Sadly... The world is swaying by the strong fake propaganda news.

.

How are you going guys!!.

After written the last article... I just thought that the story why we claiming our rights on Takeshima Islands is lack of explanation.

So... today... Adding more precise explanations for you to make a right decisions on this dispute.

As you know every Japanese are keeping to believe in the strong mindset of "all mankinds are fundamentally in good" from the beginning of our history.

So if somebody get angry on us, We lean toward the feeling in "Shouganai", It is meaning that "Whatever", "Does not matter", "It can not be helped" something like that in our mindset.

I think that our mindset is very beautiful when we have spoken that phrase with the meaning of "accept others as they are".

However,  due to have that mindset, if the opponent becomes aggressive, the Japanese will soon apologize even if we do not think we are bad.

You might think it very strange though.

But literally... even if we are correct,  ordinary Japanese people make apologize to others in that situation.

That is because, even if we are correct, we strongly believe that it is much better to accept all angers with the feeling of sacrificing self than wrecking the peaceful beautiful smiling atmosphere of that place.

If you can't believe it, listen Japanese pop songs which have recommended in the past articles and read the lyrics carefully.

See... You might feel my words are correct ... maybe??.

But in diplomacy with other countries, sometimes that typical splendor in Japanese attitude, it may give a feeling of our weakness against other countries.

So... the seemingly weak Japanese government attitude has given certain foreign governments the opportunity to become more arrogant against Japanese.

I think that unique mindset is the root of which causing all the troubles today.

It can be seen in the trouble like "Takeshima Islands or Dokdo Islands issue" in today.

It's a very complicated and awkward issue for the people living in overseas but this is a very serious matter relating with the world peace also.

So...Please read the below history facts to make the right decision... if you have a curiosity so far.

【The oldest map of Takeshima in 1656 by a Japanese local government on that time.】.

【The map of Takeshima in 1724 published by a Samurai Lord.】.

Since before 1656, as you can see in the above picture describes Japanese people are recognizing Takeshima Islands as the Japanese territory.

They used these islands as the fishery home base and some of fisherman and his families were literally been lived during the fishing periods.

This is the summary of official historical records on Takeshima Islands.

【The summary of Takeshima History.】.

★Japan.
*Japanese citizens were lived and used on Takeshima Islands more than before 1656.
*1905, Takeshima Islands were internationally authorized as the unique Japanese territory.

★Korea.
*Koreans have occupied Takeshima (Dokdo) Islands on 1953.
*Koreans had never been claimed that Takeshima Islands as own Korean territory against Japanese and the world before 1952.

【Severe violations after the Korean occupation.】.

★Serious violation acts by Koreans from 1952 to 1965.
*Captured 328 Japanese fishing boats and civilian ships.
*Detained 3,929 Japanese civilians.
*Killed 44 Japanese civilians.
*16 times of firing attack incidents had occurred against the Japan Coast guard ships.

★The actions taken by Japanese in response against these incidents.
*The Japan Coast Guard has not return even a single gunshot against the Korean army that aim to attack killing innocent Japanese from that time until today.
*The Japanese Coast Guard used own lives and ships as the shields to protect the lives of Japanese and other national civilians who were on board on fishing boats and passenger ships.
* At that time, Japan was occupied by allies in the United States, so the Japanese government restricted not to allow to fight against evil violations from Koreans.

This non-conflict philosophy which stand on "every human beings are fundamentally in good" is still important for the Japanese side and only making diplomatic protests against Korea even still in today.
