The Fabrication That Trampled Postwar Japan — The Origins of a Distorted Narrative
Postwar Japan has been undermined by fabricated narratives surrounding Korea and China.
This essay examines the responsibility of the media and cultural figures who sustained those distortions.
They have shaped postwar Japan as a nation that has been continuously trampled by utterly outrageous states such as Korea and China.

People around the world who read the previous chapter will come to know that sexual slavery is itself a tradition of the Korean Peninsula.
Japan has had no such tradition whatsoever. From the outset, the Japanese people are among the rare nations in the world that never harbored the idea of enslaving others.
Seen in this light, the lawyers who at the time held key positions in the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, repeatedly traveled to the United Nations, insisted that the issue was not comfort women but sexual slavery, and ultimately caused this claim to take root in places such as the United States as if it were true, were surely individuals of Korean Peninsula origin.
They must have demeaned Japan using words etched into their own DNA.
Likewise, I recall with deep regret.
When I was young and living in Kyoto, there was a manga I once read while standing in a used-book store.
It was Kamui Gaiden by Sanpei Shirato. I read it because it featured a ninja protagonist who had mastered extraordinary techniques, yet the rural landscapes depicted in that work were heavily imbued with images of Korean villages that had been continuously plundered and exploited by the yangban.
Anyone who has read this monumental work by Huang Wenxiong and learned the truth will surely think the same.
Those whom we must sternly criticize with the utmost contempt and anger are Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural figures who align with it, who have constructed postwar Japan as a nation continually trampled by utterly outrageous states such as Korea and China.
They are truly incorrigible and unforgivable people.
