Japan's legacy in the Philippines

Though I applaud the sincerity of the Japanese government in fostering friendship with Filipinos through a program of honoring Filipinos born of Japanese, I just hope more can be done. War and its atrocities have brought miseries that will forever be remembered by both our peoples. Neither Japanese nor...

Bad month to start a new job

Regarding the Oct. 17 article "Unions want Nova, president indicted over payroll delays": My son arrived in Japan in early September after assurances from the U.K. end of the Nova (conversation school) organization that there were no real problems.

Training trumps escalator design

Regarding the Oct. 17 article "Boy's head gets trapped between escalator, wall": Although I can sympathize over this tragedy, when is the real problem -- children riding escalators/elevators with no training or adult supervision -- going to be addressed?

Charity begins at home

I was very interested in Yuri Tomikawa's article. This summer I had a chance to see "The Annunciation" by Leonardo da Vinci at the National Art Museum in Ueno, Tokyo.

Revisionist nonsense unfurled

Regarding Hisahiko Okazaki's Oct. 12 article, "Fukuda could resolve Yasukuni issue by visiting": Okazaki sounds like someone who clearly has no understanding of what the Yasukuni issue actually is.

Human tragedies amid the gloss

Regarding Yuri Tomikawa's Oct. 16 Zeit Gist article, "The faces behind the numbers: A day feeding Tokyo's hungry": Thank you for bringing this story to the hearts of readers.

Yasukuni visit not foreordained

In his Oct. 12 article, Hisahiko Okazaki writes that the time is ripe for Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to visit Yasukuni Shrine because Beijing has no choice but to restrain itself from provoking Chinese people into anti-Japanese demonstrations.

The power of telling tales versus making apologies

In his new book, "The Political Brain," Drew Westen analyzes in detail the election debates of 2000 between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Westen points out that it was Gore's dispassionate approach to issues that hurt him. Bush, then as now, presents himself as someone who knows what is right (and moral)...

EU as Mideast player, not just a payer

PRAGUE — The European Union's policy in the Middle East is the litmus test of its common foreign and security policy. Many Europeans share this belief, but as the EU considers entering the fray of Middle East peace talks, it must respond to former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's jibe that in...
