The following is from a serial column by Masayuki Takayama that appeared in the weekly Shincho magazine released today.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor from the Monaco Royal Ballet School, highly respected by primas around the world, visited Japan.
These are the words she spoke at that time about the meaning of the existence of artists.
"Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden truths and express them."
No one would disagree with her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Takayama Masayuki is not only the one and only journalist and artist in the postwar world but also the only one.
Murakami, other writers, and many people who think they are artists are not worthy of the artist title.
That is because, far from shining a light on hidden truths and expressing them, they have only expressed lies created by the Asahi Shimbun and other newspapers.
People like them are not limited to Japan but should be the same in countries worldwide.
In other words, there are very few true artists.
This paper brilliantly proves what I have said, that in today's world, no one other than Takayama Masayuki is most deserving of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is a must-read not only for Japanese people but also for people worldwide.
Ethnicity speaks
About 30 years ago, I drove on the UN road that crosses Asia, the "Asian Highway."
It was a journey to discover how Asian countries, which had been begging for money from the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, would become independent after the Cold War.
The UN road started in Beijing, but Jiang Zemin banned Sankei Shimbun reporters who wrote the truth from entering the country.
I could not leave Beijing, so I started from Dong Dang in Vietnam, the flashpoint of the Sino-Vietnamese conflict.
I went down to Saigon and tried to pass through Cambodia, but there were still remnants of the Pol Pot faction, so I detoured and entered Thailand.
The next stop was Burma (Myanmar), but according to the UN agency, "a bridge was supposed to have been built across the river from Mae Sot to Myawaddy in Thailand."
When I arrived, there was no sign of a bridge on the 80-meter-wide river. The water was quite deep, and the border smugglers, who were going back and forth with their luggage on their heads, were soaking wet.
After crossing the river in a small boat and following the line of smugglers, we came to a checkpoint where Burmese soldiers were processing our immigration papers.
When I asked if we could enter from here, they said, "From here onwards, mountain tribes are rampant, and it's a state of war."
They said they couldn't guarantee our lives.
One hundred kilometers west of there is the commercial capital of Mawlamyine, but half of the route is in the territory of the rebel Kakayin people.
I asked if we could take a detour to the north to Shan State, where there are "even more violent" Shan people.
The capital of Kachin State, further north, is called Myitkyina.
It's where the Japanese army advanced during the last war to cut off the route to aid Chiang Kai-shek.
It has a nostalgic ring, but the Kachin people there are also rebels. Incidentally, in the 19th century, when Britain colonized Burma, they Christianized these mountain tribes, drove them down from the mountains, and made them soldiers to rule over the Burmese people, who made up 70% of the population.
That's why they didn't get along.
When the British troops disappeared after the Japanese invasion, a prominent Burmese force led by Aung San drove out the hill tribes, including the Karen and a brutal massacre began.
The Japanese army mediated, convincing the hill tribes that the country belonged to the Burmese, and asked Aung San to try to coexist with them.
However, when Japan was defeated and Britain returned, the situation changed.
The British assassinated Aung San's faction, and the hill tribes regained their strength.
When the British left, Ne Win took power and drove the hill tribes out again, deepening their hatred.
I had the opportunity to visit Burma several times after that. The quarrel between the two sides changed form, and the hill tribes joined Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) and competed with the Burmese for seats in parliament.
The newspapers collectively referred to the Burmese side as the "national army" and the hill tribes as the "democratic forces."
The image of serious ethnic friction was erased and changed to a political conflict between the same Burmese.
When there is a dispute, there is a country that takes advantage of it.
It is China.
China does not mediate.
It supplies weapons to both sides, prolonging the conflict and reaping the benefits.
The other day, while watching the news on TV, the name Miyawadayi came up, which brought back memories.
The scenery was completely different from what I saw long ago.
Where I thought the checkpoint on the other side of the river was, there was a group of housing complexes similar to those in Takashimadaira. According to the Asahi Shimbun, border security is not the national army, but "the Karens are in charge."
They say, "We allowed Chinese crime organizations to settle here, and that's how the special fraud complexes were born."
But if the name of the hill tribes is suddenly mentioned here, readers will be confused about how to position them.
The root of the conflict between the Burmese and the hill tribes lies in the British colonial division and rule.
The Western media wants to hide such old wounds from the past.
That's why they have falsely called them the "national army" or "democratic forces."
Japan does not have to accept Western conveniences to that extent, but it follows suit neatly.
It is because Japanese international reporting is written by reporters who have been brainwashed by Fulbright study abroad programs and who believe all Western reports are accurate.
The origin of international reporting is always in "ethnic groups."
Please don't forget that.
