Why does the author live with Kyoto as his garden while residing in Osaka?
This essay connects insights gained during a serious illness in 2011,
a principled rejection of television fame, and a forceful critique of NHK and other legacy media structures aligned against Japan.

I often reflect on this.
I live in one of the most conveniently connected locations in Osaka.
That is why I have never left this place.
Why, then, do I live as if Kyoto were my own garden.
In 2011, when I was suffering from a serious illness and hospitalized for a long period, I realized that the gardens of the Kyoto Imperial Palace embody the distilled essence of the beauty found throughout Japan.
When I mentioned this to an official of the Imperial Household Agency who manages the gardens, I was told that this was exactly correct.
It is now an undeniable fact that TBS’s Sunday Morning has become an outright anti-Japan program.
This time slot was originally occupied by the long-running and renowned program Jiji Hōdan.
When its hosts grew old and a new program was planned, a producer came to see me and spent two full days trying to persuade me to appear on television.
I refused.
The reason was simple.
To appear on television, to become famous, means losing one’s solitude within the crowd.
I had never once thought that I wanted to become famous by appearing on television or to earn vast sums of money.
For a genuine elite, this should be self-evident.
Moreover, Umesao Tadao, who had been invited to cooperate with NHK at the very beginning of television broadcasting, soon withdrew from that cooperation.
His reason was simple: “Television corrupts human beings.”

It is no exaggeration to say that the majority of people who appear on television are worthless individuals.
This is especially true of those favored by NHK, who can only be described as outrageous human beings.
During the period when Close-Up Gendai was effectively controlled by Takeda, its regulars included an individual with the title of Gakushuin University professor, who served as an informant for Daisuke Tsuda and anti-Japan thuggish reporters of the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan.
Before him came Kang Sang-jung.
When NHK even appointed him as the host of an art program, Masayuki Takayama became so enraged that he stopped watching NHK altogether.
In short, it is no exaggeration at all to say that everyone NHK promotes is a worthless, anti-Japan Japanese.
Those who promote such people are NHK employees, who are in reality national civil servants.
There is little doubt that all of them, regardless of gender, have visited China repeatedly and have been lavishly entertained by the Chinese government under official invitations.
Certain figures unmistakably testify to this fact.

I have recently come to hold one hypothesis with firm conviction.
From the perspective of operatives, it would be common sense.
They naturally target men and women who are likely to become the public faces of NHK news programs.
Why?
Because by doing so, they can control NHK’s reporting itself.
As an added precaution, women are even instructed to marry Japanese celebrities.
China, the CCP, may believe it has succeeded in controlling broadcasters such as NHK and major newspapers, and may continue to behave arrogantly.
But the majority of the Japanese people, possessing the highest culture and civilization in the world—that is, the highest civic maturity—have long since seen through your true nature, far removed from your “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
More than forty years have passed in the online era.
At last, an age in which truth prevails has arrived.
Those who have become your slaves are the legacy media—NHK, Asahi, Nikkei—and information-poor elderly people.
Among them, only communists and those elderly men and women who failed to become communists.
If you think this is false, go and look at Kyoto.
It is an undeniable fact that the only people handing out Communist Party leaflets on the streets of Kyoto are old men and women.
To be continued.
