. The remains of the heroes are not buried anywhere in Yasukuni Shrine. They mistakenly think it's some sort of mass grave.
South Korea, a country that digs up graves
In South Korea, the grave of a Korean War hero buried in South Korea's national cemetery was recently dug up because he had served in the former Japanese army. From Japan's perspective, it is a country with a culture that is extremely abnormal. In the first place, shrines are not graves, and that is also the extent of our understanding of graves.
Yasukuni Shrine throughout Japan
In conclusion, if Yasukuni Shrine is enshrined in two parts, there will be two Yasukuni Shrines, and if it is enshrined in ten parts, there will only be ten Yasukuni Shrines. It might be a good idea to have Yasukuni Shrines all over Japan. It may be a talisman to keep people who flirt with you away from Japan.

Japanese cuisine that brings out the taste of ingredients.Japanese unique evolution without spices.
Japanese food is said to be unique.Japanese food uses very little spice.The West colonized Asia for spices.In Western cuisine, pepper is a magic powder used to eliminate the smell of meat, and pepper is indispensable for preserved meat such as pancetta.It is said that Japan did not have access to spices because it was closed to the country at that time, but since the Meiji Restoration, there have been no dishes that use a lot of spices.South Korean food is rich in chili peppers, which came from Japan when Hideyoshi went to Korea.Soy sauce comes from China.The distinctive difference between Chinese and Japanese cuisine is that Chinese cuisine uses a lot of oil, but the Japanese don't like it.As a result, it led to the longevity of the Japanese.
The basis of Japanese cuisine is soup stock.In Japan, umami ingredients derived from seafood are historically used.Glutamic acid, the ingredient of Ajinomoto, was discovered by a Japanese, Ikeda Kikunae, and is said to have made world cuisine delicious.Glutamic acid is one of the delicious ingredients, which is also derived from the exploration of the taste and ingredients contained in Japanese ingredients.
In 1907, Ikeda Kikunae succeeded in extracting sodium L-glutamate from kelp.
In the West, the concept of soup stock includes French cuisine using consomme soup.In Italy, fish and shellfish are boiled down or fried as toppings, so you can get soup stock as a result.Boil down the ingredients in soup and you'll get the soup stock.The world-famous soups are Borscht and Tom Yum Kung.
Many foreigners say that Japanese sushi is delicious because it is fresh, but that's not the case.At high-end sushi restaurants, tuna is matured with the restaurant's technology for a reasonable period of time and sushi is made with ingredients that bring out sufficient flavor.Since there were no spices in Japan, it is the present state by pursuing technology and harmony that fully brings out the taste of the ingredients.This is one of the unique dishes in the world.
Japanese food has developed into its own style because spices did not enter Japan during the long period of isolation.
What do teachers who refuse to sing the national anthem teach children? Kimigayo is the very essence of Japanese culture that has been passed down since ancient times. ``Kimigayo'' is a tanka poem that appears in the Kokin Wakashu. In the Kokin Wakashu, it begins with ``Waga Kimi wa.'' It was put to music during the Meiji period, and officially became Japan's national anthem in 1999, when the ``Law Concerning the National Flag and Anthem'' was enacted. Until then, it had been handed down from ancient times in Japan.
Does it matter for whom Kimigayo was composed? The main idea is to pray for the eternal prosperity of the other person's life, family, and descendants, and it is important that the concept of eternity is expressed as ``until the rocks turn into rocks and become covered with moss.'' It is included in the anthology of ancient and modern waka poems because its outstanding expressiveness moved people, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. If you were not familiar with the poems in the Heian period, it is clear that they had been written and loved long before that.
It was composed at various celebratory occasions, and it no longer matters who the author wrote it for. Since the Meiji era, songs have been written about You as the Emperor, and if you value His Majesty the Emperor, who is also a symbol of the Meiji Restoration, it is no wonder that people sing it like that.
If this song exists to help us imagine and pass on the spirituality of the ancient Japanese people when they prayed for the happiness of others, what on earth should Japanese educators teach? I wonder if it is.
What is the origin of the name Zero Fighter? The concept of imperial history was eliminated and it was excluded from school education.
Zero is the best fighter plane in the world
Zero Fighter adopted in 2600 of the Imperial Era
Where did the concept of imperial history disappear?
The concept of Japanese imperial history
Lost Imperial Era
The imperial period is the very history of Japan
The world's best fighter plane, the former Japanese military's pride, is the Zero Fighter. The Zero fighter is a carrier-based fighter that was adopted by the Japanese Navy in 1940. The aircraft boasted the world's lightest weight, and above all, the pilot's proficiency is said to have been at the highest level at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The number 0 in Zero Fighter comes from the last two digits of 00 in the year 2600 of the Imperial era. This is a surprisingly unknown fact. In history classes at school, we learn about kamikaze attacks and the Zero Fighter, but I don't remember ever hearing the concept of the imperial era.I wonder what that means.
In fact, many Japanese people don't even know the concept of the imperial period. If that's the case, there's no reason why the 0 in Zero Fighter has any meaning. It's very strange. The Koki is Japan's unique calendar that starts from the year in which the first emperor, Emperor Jimmu, ascended the throne.
This year is the 2682nd year of the Imperial Era, so it is simple and clear that it has been 82 years since the Type 0 fighter was adopted. That would be 2682 years after Japan worshiped the Emperor and demonstrated its national polity. This shows the number of years that Japan is considered to be the longest-lasting country in the world.
It's a mystery why they stopped using the concept of imperial history at all. When I looked into it, I found that there was no scientific basis for it, such as whether Emperor Jinmu actually existed, or whether February 11th (Koki New Year) was really the founding day of Japan.
And it seems that due to GHQ's wishes, the National Foundation Day itself has been abolished. So what exactly is Western history based on the birth of Jesus Christ?
Japan is the longest-lasting nation in world history. Its history and culture have been formed within the framework of the nation that has been inherited. The most straightforward time scale for Japan's long history and culture can be said to be the imperial period.
Although the concept of era name remains, there is no concept of imperial period. This is not to say that history textbooks and all Western calendar notations should be replaced with the Imperial Period. At the very least, we should recognize that Japan's history is long and that Japanese children were born into it, and that we have some role to play in inheriting it, and that we should be proud of it. The revival of is important.
Continent - derived "surnames" and historical background in Japan - History that disappears when two eras are confused.
There are people who look only at his name and reason that he is of Peninsular descent. Typically, clans with names such as Kaneko are said to be of peninsula descent, but this is correct and not correct.
Takano Shingasa, a descendant of the Baekje royal family, was the mother of Emperor Kanmu during the era when many Baekje people fled to Japan after losing the Battle of Hakusonko. The Taira clan descended from Emperor Kanmu and called themselves Taira, and the Kaneko clan is said to descend from the Kanmu Taira clan. If that is the case, then if Mr. Kaneko is from the peninsula, then is the current Emperor also a peninsula citizen?
In other words, it is necessary to know that in order to construct such ridiculous logic, the people of the peninsula have taken up this story many times and made it known to the Japanese people. They enjoy using exclusionary and anti-Korean sentiments to attack everyone on the peninsula. They consider people who have come to Japan to be nothing more than traitors.
This means that Japan accepted a large number of refugees in the latter half of the 7th century. These people have been assimilated into Japan for over a thousand years and have established families, so they do not have Peninsular surnames but Japanese surnames. If we go back to the Jomon period, many immigrants had already immigrated to Japan, and some of the words became ingrained in the Japanese language.
This is a completely different issue, as the Kim surname, which means "zainichi" and was given as a Korean name by people on the peninsula who came to Japan to work during the Japanese colonial period, is a completely different issue, and it is a story from at least 1910 after the annexation. . This is Kim as a Korean surname. Zainichi does not naturalize and his nationality is Peninsular.
Koreans say they were robbed of their names during the Japanese occupation, but they had to apply. In fact, when people went to work in Manchuria, the people of the peninsula, who were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, wanted Japanese names because they would be bullied or because it would be easier to do business. In this case, they wanted a Japanese surname rather than a Korean surname, so in many cases they had a common surname that was no different from a Japanese surname.
Have tattoos been common among Japanese people since ancient times? When did the current tattoo culture disappear? fashion?
You may hear people say that Japan does not have a culture of tattooing, but tattooing is actually an ancient Japanese culture. In Gishi Wajinden, it is written that Wa people liked tattoos, and both men and women had tattoos on their faces and all over their bodies. People in China and the peninsula don't have tattoos. It is said that these things are not done due to Confucianism. This is not a recommendation. People who don't want to don't have to.
Many cultures were introduced to Japan from southern China, and there were people living in what is now Southeast Asia in the southern part. The method of preserving fish in vinegared rice, which is the origin of sushi, is said to have come from Southeast Asia, where tattoos are common. Sake is said to have originated from southern China's Shaoxing wine, which was originally made from sake-brewing technology that was brought to Japan. Northern China has a field farming culture, and southern China has a rice farming culture.
Tattoos began to be banned in Japan due to the influence of Confucianism. Even so, Toyama Kinshiro Kagemoto of Toyama Kin-san had a tattoo. Even judges had tattoos back then. It is said that tattoos were completely banned after the Meiji Restoration. The reason is for westernization. Even in the West, some people got tattoos, but they were only one-point tattoos, and they were not tattoos that covered the entire body like in Japan at the time. Amid these regulations, Japan's tattoo culture was inherited by the world of chivalry.
Due to this background, tattoos came to be considered anti-social forces. This is now called Japanese culture. Furthermore, in Japan, the anti-organized crime law was enacted in 1992, placing significant restrictions on the activities of anti-social forces in general society, and these groups are currently on the decline, with public baths now being sought after in the city. You no longer see people who were once members of organized crime groups.
Young people in Japan now have tattoos as a fashion item. In other words, they seem to be trying to create their own individuality by drawing something on their bodies, just like the Japanese of old. The pattern is a so-called tattoo that looks good on clothes. Tourists coming from foreign countries are told that if they have a tattoo, they won't be able to go to the traditional Japanese hot springs that they were looking forward to, so they wrap them in some kind of cloth to hide it, but they are told that the cloth is also bad. It seems that there are cases where the application is refused. On the contrary, it is said that young Japanese people with tattoos cannot go to hot springs, which is a part of Japanese culture.
You may be wondering what I'm trying to say, but Japanese people need to protect the culture of public baths, which is unique to Japan, in a healthy manner. Nowadays, it seems that men who are women at heart are thinking about how to bathe women.
