This essay reexamines Kyoto University’s Kumano Dormitory, Song Du-hui, The Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and the anti-Japan propaganda surrounding the comfort women and wartime labor issues as parts of one continuous lineage.
It harshly scrutinizes the lingering GHQ mindset in postwar Japan, Kyoto University’s long-standing negligence, the media’s incitement, and the pathology of journalism and politics that continue to damage Japan’s national interest.

Readers of The Asahi Shimbun have unquestioningly accepted commentaries praising Kyoto University as the very model of a free academic institution, citing such matters as the Takigawa Incident, but,

The chapter I posted yesterday under the title, “They are reporting as though praising it as the proper act of criticizing power as evil,”
has entered the official hashtag ranking at No. 75 for Kyoto University.
This is the chapter I posted on 2018-05-15 under the title, “A man named Song Du-hui, who had absolutely nothing to do with Kyoto University, lived for free for many years in Kyoto University’s Kumano Dormitory.”
Kyoto University is a national university.
Its facilities and the like are state-owned property.
To begin with, it was at Kyoto University that the absurd plot called the so-called wartime comfort women was set in motion.
A man named Song Du-hui, who had absolutely nothing to do with Kyoto University, lived for free for many years in Kyoto University’s Kumano Dormitory.
Ignoring the GHQ order issued at the end of the war that those from the Korean Peninsula should return to the Korean Peninsula…under the worst status-based discriminatory system, he did not want to return to the Korean Peninsula at all…that was probably this man’s true intention…
Song did not return…
He even filed lawsuits saying things such as, I am a Japanese person holding Japanese nationality, treat me as a Japanese.
While this was going on, he beguiled a woman named Aoyagi Atsuko, a graduate of Kyushu University and the wife of a doctor who had also graduated from Kyushu University, and caused her to launch a certain movement.
At that time,
leftists and activists who embodied The Asahi Shimbun, which has in the past one or two years conspicuously proven itself in fact to be a sympathizer of totalitarian states and their stronghold…the headquarters of mini-Goebbels,
and “Asahi Journal,” the bible of subscribers who blindly believed in The Asahi Shimbun,
were used by Song to place advertisements again and again, with Aoyagi serving as secretary-general…
It is now easy to infer where that funding came from.
The one who leapt upon this was Yoon Mi-hyang, the founder of the Korean Council and a person whose reputation as, in effect, a North Korean spy has already been established,
along with Mizuho Fukushima and Kenichi Takagi, who were then lawyers, and The Asahi Shimbun, especially reporters in its Osaka social affairs department.
Because the people above used this plot begun by Song Du-hui as an attack against Japan, the honor and credibility of the Japanese state and the Japanese people have continued to be damaged to an extent impossible to quantify in money.
Together with the actual financial damage, the Japanese government—that is, we ourselves—should originally have made all of the above people compensate for the damages.
For those damages continue throughout the world even now.
The movements carried out throughout the world by totalitarians raised under the anti-Japan education begun by Syngman Rhee—such as erecting comfort woman statues and wartime laborer statues—are anti-Japan propaganda.
They are a plot to place Japan permanently in the position of a political prisoner in the international community.
Their purpose is to weaken Japan’s national power.
That the ones who have contributed most to this plot to extort vast sums of money from Japan at every opportunity—that is, to swindle the tax money of the Japanese people—are The Asahi Shimbun and NHK is now an unmistakable fact.
When, in August five years earlier, The Asahi Shimbun officially apologized in Japan over this matter and its president resigned, we Japanese people committed a grave error.
We should have forced The Asahi Shimbun out of publication and made that newspaper company compensate for the astronomical damages caused by the long series of fabricated reports it had continued to produce in order to demean Japan.
The cause that gave rise to this plot, which has wounded the honor and credibility of the Japanese state and the Japanese people beyond monetary measure,
was Japan’s national Kyoto University, which let a person named Song Du-hui, who had no connection whatsoever with Kyoto University, live free of charge in Kumano Dormitory for many years.
Why did such a thing happen?
Readers of The Asahi Shimbun have unquestioningly accepted commentaries praising Kyoto University as the very model of free learning, citing such matters as the Takigawa Incident,
but Yukitoki Takigawa, the ringleader of the incident, had before the war been purged as a communist who harmed Japan.
In other words, he was in fact nothing but a worthless communist, yet such a man even became president of Kyoto University.
When I learned that the other day, I understood for the first time: that is why Song Du-hui had been living in Kumano Dormitory for free.
Kumano Dormitory is now in no way compliant with the Building Standards Act; even though if a substantial earthquake were to strike, the solid reinforced-concrete building groups of Okinawa would not budge, this Kumano Dormitory would not only certainly collapse but would also certainly bring about secondary disasters such as fires,
and yet Kyoto University has continued to leave it alone all this time.
In Kyoto, a city whose entirety may be said to be a World Heritage site, and with a national university at that, Kyoto University has only now at last reached a level where it can understand the folly of continuing to preserve such a building.
It took seventy-four years after the war, but it has finally begun to become normal.
It took seventy-four years after the war, but Kyoto University has finally reached a level where it can free itself from the yoke of GHQ, that ignorant group with regard to Japan.
Yet the foolishness of still keeping on staff people who greatly contributed to North Korea’s nuclear development remains as incorrigible as ever.
The other day I saw the news that students had filed a lawsuit opposing the university’s decision to demolish Kumano Dormitory,
but the childishness and self-indulgence of those students’ arguments are precisely the same source as the causes behind the incidents involving pampered sons from good families that have been making headlines these days.
Kyoto University students were saying things to the effect that universities have an obligation to support poor students.
Without even feeling ashamed, they are asserting that this is their right.
Unlike people like them, who enter and emerge from Kyoto University…and among whom there are those who come out as infantile leftists making this sort of claim and become people who harm the nation,
I was a person blessed, when I was in the second year of high school, with the intellect that led my mentor to tell me, “You should remain at Kyoto University and uphold it upon your two shoulders,”
but familial misfortune given by God as a trial…which, as is so often the way of the world, resulted in lack of money…
My life was one that truly lived out Le Clézio’s The Book of Flights, yet when I somehow arrived in Kyoto, for some reason I thought:
“I do not need a university.”
Starting with nothing, I founded a real-estate company in Osaka, carried out work that may have been the best in Japan among small and medium-sized enterprises, and brought more than 17 billion yen in tax payments to the nation.
The other day, by chance, I was watching a television program hosted by a comedian, noisily making sport of “The University of Tokyo vs. Kyoto University.”
It said that Kyoto University students are poor because, compared with Tokyo University, there are overwhelmingly fewer companies nearby where they can work part-time.
But that is merely what television stations—which alone continue to revel in a springtime of prosperity for themselves—are saying, and until now the great majority of Kyoto University students have properly fulfilled their studies.
I declare that people of the sort who file such lawsuits will never become people who serve the nation and benefit us,
and that even when they become parents, they will raise nothing but people who attack police officers.
That is because in that utterly spoiled attitude, one cannot see the slightest fragment of noble spirit anywhere.
As human beings, they are lacking from the outset in the qualifications to be Kyoto University students, a university that represents Japan and the world,
and they are the kind of people who cannot even understand that.
If they are so poor that they cannot even complete their studies, then it cannot be helped—they have no choice but to withdraw.
At any rate, since they possess enough intellect to enter Kyoto University, they can do anything.
What is more, today one does not need money to start a business…a company can be established with one yen. With your intellect and PC skills, you could achieve crowdfunding as easily as anything.
Instead of wasting time on lawsuits that are not only wrong but the lowest thing one can do as a human being, you should all withdraw from school at once and cooperate to launch a business.
If you do that, you can build a company that will not lose to Google.
Unite and do it.
The unity you have now is entirely mistaken.
As long as you go on like that, you may become so-called human-rights lawyers like Mizuho Fukushima who harm Japan and the Japanese people,
and you may become parents who raise children who kill others,
but you will never become people who live for the good of the world and for the good of others.

The female student who answered in a newspaper interview, saying that “Kyoto University’s character has disappeared…” in response to the removal of the childish and malicious signboards that had done nothing but continue defiling the scenery of Kyoto, the finest city in the world, should first read this essay of mine before calling herself a Kyoto University student.
Kyoto is a city built by numerous great figures from long before Kyoto University ever came into existence.
There was an article saying that NHK, with an almost proud air, reported that new signboards had been erected to protest the removal of these signboards…
and that it reported in a manner almost praising this as the proper act of criticizing power as evil.
The very fact that NHK is engaging in such reporting means that,
just as Song Du-hui infiltrated Kyoto University and incited a housewife who had graduated from Kyushu University,
many resident Koreans and others infiltrated NHK amid the confusion at the end of the war,
NHK became an organizer and sponsor of the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal,
and even now NHK continues, with Watch 9 as its main battlefield, to report the Moritomo and Kake matters in step with The Asahi Shimbun.
NHK continued to report in large close-up shots day after day on Kiyomi Tsujimoto,
whose common-law husband is a former criminal of the Red Army Faction, who has surely not renounced that past and is plainly still an activist,
and who herself was arrested and indicted for fraudulently receiving a Diet member’s salary paid from the tax money of Japanese citizens, was convicted, and resigned her seat,
and who, in any other advanced country besides Japan, could be defined without the slightest exaggeration as a spy of the Korean Peninsula.
Among all of this, what I truly considered the lowest and worst of all
was what was said regarding the fact that Mrs. Akie Abe accompanied Prime Minister Abe when he and his wife departed, representing Japan and the Japanese people, for the recent Japan-U.S. summit meeting that was vitally important for the Japanese state and the Japanese people.
Regarding this, politicians of the Constitutional Democratic Party who can be described as nothing other than utter fools…
no, as people every one of whom can only be called agents of the Korean Peninsula,
raised idiotic voices such as “Oooh,”
and NHK’s Watch 9 reported that scene broadly as though it were the proper state of affairs.

What president of any advanced country would open his heart and welcome
a woman who not only committed grave crimes against Japan and the world, but also has as her husband a senior figure of the Japanese Red Army Faction with close ties to North Korea,
and who herself was arrested for fraudulently receiving a salary paid from the tax money of the people, and resigned as a member of the Diet!

Has NHK’s news department ever even once thought about this!
