A critical comparison between Asahi Shimbun editorials and Nikkei’s “Oiso Koiso,” exposing the flawed thinking that trapped Japan in decades of stagnation.
The concept of “The Turntable of Civilization” reveals who politically imprisoned Japan in the postwar international order.

Because I most certainly corrected Japan and the world completely.

The following is from yesterday’s Nikkei column “Oiso Koiso.”
How many people carefully read this column in comparison with the large editorial published prominently on the front page of Asahi Shimbun yesterday.
Rather than merely being an eccentric man, the Asahi Shimbun economic editorial chief Masato Hara has been utterly indifferent to the enormous damage he has inflicted on Japan and its people, including the grave sin of creating deflation and producing Japan’s Lost Twenty Years.
I compared his article, written with excessive prominence, with “Oiso Koiso.”
In response to Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda’s announcement that the achievement of the 2 percent inflation target would be delayed, he wrote a headline declaring it a de facto admission of defeat, as if he had captured the head of a demon.
Asahi Shimbun, represented by this man’s immature and malicious intellect, continued to dominate Japan until August the year before last.
As a result, it allowed one-party communist dictators and, in reality, the arrogance and expansion of totalitarian states to persist unchecked.
Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural figures aligned with it joined them in attacking, degrading, and oppressing Japan, thereby halting the progress of the Turntable of Civilization and creating today’s extremely unstable and dangerous world.
After a long absence, my reunion with people from my hometown became the remote cause for the argument that took root in my mind, titled “Even seventy years after the war, who has kept Japan in the position of a political prisoner in the international community.”
Together with my concept of the Turntable of Civilization, this was truly a Nobel-Prize-level discovery.
Because I most certainly corrected Japan and the world completely.
