The following is an excerpt from Takayama Masayuki's serialized column published in Themis, a monthly subscription magazine that arrived at my house yesterday.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the post-war world.
A long time ago, an elderly professor from the Royal Ballet School in Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, came to Japan.
At that time, she said the following about the significance of artists.
'Artists are essential because they can only shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them.
No one would argue with her words.
Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the post-war world, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the one and only artist in the post-war world.
This thesis also beautifully proves the correctness of my statement that, in the current world, no one deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide.

Yoichi Funabashi, formerly of the Asahi Shimbun, has a commentary on Abe that is full of lies
and also ignores the content of Mahathir's speech "If There Were No Japan."
He says, "The abduction issue is an obstacle to the normalization of relations between Japan and North Korea."
The Sankei Shimbun has many informative columns that "report the truth." Rui Abiru's "Kyokukugen Gomen" is always a fresh surprise and thoroughly enjoyable while making you think about the hollowness of reality.
It is so stimulating because Shinzo Abe himself is the source of the material.
No other reporter has delved as deeply and for as long into the source of the material as Abiru.
He is genuinely a one-of-a-kind journalist.
The other day, Abiru mentioned the book "The Child of Destiny," a chronicle of the Abe administration written by Yoichi Funabashi, the former chief editor of the Asahi Shimbun.
When I first heard about this 5,000-yen book, I wondered, "Why is Funabashi of the Asahi writing this?"
The reason is that the Asahi Shimbun is mainly responsible for cornering Abe, making his condition worse, and exposing him to a fatal bullet.
Funabashi was also partly responsible for this.
Moreover, this was not done through factual reporting but through false reporting.
Or, to put it more clearly, Funabashi and others continued to carry out acts of terrorism under the guise of reporting.
How much was Funabashi able to get away with when it came to "politician Shinzo Abe"?
Ahiru points out one aspect of this in his book's "Kim Jong-un" chapter.
Funabashi dismisses the abduction negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong-un as a "massive failure" in that chapter.
However, Abiru says he heard directly from Abe, "Kim Jong-un, prompted by Trump, replied that he was prepared to meet with Abe."
In contrast, Funabashi's story is the same as the Foreign Ministry's argument, which has no achievements other than opposing Abe.
He writes based on one side's argument.
He completely lacks qualifications as a journalist.
In the first place, Asahi, including Funabashi, is not in a position to write about the abduction issue of the North in such a high-handed manner.
When the abductions of girl Megumi and Ms. Keiko Arimoto were confirmed, Asahi wrote in an editorial, "The abduction issue is an obstacle to the normalization of Japan-North Korea relations."
Japanese people don't care if Japan has no diplomatic relations with North Korea.
What is far more important is the release of the abducted Japanese.
Funabashi doesn't even understand that, and as the chief editor, his ignorance is too much.
For example, there is the East Timor issue.
Negotiations with Japan are old.
Before the war, when Japan tried to extend its air routes to Southeast Asia, Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands prohibited even overflights over their colonies.
Only Portugal permitted flights to East Timor.
It was a 6,000 km journey from Yokohama via Saipan and Palau.
The 97-type flying boat of Dai Nippon Koku flew the route.
However, immediately after the outbreak of war between Japan and the United States, the Australian and Dutch forces invaded East Timor on their own accord.
They detained 30 Japanese, including employees of Dai Nippon Koku.
After the Japanese army had subdued Dutch India, they landed with the permission of the Portuguese government and rescued the hostages by defeating the Australian and Dutch forces.
At the time, "the Portuguese governor was troubled by the uprising of the islanders and asked the Japanese army to stay and maintain public order" (Shinichi Yamashita, professor at Showa Women's University).
The Japanese army decided to stay on the island on the condition that the governor-general would stop imposing a salt tax on the islanders and allow them to use farming tools that had been banned because they could be used as weapons (Yoshimasa Nomura, Professor at Chiba Institute of Science, "Military Strategy and Military Occupation Policy").
Massacre of the islanders and the lie in East Timor
The islanders were delighted to be freed from hunger after the Japanese army taught them how to grow rice paddies.
Even comfort women were provided for the Japanese military.
"The islanders cooperated with the military. When spies from Australia infiltrated the island, the islanders reported them and captured them, and then they spread disinformation to disrupt the Australian invasion" (Professor Yamashita).
It was an incredibly successful military operation during the war, but after the war, the Japanese military was demonized under the guidance of GHQ, and academics and the media were busy falsifying the history of the war.
Professor Goto Kenichi of Waseda University and Professor Aiko Kurasawa of Keio University, among others, fabricated the lie that "the Japanese army invaded East Timor, killing 40,000 islanders and spending their time looting and raping".
Incredibly, the Asahi ran this without even bothering to do any research.
Funabashi also swallowed the lies of Goto and others and wrote that "Japan should reflect on its past (of massacring the islanders)."
What's more, they were easily fooled by the independence fraud story concocted by the mixed-race children of East Timor, and they made the Japanese government pay reparations to them, forcing the government to pay out 200 billion yen of taxpayers' money.
Japan still gives them 200 million yen every year.
Japanese people don't believe that scholars and newspaper editors conspire to tell lies, so they still believe that the "massacre of 40,000 Japanese soldiers" is actual.
Another example of Funabashi's lack of common sense is his speech at the East Asian Economic Forum in Hong Kong in October 1992, in which he said, "If it weren't for Japan, the West would have monopolized the world's industry, and they would have sold us industrial products like cars and TVs at whatever price they wanted. We would have only supplied them with the raw materials for their products at low prices."
"However, Japan generously taught us their know-how and provided us with their technology. That's why the Asian countries could manufacture their cars, refrigerators, and televisions."
The pinnacle of a strange "white man worship" mentality
"If it weren't for Japan, we would still be forced to live in poverty as slaves to the white nations."
It was a very stimulating but accurate lecture.
Funabashi was in the audience and heard the speech.
Halfway through the lecture, he also witnessed many angry white people kicking their seats and storming out of the hall.
It was a big scoop.
However, Funabashi did not write about either the lecture content or the behavior of white people.
Unfortunately, the other Japanese correspondents ignored the lecture.
Japanese correspondents listen to and write about white people when they speak.
If an Asian or a black person gave a lecture, they wouldn't even cover it.
The person who was at the height of this strange sense of worship of white people was Yoichi Funabashi.
The book "Child of Destiny" was written by someone like that.
It does touch on the biggest crime of Asahi, the lie of the comfort women, which Abe exposed, but it shows no sense of guilt.
What meaning does the superficial view of Shinzo Abe held by a man who stands on the Tokyo Trials Historical View have?
