Apology late but courageous

Regarding the Oct. 24 article "Vivisectionist recalls his day of reckoning": I would like to pass along my thanks to former Japanese Army surgeon Ken Yuasa for having the courage to try to atone for what he has done.

When to show the alien card

I think the Oct. 28 Timeout article "Masters of all they survey" does a disservice to foreigners when it mentions, without fully stating the law, that police have the right to request to see a foreigner's alien registration card. Police may do so only if a foreigner is suspected of committing a crime...

Loss of trust in employers

Regarding the Oct. 28 letter "Bureaucratic disaster all around": The author is most correct in predicting the ramifications stemming from the Nova scandal.

Requests won't move U.S.

Regarding Manuel Sandoval's Oct. 25 letter, Don't judge marines too fast": Sandoval says if we don't like Americans protecting Japan, then the American military can just leave and Japan can fend for itself.

Silly references in editorial

I'm neither a rightwinger nor a racist, but the Oct. 29 editorial, "China and Japan," disgusted me. It says at one point that "Many other Chinese leaders . . . also spent time in Japan . . . a fact that is ignored on both sides of Sea of Japan, or the East Sea, depending on your point of view."

Not so welcome to Japan any longer

HONG KONG — Japan is still purporting to celebrate "Yokoso Japan" or Welcome to Japan — just as it is preparing to inflict on every foreign visitor measures that are harassing, time-consuming, unnecessary, and would be illegal if done to Japanese citizens in Japan.

CCP changes but elitism remains intact

HONG KONG — Oh, what a difference a few decades make! Back in the days of Chairman Mao Zedong and his little red book, China was proud to proclaim the Communist Party as the party of workers, peasants and soldiers.

Art al fresco in Daikanyama

Years ago, Daikanyama was one of those places you could visit for a bit of peace and quiet in Tokyo. It had beautiful tree-lined streets and lovely old traditional Japanese houses. There was also a slightly bohemian edge to it, with small independent shops and galleries littered among the back alleys....

Eyes on Japan's crazed radicalism, twisted psychology

This year's Tokyo International Film Festival was a bit different for me. For the first time since 2003 I was not on the jury for Japanese Eyes, a section spotlighting Japanese movies that might otherwise get lost in the glare of big commercial releases. This gave me more leeway to pick and choose what...

Skin goes only so deep

Nothing has changed since Aristotle noted a couple of thousand years ago that "it is not possible without considerable disgust to look upon the blood, flesh and similar parts of which the human body is constructed." Much here in "Skin of/in Contemporary Art," at the National Museum of Art, Osaka, until...

Rice industry is out of touch

The debate on rice in this country never ceases to amaze me. With a population of ever-expanding cosmopolitans, the thought of living on a staple of rice to ensure that the Japanese rice industry survives is not only self-serving but also a plan that is doomed to the ashes of the 20th century.
