An examination of Japan’s historical non-discriminatory civilization contrasted with Western racial hierarchy and East Asian caste systems, and how these structures fueled false accusations against Japan on the global stage.

Japan’s civilizational core is non-discrimination; the accusations leveled against it reflect the projection of other societies’ own histories of hierarchy and abuse.

“The sense of discrimination is understood as serving the hypocritical society of Christian whites.”
(From Shoichi Watanabe, memorial publication The Spring of Knowledge.)

Japan is a country that has never held slaves throughout its recorded history.

The most fundamental spirit of the Seventeen-Article Constitution established by Prince Shotoku is expressed in the phrase: harmony is to be valued above all.

Born in Yuriage, Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, I was granted the intellectual ability of a second-year high school student by the fifth grade of elementary school.
I was urged by my mentor to remain at Kyoto University and bear it on my shoulders, but harboring feelings toward my father that I could not forgive, I left home, abandoned without hesitation the elite course promised to me, and deviated so far from the expected path that my classmates could scarcely believe it, beginning my life as an entrepreneur from absolute nothingness.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that my knowledge is first-hand knowledge itself.

I worked in real estate brokerage in Osaka.

The Kansai region is an area where the capital once stood.

On the street corners of Osaka’s downtown districts, I repeatedly saw the words “Iwa-ki,” meaning harmony is precious.
They were written on signboards as neighborhood slogans.
At first, I wondered why there were so many places bearing the name “Iwa-ki.”

The constitution of Prince Shotoku still lives today.
That is the essence of Japan.

Therefore, we do not discriminate against other peoples.

In China, where from the dynastic era onward the ruling ethnicity changed roughly every hundred years and former rulers, their families, and their cultures were eradicated,

royal families of the Later Han dynasty fled to Japan, were welcomed around present-day Otsu, and were able to live prosperous lives.

From that lineage was born Saicho, who may rightly be called, alongside Kukai, a founding figure of Japanese Buddhism.

The Three Kingdoms period of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo ended with Silla unifying the peninsula with the help of China.
At that time, Baekje’s royal family fled to Japan and was permitted to live along the shores of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture.
The royal family of Goguryeo was permitted to live in the mountainous regions of eastern Japan.

In other words, Japan was a country that did not discriminate.

White societies practiced thorough discrimination based on skin color.

China and the Korean Peninsula, which had long been its tributary, employed caste systems rooted in Confucianism, fragmenting and discriminating against their own people to an unbelievable degree.

Anyone other than the royal family and the aristocracy known as the yangban was considered a member of a despised class, regardless of being a scholar or anything else.

Even prostitutes were classified as state-owned or privately owned, and women were not even given names.
Women within a yangban’s territory were considered the property of that yangban, who could treat them as he pleased, subject them to unspeakable abuse, and even kill them without punishment.

Exploiting fabricated articles by the Asahi Shimbun, activities were initiated by resident Koreans manipulating a housewife from Oita who had graduated from Kyushu University.

These outrageous efforts to locate “comfort women” and force compensation from the Japanese government were quickly seized upon by groups that were, in reality, North Korean spy organizations.

The stories told by the prostitutes they assembled were so absurd that even a Seoul National University professor conducting interviews was astonished by their implausibility.

In fact, these accounts were nothing other than descriptions of the abuses the women had suffered under Korea’s own caste system, particularly at the hands of the yangban.

Ignoring the professor’s dismissal,

they spread these tales to the world, primarily in the United States and the United Nations, claiming them to be the actions of Japanese soldiers, members of what was arguably the most disciplined and strongest military force in the world.

Ignorant, crude, and morally base individuals within the United Nations and the United States—such as Alexis Dudden, Carol Gluck, and their ringleader John Dower, along with Dutch feminist scholars who sympathize with such foolish people—are now attacking Japan by treating these absurdities as truth.

Why can prostitutes tell such lies without hesitation.

Because they come from a country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”

To be continued.
