I have based the book on information about Japan and the Japanese way of life, particularly information related to technology, economics, politics, environment, and society. And I talk about our relations with China and ASEAN countries to show how they influence us to nurture our g-local mindset for the future. 　“Civilization may evolve into a merger of technology and humanity. Since Japanese culture seems a good harmony between mystic attitudes and technocratic knowledge more than others, it could be a positive influence on our future Conscious-Technology Age. Which Way Are the Japanese People Heading? Creating a Pan Pacific Culture by Professor Mizuta Kazuo on sustainable development and global consciousness gives great detail on this transition to the required future mindset.” 　Jerome C. Glenn, the Millennium Project ［Author］ Kazuo Mizuta Kyoto Sangyo University 　　　Professor Emeritus 　　　Comparative Culture Studies 　　　Futurist 　I am a practicing sociologist in the field of comparative culture, long-time futurist, and professor emeritus at Kyoto Sangyo University in Kyoto, one of the leading private universities in the country. I have spent years assessing and comparing traditional Japanese values and institutions with those of other countries both in Asia and the West. My research fields are comparative culture and future studies. I’ve worked all my life thinking and learning about American and Japanese ways of living. 　I received a Fulbright scholarship to study at English Department, Western Michigan University as a graduate student. After finishing the M.A. program there, I moved to Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Madison as I received a teaching assistantship there. While I studied modern American novels and taught basic Japanese in late 1960s at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. I learned how important it was to know the ways that students live, work, engage in sport activities, and socialize in everyday life. 　I taught at Kyoto Sangyo University, Department of Cultural Studies. I have also worked for the University Affiliated Research Institute of World Affairs. 　I wrote An Introduction to Comparative Culture Studies (1996).and translated The State of the Future2016 of the Millennium Project. 　The paper, Human and Robots Interaction: When Will Robots Come of Age?

※この絵本は『地球をまもるってどんなこと？　 小学生のわたしたちにできること』の【英語版】です。 Every choice we make in our daily lives has an impact on the environment. As we humans have made our lives more comfortable and convenient, we have also polluted the air, destroyed forests and filled the oceans with waste. The climate is changing too and we are experiencing more natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, than ever before. Not only that, there are places on Earth where humans are at war with one another and children are being forced to do unfair work. What will happen if this continues? The Earth may no longer be inhabitable by the time we are adults. In this book, I will share with you my ideas about the actions we can take to make this world a better place.

“How wonderful would it be to wake up tomorrow to find that my reality had completely changed! Life never proceeds as I wish, and there is no bright future ahead of me.” If you have felt this way at least once, this book is for you. The author introduces the way to break through the force of habits that is extremely difficult to escape from, as well as new concepts, such as the method for engaging Chaos?a new way of perceiving the reality. This book will be your step-by-step guide in creating a new future and finding the mission in life you are meant to carry out.

Win without fighting - the definitive version of Ushiro Karate that realizes the essence of Bujutsu! 　 This book is a compilation of three of Kenji Ushiro's karate books, "The Origin of Budo” (in 2000), "The Knowledge and Practice of Bujutsu Karate” (in 2001), and "The Way to Bujutsu Karate” (in 2003). And it is the definitive version of “Ushiro Karate”with new and detailed additions and corrections. 　 The essence of Bujutsu Karate, beyond styles and schools, is explained based on actual practice. What is the true meaning of Bujutsu? What is the meaning of Kata? What is the meaning of Bunkai-kumite? What is Body-Brain? What is Breathing Power? What is Neutralization? Who is a master? What is training? The book is a must-read for all practitioners of Bujutsu, not just karate practitioners. 　 In addition, this book contains a "practical philosophy" of life that leads to how we should be in our daily lives, how we should be as people, how we should be as leaders, and ultimately, how we should live based on Mr. Ushiro's wide range of experiences and perspectives as a corporate leader and a leading-edge engineer in the field of electronics. This is the starting point for the teaching of "Ki" that Mr. Ushiro is currently deploying to bring out the potential of human beings. 　 This book is not a ‘how-to’ book as we have seen in recent years. This is because there is no how-to in Bujutsu. However, for those who are serious about pursuing the path of Bujutsu, I am certain that this book will lead them to the true way of training. Furthermore, for those who are searching for a way to live in this difficult time, I am confident that this book will be a guide to living an unwavering life.

This is a photomanipulation work. The pictures and compositions of everyday towns are colored with bright and transparent shades of blue and yellow, as if projecting a bright future from another dimension.

“I wrote this book in the hope that readers will be able to save their own lives as well as those of the ones they love when an earthquake next strikes, so that the tragedy of March 11, 2011, would never be repeated.” ―Satoko Oki What our chatty planet teaches us Would you be surprised to hear that there are scientists who listen to the Earth? Yes, the Earth does talk in many different voices?the voice of the air, the voice of the sea, the voice of volcanoes, and the voice of the Earth. Seismologists listen to the voice of the Earth. We use high performance seismometers that do not miss the slightest muttering by the Earth that human ears cannot hear. That way, we can learn about what causes earthquakes and even what it is like inside the planet. Earthquakes occur because it is hot inside the planet?because the Earth is dynamic. We cannot escape earthquakes as long as we live on the Earth. But from listening to the planet, seismologists have discovered what causes earthquakes and how we can live with them to protect our lives.

This book traces the past 150 years of Japan’s diplomatic history, focusing on the thoughts and actions of the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since the ministry’s establishment in 1869. It includes a discussion of the last fifteen years of the Edo period, beginning with the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1854. Since the Meiji era, Japan’s foreign policy has been informed by its response to that “confrontation from the West.” This foreign policy has been largely based on “accommodation diplomacy” (also called responsive diplomacy). Japan has designed its diplomatic response with an eye to its own foreign policy goals, applying the metric of what might be feasible more than what might be desirable. In “accommodation diplomacy,” the international issues, international order, and the rules of the game are not defined. In that sense, there has been no all-encompassing strategy behind Japan’s foreign policy. Instead, Japan has regarded the international situation simply, as a set of facts. It has sought to maximize the benefits to itself while minimizing risk. Its foreign policy has been an attempt to solve this conundrum through accommodation. Reflective of the times, this has required an abundance of creativity. Japan has needed to be both pragmatic and forward-thinking in its response to changes in the international environment. In the postwar period, as Japan aimed to elevate its standing in the competition-driven international environment, its foreign policy can be understood as an extension of the way it had comported itself since the Meiji era: emphasizing cooperation and coordination with other nations while responding to changes in the international environment.

From 1910 to 1945,Korea was a colony of Imperial Japan. Its governance has been described politically in terms of harsh oppression and economically as exploitation and impoverishment. Certainly, there were many problems with Japanese rule in Korea, but how accurate are those claims? What is the connection between the postwar development of South Korea and the socialist regime in North Korea? This book focuses on economic issues, sticks to positivism, and depicts the reality and transformation of Korea during the period of Japanese control.

The mind of a child is fundamentally different from that of adult. The child can express their knowledge by words, but child acts from its emotional mind. An adult can control its habitual mind and emotional mind with consciousness mind and can act from its consciousness mind. There are two kinds of children. One is heart-active-child and the other is heart-painful-child. Heart-active-child can act like adults to get prizes from its mother, but heat-painful-child can only act from its emotional mind.

In January 20 2009, the day of inauguration of the United States President Obama, 4 months later from Lehman Shock, one Japanese economic sultant sent him the important letter with specific proposal to solve the American economy. The copies were also sent to Benjamin Bernanke, governor of FRB and other top authorities of US government. The proposal indicated the necessity to solve serious gap of rich & poor and to introduce medical care for all people of the United States. Due to the controversial contents in part, there are no responses from US government authorities, and this proposal has been sealed in his hand since then. Now he decided to disclose the proposal for other problem nations in economy. The proposal shows how to solve the huge debt of government and stimulate the gloomy economy. We believe that the new concept of “Social Capitalism” in this proposal would help world economy in future.

Testimony of a Uyghur woman who lived in Japan and became a naturalized citizen. If her young brother is captured and accuses her of too much horrific oppression in her homeland in Japan, not only herself but also her relatives are interrogated on her behalf. There is no contact with his family. Even in Japan, the Chinese Communist Party continues to monitor and threaten me every day. Unthinkable human rights violations are occurring in our neighboring country. I want as many people as possible to know about this. And these women, who are being invaded and oppressed by China, are also sounding the alarm to us, Japanese people.

This is a photo book. The city is there. people are in the picture. The car, the trees, the walls of the building, the reflection of light, the water droplets, the empty sky, the lively voice, the breath, the rusty door, the old window, the seasonless wind... It is reflected. The city was alive and dead. People are there and not there. Ahead of the deformed line of sight, fragments of a familiar scene, neither cold nor warm, are superimposed. In his photographic expression, there is no trace of existing aesthetics, conceptual, abstract, or installation. No intention to see or be seen. No idiosyncratic style, no special gimmicks or approaches, no story. Not etheric, not astral, not mental. A photograph collection that questions the roots of existence, with pictures of cities that are neither ordinary nor extraordinary, taken from angles that are neither disorderly nor orderly.　これは写真集である。そこには街が写っている。人が写っている。車が、木々が、建物の壁が、光の反射が、水滴が、虚ろな空が、賑やかな声が、吐息が、錆びた扉が、古ぼけた窓が、季節を失った風が……写っている。その街は、生きていて、死んでいた。人々は、そこに居て、そこに居ない。デフォルメされた視線の先に、冷たくもなく温かくもない、見覚えのある情景の断片が重なっている。その写真表現には、既存の美意識やコンセプチュアル、抽象、インスタレーションの痕跡がない。見ること、見られることへの意図もない。特異なスタイル、特別な仕掛けやアプローチ、ストーリー性もない。エーテル的でも、アストラル的でも、メンタル的でもない。雑然とでもなく、整然とでもないアングルで切り取られた、日常でもなく、非日常でもない街の絵姿が、存在の根源を問いかける写真集。

“Since the taste of leftover wine gets worse and worse after opening the bottle, you must drink up the wine in the bottle after opening it” “You should combine Burgundy lamb dishes when you take this certain wine”….Are these “useful” instructions really correct?

At long last, this underground Japanese classic has been translated into English. A seminal work of manga from the mid-1980s, Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby is a Candide-esque tale--if you can picture Candide as a mutated sperm brought to life by radioactivity. Unremittingly explicit, this is the comics equivalent of Henry Miller at his best: direct, honest and insightful while simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. Tokyo-based Takashi Nemoto, who was born in 1958, has been called the R. Crumb of Japan: Nemoto and Crumb share a similar, surreal drawing style and pessimistic, satirical stance, for which both have faced their share of negative criticism. Due to his unapologetically squalid subject matter, Nemoto has long been a controversial figure in Japan--clashing violently with mainstream Japanese morals--and is just now receiving some critical success there. Reviewers are finally looking past his gross-out humor to find far-flung influences and connections like Mark Twain, Otto Dix and Andre Masson.

Yoshida Shigeru is widely regarded as a pivotal figure in early postwar Japanese history―someone who guided the nation through those difficult years with a clear vision and a firm hand. Yet much of his success, this book argues, was mandated by circumstances, and he was more a practical politician than an ideologue wedded to any particular “ism”. Particularly lauded by Yoshida admirers are his adroit fending off of pressures to remilitarize, including during the Korean War years, and his accompanying focus on economic recovery as the nation struggled to get back on its feet. Yet the decision not to rearm had already been made in the postwar Constitution’s Article 9, and Yoshida was more affirming Occupation policy than breaking new ground. Indeed, his policy pronouncements in this area largely channeled MacArthur’s thinking throughout SCAP’s reign. Pushing that thought one step further, Ambassador Okazaki contends that the acceptance of Article 9 was part of a grand bargain with MacArthur: Japan would forsake rearmament and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East would not put the Emperor in the dock for war crimes. Taking issue with the conventional wisdom, Okazaki further maintains that many Occupation policies (e.g., women’s suffrage and agrarian reform) would have been adopted in the course of building upon prewar democratization initiatives even were there no Occupation. Significantly, these reforms, unlike zaibatsu dissolution and the purge, for example, were not rescinded once Japan regained its independence in 1952. Pulling together testimony from a wide variety of informed sources, this solidly argued treatise roundly rejects the Tokyo Trials, both their conduct and their verdicts, and paints a picture of Japan laboring under a capricious autocracy in the Occupation years. This is an insightful work that demands serious consideration by everyone interested in Japan past, present, and future.

Do you know that 30% of primary school students and 65% of high school students have myopia in Japan? Also, do you know that progressive myopia leads to blindness? Now, children with myopia are rapidly increasing all over the world. It is at a level where you would want to declare it as pandemic. However, the real cause is unknown. Here, I present you with the breakthrough method to prevent and halt myopia which may overturn the prevailing theory that "myopia cannot be prevented." ---Expert taken from the chapter「Introduction」--- Do you sense, as I do, that myopia is increasing among children? There seems to be a general uneasiness among parents who suspect that their children in the community are increasingly nearsighted. Suddenly, it seems everybody is nearsighted. This uptick in nearsightedness is not just a localized phenomenon. In recent years, the entire world has seen a rise in myopia. The 2013 School Health Statistics Survey by MEXT (the Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology) revealed that primary school students with uncorrected visual acuity (VA) of 0.3 or less had more than tripled since 1979. Moreover, the percentage of those with unaided vision of less than 0.3 rises with age (33% in 2013); the data showed that 65% of high school students had naked-eye vision of less than 1.0. Of all the theories proposed to date, the only one bearing truth is that outdoor play helps suppress myopia. Although longer periods of outdoor activity seem preferable, researchers disagree on the required duration, suggestions range from 1 hour per day to 14 hours per week. As nobody knows why playing outdoor helps prevent myopia and its mechanism remains unknown, it is impossible to set guidelines on duration.
