About the Author: Nobuhiko Hosaka was born in Yamanashi, Japan in 1945 and currently lives in Tokyo. He is a film director known for his stories about humanity. He has also been involved in the creation of many documentaries and animated films. He has a novel visual sense and his works are acclaimed as part of Japan’s Nouvelle Vague genre in the 1980s. Translation:Junko Ishizuka About the Book: This story, “Two in Hiroshima,” was written by Nobuhiko Hosaka, a film director, based on an original script specially written for him by the famous screenplay writer, Ryuzo Kikushima, who wrote a number of scripts for Kurosawa movies. “Two in Hiroshima” is a drama centered around the catastrophic event on August 6, 1945, and portrays the friendship between an American soldier and a Japanese soldier, as well as the tragic experience of the atomic bomb that destroyed the friendship. By taking the viewpoints of two main characters of different nationalities, the author questions the meaning of the tragedy of war and tries to convey the hope that even enemies can understand each other. It’s a “story of humanity transcending both time and nationality,” created to keep the horrific tragedy of war from fading from our memories.

“A solution without a solution.” In 1965, a secret pact concluded between the leaders of Japan and South Korea quietly shelved the territorial dispute over the island of Takeshima (Dokdo), setting the course for normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Several well-known figures were active in the complex and convoluted political maneuvering and backroom negotiations that helped bring the pact to fruition. For the first time ever, this book-including personal accounts from those who were directly involved-reveals the painstaking work behind the scenes to mend the fraught relationship between Japan and South Korea by conceiving the most subtle of solutions. And yet the pact and all that it achieved would mysteriously be erased from history. How and why did this happen? Winner of the Asia Pacific Award, Japan, Korea, and the Takeshima Secret Pact is a fascinating look into the intricate process of mending diplomatic relations and the small island that was the center of it all.

Iku was only 10 years old. She and her 6-yr. old brother traveled 340 miles on land, mostly on foot, day and night, with little food, clothing, or money while holding each other’s hands. What kept them going every day? It was the promise that they made to their mother? “Never let go of each other’s hand and safely return to Japan to be reunited with everyone.” They simply wanted to see Mommy again. This is a true story of war, not of who’s on the right side and who’s on the wrong side, or who was crueler than the other, but how war impacts people everywhere, including innocent children, like Iku and her siblings. Most importantly, this book demonstrates how love, courage and determination can see us through the most difficult times. 70 years after the end of World War II, Iku finally decided to let her daughter, Izumi, tell her story to the whole world, hoping her ordeal will play a small part in contributing to world peace. All the illustrations in this book are done by Iku herself. Originally published in Japanese in 2016, this English version is now available to spread Iku’s inspiring story across the world.

Ishibumi: A memorial to the atomic annihilation of 321 students of Hiroshima Middle School, is one of the enduring Japanese classics in atomic bomb literature since its publication in 1970. Made available for the first time in English in 2016 to coincide with former President Barack Obama’s historic visit to Hiroshima. Ishibumi presents more than just horrific stories of 321 young male students of ages 12-13, who were killed by the atomic bomb. One-thirds of them perished instantaneously and the remaining two-thirds suffered a slow and painful death. It describes the uncompromised bond of family kinship, and how children tried to make sense of their fate as Imperial subjects in wartime. Their courage facing deaths and their yearnings to see their parents one more time, compels us to reflect on why they were placed in this crisis. The vernacular daily language is accessible to all generations and, of course, the seriousness of this subject sadly remains relevant to all of us today.　『いしぶみ――広島二中一年生全滅の記録』は、1970年の刊行以来、日本の原爆文学における不朽の名作として知られています。2016年には、オバマ前大統領の歴史的な広島訪問に合わせて英語版が刊行されました。この本は、原爆で命を落とした12歳から13歳までの男子生徒321人の悲惨な物語を紹介しているだけではありません。原爆によって、生徒の3分の1は即死、残りの3分の2はゆっくりとつらい死を遂げました。本書には、家族の絆という揺るぎない絆と、戦時下の帝国臣民としての運命を理解しようとする子どもたちの姿が描かれています。死と向き合う彼らの勇気と、もう一度親に会いたいという願いを読むと、彼らがなぜこのような危難に遭ったのかをあらためて考えさせられます。本書には、生徒たちの語る言葉が誰にでも読めるかたちで書かれています。そしてこのテーマの深刻さは、悲しいかな、現代の私たちにも関係しているのです。

Following its decisive victory at the Battle of Sekigahara, all that stood in the way of the Tokugawa Clan and total domination of Japan was the Toyotomi Clan. Hell-bent on seeing the Toyotomi faction extinguished, Tokugawa devised what would be the final and decisive confrontation - the “Summer Siege of Osaka.” With the advantage of sheer numbers on Tokugawa’s side, the defeat of Toyotomi seemed inevitable…until a mastermind general by the name of Sanada Yukimura and his small force rose up to thwart Tokugawa’s designs. The final battle between the two would represent the final page in a significant chapter in Japan’s history…

Lying in the Sea of Japan between Japan and the Korean Peninsula sits Takeshima, two islets surrounded by numerous rocks. At present, the issue of sovereignty over Takeshima remains contested between Japan and the Republic of Korea. Historically, the area has been the site of many interactions between Japanese and Koreans and is especially tied to the history of Japan’s southwestern San’in region. Shimane Prefecture native and teacher of regional history Sugihara Takashi brings this rich history into relief by tracing the many stories that unfolded in the region, from the hunting of sea lions on Takeshima to the peaceful coexistence of Japanese and Koreans living side by side on the nearby island of Ulleungdo. Takeshima and its history remain ever present in the hearts of the Japanese people and the story of this important region.

The Tokyo Trial, like the Nuremberg Trial, was unique as a judicial event. Presided over by eleven Allied judges, Japan’s wartime leaders were individually tried in an international court of justice for crimes against international law. After two years of hearings, a majority judgment found twenty-five of the accused guilty; seven were sentenced to death. However, factionalism amongst justices and competing political interests served to undermine the final judgment, widely criticized as “victors’ justice.” Some seventy years later, its legacy continues to inform international politics and polarize ideological debate. In this revised English edition of his 2008 book, Tokyo Saiban, winner in the History and Civilization category of the 30th Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities, eminent political scientist Dr. HIGURASHI Yoshinobu sets aside routine ideological approaches that have characterized study of the tribunal until now and focuses our attention on the engrossing political dynamics surrounding the Tokyo Trial and its current impacts. Drawing on exhaustive research into foreign policy documents and inter-ministerial correspondence, Higurashi traces the contours of diplomacy in the wake of World War II, revisiting the Tokyo Trial from the viewpoint of Japan’s postwar international relations to shed new light on an event unprecedented in world history.

A Bilingual Introduction to the Philosophy of Ninomiya Sontoku Discover the timeless Japanese values behind modern Japan’s spirit. In 1912, Canadian missionary R.C. Armstrong published a remarkable book in the United States about a humble yet influential Japanese thinker: Ninomiya Sontoku. Though born into poverty as a farmer, Sontoku’s teachings on ethics and diligence earned him national respect―and a place in Representative Men of Japan by Uchimura Kanzo, a renowned Japanese Christian thinker. ・ “Though a farmer, he possessed the true spirit of the samurai.” - R.C. Armstrong ・ “He surpasses many of the great sages of the East.” ・ “His philosophy perfectly aligns with the spirit of Christ.” Now, this long-forgotten work is revived in a bilingual (Japanese-English) edition, restructured for today’s readers. It features key excerpts from Armstrong’s original 1912 text alongside clear modern commentary by renowned Japanese biographer Kita Yasutoshi. Who Was Ninomiya Sontoku? A self-taught moral philosopher from rural Japan, Sontoku taught values such as hard work, gratitude, social duty, and ethical leadership. His ideas still echo in Japanese society today―in the precision of a train conductor, the humility of a shopkeeper, and the quiet sense of responsibility in everyday life. A Unique Reading Experience This book offers two distinct English voices: ・ Armstrong’s early 20th-century prose, rich in historical tone ・ Kita’s modern English commentary, providing clarity and insight Rather than a full translation of the original, this edition presents a carefully selected collection of its most powerful and relevant parts. Armstrong, with the help of Japanese Christians, based his study on authentic sources like the Hotoku-ki (a biographical account of Sontoku’s life) and Ninomiya O Yawa (a collection of stories and teachings attributed to him). In his preface, Armstrong wrote: “I have attempted to bring out, wherever possible, the common human side of Japanese character… and hope that what is here presented may at least help to give those who read it a broader sympathy for that wonderful people.” Whether you're interested in Japanese culture, Eastern philosophy, or timeless moral teachings, this book offers a rare and rewarding perspective on the values that continue to shape Japan.

The Japan-US Security Treaty was first signed in 1951, coinciding with the end of Allied occupation and Japan’s recovery of independence in the early postwar era, and subsequently revised in 1960 to correct various inadequacies and alleviate a sense of inequality felt on the Japanese side. Its basic structure, namely providing bases in exchange for the guarantee of US security of Japan, however, remains unchanged. This English edition of diplomatic historian SAKAMOTO Kazuya’s highly acclaimed Nichi-Bei domei no kizuna (The Bonds of the Japan-US Alliance; 2000, rev. ed. 2020), winner of the 22nd Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities, carefully depicts the sensitive negotiations and diplomatic finesse behind the establishment and revision of the Japan-US Security Treaty, highlighting the challenges experienced by the two countries to promote mutuality then and later. Drawing on previously undisclosed confidential documents and new research developments on the issue of secret agreements, which were brought to light during the Ministry of Foreign Affairs investigation in 2009-10, the author added a new chapter with updated notes for his revised 2020 edition. Examining the far-reaching implications of these new historical materials, he puts forward the pressing question: What should be the future of Japan-US security cooperation?

All of you! Thanks for your reading our poems to the last one! In the world various children and adults are living along. But it is not that all of us are always living happy and merry days. Some of us suffer from sickness or wars. Some people live in hardships from poverty and the natural disasters like storms and quakes.

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.

With rapid advancement in development of artificial intelligences (AIs) and robots in the current world, some people predict that a society where robots and human beings coexist is approaching in the near future. However, I simply wonder if we could actually get along with robots in this world, where we cannot accept diversity even among the same human beings. If we had robots in this deeply divided world, would not it merely end up causing even greater chaos? I recently started researching on morality engine to control behavior of robots. Simply put, I study how to make robots distinguish good and evil by themselves for the upcoming future when robots and human beings coexist. The concept of morality for robots is not anything new. Back in 1940s, for example, an American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov started introducing his famous Three Laws of Robotics in his novels. The Three Laws are very well known, and some people even treat them like golden rules for robots to observe. However, to me, these Laws seem to hold significant problems and therefore to be unsuitable for practical purposes. As you read this book, you will be able to figure out the fundamental defect in the Laws. In order to study the moral engine with which to regulate robots, we need to first describe the moral framework of human beings. We can make possible such an attempt to model an abstract concept, by using an engineering way of thinking as a tool. In this book, I would like to think about this framework together with you, using as simple and easy words as possible. If we can model human morality, we will be able to install it onto brains of robots. If we can build a moral system that robots and human beings – mutually different existences – can share, it will in turn help us to overcome divisions resulting from differences in standpoints among human beings, and to further develop an inclusive and diverse society. Using such a new moral system, I would like to establish alternative principles to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics and to think about the possibility of a society where human beings and robots coexist. Morality and robots may seem to have nothing in common — but by looking at the point where these two areas actually cross, we will be able to see principles of a future society that we human beings should aim at. Throughout this intensive seminar, we are going to freely and widely develop our arguments. I plan to also provide you with a summary and practice exercises at the end of each session to help deepen your understanding. Let us make ourselves ready for thinking outside the box, digging deep into our imagination. Contents Introduction Session 1. Is the “You Shall Not Kill” Rule Universal? Session 2. Classifying Prior Moral Thoughts Session 3. You Shall Not Kill… Whom? Session 4. Modeling the Basic Principle of Morality Session 5. Classifying Hierarchy of Morality Session 6.
