Through Japan’s public consciousness, the happiness of its women, the depth of its literary history, and the issue of excessive contributions to the United Nations, this essay examines the ethical and historical depth of Japanese civilization.
It also delivers a sharp criticism of the hypocrisy of the United Nations as an organization that tolerates and amplifies anti-Japan narratives.

Among those who do not live in Kyoto, I am probably by far the number one person in the world in terms of how often I visit in order to stroll through Kyoto and admire its flowers, birds, wind, and moon.
As I have mentioned several times, I was again recently struck by the beauty of the toilets found everywhere throughout Kyoto.
The same is probably true in every region of Japan.
The beauty of toilets throughout Japan proves, more than anything else, that Japan is the greatest country in the world.
Intelligence and freedom.
A sense of the public.
The history of governance as a nation, and its depth.
The ethical sense and philosophical depth of the people that these have brought forth.
All of these things express everything about Japan and the Japanese people.
Perhaps that is why Japan, as a people possessing the world’s greatest sense of the public, has provided extraordinarily massive funding to the United Nations, alongside the United States.
This is despite the fact that, after defeat in war, Japan continued in reality to be treated as a colony of the United States.
Now that the United States has halted its contributions, Japan is providing an extraordinarily massive amount of money unmatched by any other country.
In other words, it is Japan that is paying the salaries of those who earn their living at the United Nations.
At present, over the burden of funding for the Tokyo Olympics, Tokyo and neighboring prefectures such as Saitama and Chiba are clashing, perhaps because Governor Koike’s grandstanding went too far.
But if, for example, the money Japan contributes to UNESCO were simply redirected toward our own country, such problems could be solved instantly.
Be that as it may.
Even among advanced nations, there is no country like Japan.
There is something I always feel very keenly, since I spend most of my time out and about during the daytime.
There are no women in the world as happy as Japanese women.
Anyone who does not know this simple fact only needs to visit restaurants and cafés in hotels and department stores in Japan’s major cities.
Almost all the customers are women, and throughout Japan one can see scenes of them chatting happily while eating cake and the like.
Even in rural areas without department stores or famous restaurants, in farming villages, fishing villages, and everywhere else, one will see women wearing carefree and happy expressions.
Why is Japan a paradise for women?
As I have already noted, I love Ishiyamadera, where Murasaki Shikibu conceived The Tale of Genji, and I visit it around ten times a year.
It was around 1008 that she wrote The Tale of Genji, which even now remains one of the world’s foremost literary works.
Furthermore, at almost the same time, Sei Shōnagon, a woman whose intelligence stood alongside that of Murasaki Shikibu, wrote The Pillow Book, which also remains one of the world’s foremost literary works even now.
For example, perhaps as a result of the long campaign carried out at the United Nations by the Asahi Shimbun, the Democratic Party, so-called civic groups, and human-rights lawyers to demean and disparage Japan, a person from Moldova, styling himself a United Nations Special Rapporteur, was, as usual, slandering Japan just as Japan was finally about to legislate a conspiracy law that most countries in the world had already enacted.
But is that person’s homeland, like Japan, a country possessing the world’s greatest intelligence and freedom, a country where women are the happiest in the world?
As I have mentioned several times, David Kaye, a man whom it would not be an exaggeration to call an agent of China and South Korea, may be American or Canadian — I do not know which — but in any case, his homeland did not even exist at the time when Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shōnagon were writing some of the world’s greatest literary works.
What is more, several years ago Newsweek reported that the percentage of women who had suffered rape in advanced countries was, across the board, in the several tens of percent, and I conveyed that to the world.
While searching for that, I came across an article on page 38 of the November 7, 2012 issue of Newsweek titled, “The Arrogance of Italian Men Who Fear Women’s Independence. Crime. In misogynistic Italy, DV murders by husbands and former lovers continue to increase.”
After that, I have never heard that the United Nations issued any human-rights recommendation against Italy.
In other words, today’s United Nations is a sloppy, irresponsible, and utterly disgraceful organization — the worst in the world.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that it is an organization where the most contemptible kinds of people gather.
After all, it is an organization in which the propaganda of China, the world’s greatest human-rights violating state, and South Korea, one of the world’s most misogynistic countries, is allowed to prevail.
What is truly pathetic, moreover, is the sheer stupidity of Japan continuing to pay the extraordinarily large salaries of such people.
And those who continue to exploit this foolishness and stupidity are precisely the Ozaki Hotsumi figures who exist in Japan today, which is why it is no exaggeration to say that this is among the greatest follies in history.
The completed form of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies” is the United Nations.
And it is Japan that is providing the United Nations with one of the largest massive sums of money.
Japan must stop this stupidity at once, and the time has long since come for it to stop the funds it has continued to give to an evil organization and redirect them toward making its own country even more the greatest in the world.
