The Air of the Subway Speaks — Japan’s Aesthetic Sense and Perfectionism
The purified air of a modern Japanese subway car embodies centuries of aesthetic discipline and craftsmanship.
Such a civilization could never have practiced sexual slavery—this is self-evident.
Looking up, one sees the aesthetic sense the Japanese have cultivated since recorded history, and the distinctly Japanese trait of craftsmanship that cannot be satisfied without doing a job perfectly.

Yesterday, I was riding the Midosuji subway line from Umeda to Senri-Chuo.
I realized it was a brand-new model of train I had never seen before. I felt the air inside the car was different.
Looking up, the air-conditioning system was operating—a crystallization of the aesthetic sense the Japanese have cultivated since antiquity and their unique craftsman’s spirit that demands perfection. As I admired it as a truly magnificent work, I noticed a familiar mark on both sides of the air outlets.
It was none other than the PlasmaCluster mark of Sharp, the same one installed in every room of my home.
Amazing. Japan is amazing. I felt proud to be Japanese.
No wonder the air inside the car was completely different; the system was operating on both sides of the ceiling at each doorway.
Those riding in this car will have a greatly reduced chance of catching colds inside the train.
World. If you pride yourself on being advanced nations, introduce these Japanese train cars immediately.
And developing countries, when you introduce subways, leave it to Japan.
The reason should go without saying. Perfection like this cannot be made by anyone other than the Japanese.
Ignorant, coarse, and reckless world.
United States, a nation that leads the world alongside Japan. Setting aside your admirable and less admirable roughness, if you are conscious of being a world leader, introduce Japanese-made subway cars.
Frayed feelings caused by income disparities and the like will be greatly soothed simply by breathing this air.
Ignorant, coarse, and reckless world. Its representatives—United Nations, The New York Times, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Alexis Dudden, and John Dower.
Japan, a country made up of people capable of creating such train cars, has never made women into sexual slaves. It should be obvious without a word that it never could.
The countries that have practiced sexual slavery are those accusing Japan of it. The time has long since come for you to know that the culprit is yourselves.
