Abandoned Japanese Island
Slave labor until 1974 !!! This is not past history. No-one dare speak out, the fear that gripped them still abides, and people still tragically die of KAROSHI. This means worked to death. There is a lot of cover-up and prettifying of history and culture, but in other countries the past is faced and repented of. Germany teaches Holocaust studies to schoolchildren, England makes historically self-deprecatory films documentaries etc., often going too far, as if there were no good in its history or culture. But Japanese self respect is bound up with Japan's image, so even de-humanized victims would not complain. It is very difficult for non-Japanese to understand the full extent of this slavery of the mind. My point is, modern slavery must be iradicated and prevented, not spread around. Some political and cultural leaders would see such docility as very expedient for them.....
