Beautiful Oscar in men's clothes
The Rose of Versailles is a manga that was serialized from １９７２ to １９７３. It was adapted into a stage play by the Takarazuka Revue Company and became a big hit, attracting attention and being made into an anime. The story takes place on the eve of the French Revolution. The main character, Oscar, is a woman, and as a beautiful woman dressed as a man, she is beautiful and strong, and is as good as any man. She later serves as the commander of Marie Antoinette's bodyguard when she is executed.
A fictional story that doesn't exist
This is a work that frankly depicts his relationship with Andre, a man who is in love with Oscar, and his personal and romantic relationship with Marie Antoinette, who is protected by Oscar. What is surprising is that the main characters Oscar and Andre in the worldview of this magnificent work do not actually exist.
The Rose of Versailles became very popular in Europe
As you know, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were publicly executed by guillotine during the French Revolution. In other words, this work depicts the French royal family, who were the enemy of the people at the time. The animated work has been broadcast in Europe and is extremely popular. Of course, it was also very popular in France.
This work was created by Japan, an island nation in the East that has little cultural or historical contact with the West. On the other hand, if a Westerner created a work depicting the Edo period, would it be appealing to Japanese people?
The royal family that existed as an axis of opposition to democracy
The French Revolution was a major event that transformed France into democracy, and had the energy to change world history. In that sense, the French royal family at the time could be said to be war criminals in World War II and Hitler in Germany.
Japanese culture focuses on the enemy
Steven Spielberg's ``Schindler's List'' is a work that depicts the human condition from the perspective of Hitler and the Nazis. In other words, The Rose of Versailles can be said to be a magnificent piece of work that shines a spotlight on what is considered evil in history.
Former President Moon Jae-in says South Korea started the French Revolution
Why don't the Korean people, who have the highest human rights consciousness in the world, condemn works such as Schindler's List and The Rose of Versailles? The Korean people who are familiar with the Nazis and Jews should be educating the people of the world. Former President Moon Jae-in told former President Macron that ``Korea started the French Revolution'' regarding the impeachment of Park Geun-hye.

Japanese industrial machinery Most Korean manufacturing industrial machinery is made in Japan.Industrial robots are called the world's Big Four: FANUC (Japan), Yasukawa Electric (Japan), KUKA (Germany), and ABB (Switzerland).Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Japan) and Fujikoshi (Japan) are included in the top six.Of course, modern products are made by machines.Machines are also needed to make machines.
Osaka and the Meiji Restoration - Koan Ogata's Tekijuku, the roots of Osaka University where Yukichi Fukuzawa also attended, still exists in Osaka.
When I researched Osaka and the end of the Edo period, I discovered that there was a school called Tekijuku, which was founded by Koan Ogata to study Dutch studies. It seems to have roots in Osaka University. Japan at the time was isolated from the rest of the world, trading with the Netherlands through Nagasaki, and receiving academic information from the Netherlands about the world. This was called Dutch studies. Koan Ogata is said to be the father of modern medicine in Japan, and even appears in the popular drama ``JIN.'' Yukichi Fukuzawa also entered Tekijuku in Osaka at the age of 20 to study Dutch studies.
Keio University appears to be based on the former Dutch Studies School. In Japan, learning was carried out in small cram schools and terakoya like this one. They were not in the position of teacher and student in the current educational system, but rather had a close relationship between teacher and student. Learning flowed from the source to the disciples, and had the energy to directly change the country and society.
Seoul National University was formerly an imperial university and was established in 1924 as Gyeongseong Imperial University. It is said that Japan brought modern learning to the Korean peninsula, but what is the true story? In other words, there was no teacher-disciple relationship that aimed to enrich the Korean peninsula.
I have heard that Seoul National University is the best academic institution in South Korea, but what do you think about the origins of the university and its academic activities?
In any case, education during the Japanese colonial period on the Korean peninsula was the same as it is today. If we were to call this a science, it would be completely different.
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.
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.
His Majesty the Emperor, who continued researching fish, discovered 10 new species - two were announced at academic conferences after his abdication.
Most members of the imperial family enroll at Gakushuin University, and their academic majors are not related to politics, economics, or military affairs. The reason is said to be that the Emperor, as a symbol of Japan, is not involved in these activities. Emperor Showa studied biology, and when his attendants said that the grass they cut around the Imperial Palace and Fukiage Palace was ``cutting weeds,'' he said, ``There is no such thing as weeds.''
``Every plant has a name, and each grows in its own favorite place. We shouldn't take a one-sided approach and label it as a weed. Be careful,'' he said. .
In 1964, His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, then Crown Prince, visited Thailand with Her Imperial Highness Princess Michiko. When he met with King Bhumibol Adulyadej and learned about Thailand's current situation of food shortages, he proposed to King Adulyadej that they try growing tilapia as a protein source. Upon returning to Japan, he donated 50 tilapia raised at the Akasaka imperial estate to Thailand.
When former King Bhumibol Adulyadej bred them in his palace pond, the number of young fish increased to 10,000 in a blink of an eye due to their ease of raising and strong reproductive ability. They were sent to various places through the Fisheries Experiment Station, and became a source of food for the Thai people. Even today, it is a common fish in Thailand under the name Pranin. Pura is an abbreviation for Emperor, and Nin is the kanji for Akihito read aloud.
His Majesty the Emeritus also majored in biology and mainly conducted research on fish. In June 2021, after the Emperor's abdication, two new species of goby were discovered, and His Majesty the Emperor himself named them ``Awayukiftus goby'' and ``Sebosyftus goby'' and announced them at an academic conference. A total of 10 new species of fish have been discovered and announced to the world by His Majesty the Emperor.
