An essay examining Japan’s unparalleled public ethics, women’s well-being, and cultural depth, while exposing the moral bankruptcy of the United Nations and questioning Japan’s continued financial support of it.

No one in the world visits Kyoto more frequently than I do for the purpose of strolling through the city and appreciating its flowers, birds, wind, and moon, despite not living there.
As I have mentioned several times before, I was again struck recently by the cleanliness and beauty of the toilets found everywhere in Kyoto—and indeed throughout Japan.
The fact that toilets across Japan are impeccably clean proves more convincingly than anything else that Japan is the greatest country in the world.
Intelligence and freedom.
A sense of the public good.
The long history and depth of governance as a nation.
The ethical standards of the people and the depth of their philosophy that arise from these qualities.
They represent everything about Japan and the Japanese people.
Perhaps precisely because of this—because the Japanese people possess the world’s strongest sense of public responsibility—
Japan has contributed extraordinarily large sums to the United Nations, on a level comparable to that of the United States.
This is despite the reality that, after its defeat, Japan effectively remained an American colony.
Now that the United States has suspended its contributions, Japan is providing an overwhelmingly large amount unmatched by any other country.
In other words, the salaries of those who work at the United Nations are being paid by Japan.
Currently, disputes are arising between Tokyo and neighboring prefectures such as Saitama and Chiba over the costs of the Tokyo Olympics—likely due to Governor Koike’s excessive political grandstanding.
Yet simply redirecting the money Japan contributes to UNESCO toward domestic use would instantly resolve such problems.
To return to the main point.
Even among developed nations, there is no country like Japan.
Because I am active mostly during the daytime, there is something I constantly feel in my daily experience.
There are no women in the world as happy as Japanese women.
Anyone who does not know this simple fact need only visit restaurants and cafés in hotels and department stores in Japan’s major cities.
They will see that most customers are women, chatting cheerfully while enjoying cakes and drinks, everywhere throughout Japan.
Even in rural areas without department stores or famous restaurants—farming villages and fishing villages alike—one will see women with carefree, happy expressions everywhere.
Why is Japan a paradise for women?
As I have already noted, I love Ishiyama-dera, where Murasaki Shikibu conceived The Tale of Genji, and I visit it about ten times a year.
She wrote this work—still regarded as one of the world’s greatest literary masterpieces—around the year 1008.
At nearly the same time, Sei Shōnagon, whose intellect rivaled that of Murasaki Shikibu, wrote The Pillow Book, which is likewise still considered one of the world’s great literary works.
For example, Asahi Shimbun, the Democratic Party, so-called civic groups, and human-rights lawyers have long used the United Nations as a stage to wage campaigns that demean and vilify Japan.
As a result of these actions, a person from Moldova—calling himself a UN Special Rapporteur—
has, as usual, been slandering Japan at the very moment Japan is finally attempting to legislate a conspiracy law that almost every country in the world already has.
But is his homeland a country with the world’s highest level of intelligence and freedom, and where women are the happiest in the world, like Japan?
David Kaye—whom I have mentioned several times and who could fairly be described as an agent of China or South Korea—is said to be American or Canadian, but in any case, his homeland did not even exist at the time when Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shōnagon were writing world-class literary masterpieces.
Moreover, several years ago, Newsweek reported that in many developed countries, the proportion of women who had experienced rape reached several tens of percent, and I conveyed this fact to the world.
While searching for that article, I came across another piece in Newsweek, November 7, 2012 issue, page 38, titled “Italian Male Arrogance: Fear of Women’s Independence.”
The article reported that in Italy, a country marked by misogyny, murders of women through domestic violence by husbands or former lovers were steadily increasing.
Yet I have never heard that the United Nations issued a human-rights recommendation against Italy.
In other words, the United Nations today is a sloppy, irresponsible, and utterly dishonest organization—the lowest of the low.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is an organization where the most contemptible people gather.
After all, it is an organization where propaganda from China, the world’s largest human-rights–abusing state, and South Korea, one of the world’s most misogynistic countries, is allowed to prevail.
What is truly pathetic is the stupidity of Japan continuing to pay the enormous salaries of these people.
Exploiting this foolishness and stupidity are the very Ozaki Hotsumi–like figures who currently exist in Japan, making this one of the greatest acts of folly in history.
The United Nations is the completed form of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
And Japan is the country providing the largest amount of massive funding to that United Nations.
Japan must immediately put an end to such absurd behavior.
The time has long since come to stop pouring money into an organization of evil and redirect those funds toward making our own country even greater.
