It's the most beautiful season in my garden now. All the spring flowers and blossoms are blooming, but not so big weeds yet. Under the cherry tree in the garden we had lunch with friends who visited us today. Our grandsons and their friends tried fishing in the river nearby(but caught none!) and found a snake and played with it!!! We have holidays in this beautiful season and so many people enjoy going out or having picnic. The families that have boys put carp streamers high up on the pole in this season.
The US President Obama visited Japan and talked with the Primeminister Abe. Obama's main purpose must be to put Japan a pressure about the TPP, and the government of Japan probably made some secret deal. At the same time Obama expressed his approval for Abe's politics to change our constitution and join USA's war. It made Abe and his followers so happy and I scare that they are encouraged. Obama said the Asian nations should find a way to get together, not militarily, but Abe seems not to understand it but occupied with war games. TV news and shows made a fuss that they called each other by their first names, or they went to a famous sushi restaurant, and they said the sushi was the best they have ever had, and so on.
I was shocked to read Henmi You, one of the most intellectuals in Japan, I think, about the situation of recent Japan. He describes it as a society of "Ignorance is power" and has anticipation that the time of violence we have never experienced will come He is asking us and himself if we are prepared to fight against the fascism even if we are alone. He thinks now is the crisis of the slight hope left in Japan. He also thinks the war between China and Japan can be happen, because of the stupidness of both countries.
