You can see WW2 memorials at Hiroshima. I've never been to Hiroshima. I'd like to visit there. As for a imitation sword, a Japanese sword can be bought for about ten thousand yen. If you have much money, you can buy a real sword, but you may not be able to bring it back to your country. I think it may not get through cutoms. I'll study more about this.
You can see WW2 memorials in a city called Hiroshima. I would love to but I've never been there before. If you want a Japanese sword, you can buy a cheap replica for about \10,000. If you want a real one, it is possible to buy one but it costs a lot. Besides, you won't make it through the customs when you get out of this country. I would research about it more.

>>61 The ideal way of various media is asked today. Because people's concepts are formed with media, media are very important. The government is sure not to brainwash the people ruling media.
However, how to handle media is different because of the country. There is a country that neatly admits the freedom of a legal expression, and the government criticism such as China etc. have the restricted country by the government like Japan. Then, it is necessary to admit the freedom of expression in media. It is useful also for people's concept formations to be able to do a free report the government to criticize.
There is no such a thing when Japan sees from Europe and America though the country tends to be seemed that a legal restraint has been received because of few of the number of media.
We should not be ruled by the government, and receive correct information from media.
>>61 The way of the present various media is questioned. By the media, because concept of the citizen is formed, the media very is important ones. Government controlling the media, the citizen does not have to be brainwashed, it is expectation. But method of handling the media is different depending upon the country. The Japanese way, if there is also a country which recognizes the freedom of legal expression securely with government, as for the Chinese and the like government criticism and the like there is also a country which is regulated. It becomes necessary then to recognize the freedom of expression in the media. Being able to do, free reporting such as government criticism it is useful to also the conceptual formation of the citizen. Japan when you see from Europe and America, the number of media is little, it is tend to be thought, that legal restraint is received the empty, depending upon the country, but there is no such a thing. We must receive correct information from the media without being controlled in government.

Famous performances of performing art or classical music used to be held in just a limited locations such as Tokyo. But now, people in small cities throughout Japan also have a chance to experience these events since they built facilities which meet the demand of these art form. I think local people are looking forward to your concert. Sometimes a ballet performance is aired on TV, so if your concert is aired, I definately want to watch it.

>>606 >中国の算数の教科書には、〜 I have heard that the something like below is written in the school textbooks in China. In the textbook of arithmetic, question for the practice of addition. “A Japanese killed two Chinese people. The next day he killed 3 people. Then how many people were killed in total?” This kind of school textbooks in China should be reconsidered, before finding fault with textbooks in Japan. And the Japanese contribution to China such as ODA should be mentioned in the school textbooks of social study in China.
★Chinese government doesn’t disclose to its people the facts which are unfavorable to the government.
According to the Japan-China agreement of exchange of journalists, Chinese government kicked out the press reporters who made unfavorable reports against them. Thanks to their own efforts, they were put in 162nd place among 166 countries in the ranking of World Press Freedom, published in 2004 by Reporters Without Borders. This shameful record shows that China is not qualified as a Superpower.
>>633 In Japan, there is a sales campaign in which you can buy an original figure by collecting the labels stuck to Pepsi Cola. In your place, this kind of campaign is carried out also?
>>606 ★中国は【 考え方の基礎のレベルで世界中の誰とも共存不可能。】 ★It’s impossible to live together with Chinese people, because they are lacking the basic human common sense.
China is so rude that they don’t send any personnel to the signing ceremony and instead ask to send the document to them for signing in spite that they are given the ODA from Japan amounting to 3,333,400 million yen in total. They are still aiming their missiles at major cities in Japan, though they have received the money. Their way is “bite the hand that feeds them”
Chinese government always try hard to hide from the eyes of its people any debt and obligation from Japan.
Chinese government doesn’t tell its own people the fact that they are given the Official Development Assistance from Japan. Even in the ceremony of reception of ODA, the chairman of the time Jiang Ze Min just said “evaluated” instead of any words of gratitude. And what is worse, he criticized the visit to Yasukuni shrine of Japan’s Prime Minister Koizumi in the ceremony. In China, there doesn’t exist the mind of gratitude.
China is found in the 2nd worst place in the race of the unpayment rate of contribution to Peace Keeping Operation of United Nations. (Worst is South Korea.)
The unpayment rate of major countries are as follows: South Korea 65%, China 64%, German 25%, France 31%, Italy 31%, U.S.A 41%. Japan already paid all the due contribution sincerely, so Japan’s unpayment rate is 0%. China and Korea occupied the shameful place in the ranking. This is because the World Peace is not their business in China and Korea.

Yoshiko is also very curious lady and have tried a lot of things. She have got a car licence A and joined some car races. And also she is good at cooking and sewing .
Chinese way is to frame up a false history for their convenience when the diplomatic negotiation becomes adverse to them.
They promote to the rest of the world the fairy tale that during the world war U 300,000 people was killed by Japanese army in Nangking, where there were actually only 200,000 people (And the number of the victims is increased by the Chinese government.). The brains of their people were washed to become fond of this miraculous romance that one military force killed more people than the nuclear weapon is supposed to do, although only some hundreds thousand people was killed even by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.
But when Japan proposes to study together to find out what was really happened in Nangking, what they can think of is just to refuse to listen to it in order to keep the fairy tale from coming out to be false.
Plagiarism is a national sport in China. Japanese pharmaceutical company applied for the patent of new drug to the Chinese authority in 1994, and 4 years later Chinese company applied for the patent of the same drug. Then the patent was registered on the Chinese company in 2000. In China plagiarism is a nation-wide sport assisted by the government, not a crime.
A Japanese publisher started selling in Shanghai the character goods featuring a popular cartoon “Crayon Shinchan”, which is very popular also in China. But those character goods were removed from the shops because they infringe the right of trademark in China. It was found that the pirated copy of the character was already registered to Chinese authority and what happened in China is that the original goods infringed the right of the pirated copy.
The publisher in January claimed to the Chinese authority that the trademark right of the pirated copy should be canceled. They succeeded in shutting out the pirated copy of their products in 2002 when they started selling the comic books in China. Therefore they says that “they like to make steady efforts also this time to drive out the copy goods from the market.”
