The following is from the Sankei Sho on August 7.
This article also proves that the Sankei Shimbun is the most decent newspaper today.
On the morning of August 6, I watched the memorial service for the victims of the atomic bombing and the peace memorial service held in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on NHK television, and my heart was a little shaken.
I was not talking about a minor issue, such as Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga skipping over an address.
It was because I had to read the famous inscription on the cenotaph again, which NHK had shown on a long, large screen.
“Rest in peace, for we will not repeat our mistakes.
What is the reason for emphasizing this every year on the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima?
There is no subject line, but if you read it in a standard way, it could be taken to mean, “Japan did something wrong and suffered the damage of the atomic bombing, but please rest assured that we have reflected on our actions.　
According to the explanation of Hiroshima City, the purpose of the inscription is “It must be the people of the whole world who pledge anti-nuclear peace to the victims of the atomic bomb,” but then it should be written clearly.
It would be difficult to decipher this from the vague inscription as if it were a constitutional interpretation by a constitutional scholar.
Judge Pearl of India, who upheld the innocence of all the defendants in the Tokyo Trials, learned of the inscription during a visit to Hiroshima and asked, “Whose actions are the wrongs? Those who dropped the atomic bombs are not Japanese,” he retorted.
The Indian Parliament observes a moment of silence on the day of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this is not because Japan made a “mistake.　
In fact, it is not uncommon for the Japanese to take the atomic bombings as Japan’s “mistake.”
Hitoshi Motoshima, who served four terms as mayor of Nagasaki, said in an interview with this newspaper in 1998.　
“In an interview with this newspaper in 1998, Hitoshi Motoshima, who served as mayor of Nagasaki for four terms, said, “When I think of the many devilish things that Japan did in the Asia-Pacific War and other wars, I have to say that the atomic bombings were unavoidable.　
To pass on the inhumanity of nuclear weapons, the monument, which may lead people to believe that the atomic bombings were Japan’s “mistake” and therefore unavoidable, should be removed.
