Sorry if I'm wrong. I think the Taniyama video that you recommend on your site is doing more harm than good in getting our message across to the English speaking audience. It is quite mindless to equate the Japanese internment during WWII to the US public's general ignorance of the truth on the comfort woman issue. Who would want to listen to what we have to say after that tirade? I hope you remove that video from you list.Hipsighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09753644330424681100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681795651890363072.post-30875145260632805442016-09-23T02:03:08.826+09:002016-09-23T02:03:08.826+09:00Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kidnapped ...Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kidnapped and raped. According to Korea, almost all sex slaves were killed or committed suicide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too.<br />An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I kidnapped 200 women and raped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first prostitute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura.<br />Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was kidnapped and raped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “shameful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kidnapped women and raped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Lies about Japan are not corrected in Korea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681795651890363072.post-11386622705178728512016-09-07T05:00:27.904+09:002016-09-07T05:00:27.904+09:00On Aug 30, 2016, the first public hearing was held...On Aug 30, 2016, the first public hearing was held for her criminal trial as she was indicted on the charge of defamation against the former comfort women.<br /><br />I read the book “The Comfort Women of the Empire.” While I do not agree with all of the pages of the book, I consider that her work should be respected and no such defamation charge should be placed upon her. <br /><br />It is quite natural that there was some sort of comradeship between the soldiers and comfort women. They lived near the front-line and all of them were in their 20s. Lee Yong-soo, an activist former comfort woman, once confessed that a Japanese Kamikaze pilot was her first love. There were many cases of marriage proposal from the soldiers.<br /><br />Is it the Inquisition or some sort of a witch trial in the 21st century? S. Korea is so influenced by anti-Japan religious cult that it seems the society fell into the state of insanity. There seems be no academic freedom. <br /><br />False Accusations of Comfort Women<br />http://www.howitzer.jp/korea/page03.html<br /><br /><br />laughing Salesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211535977570005380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681795651890363072.post-65258635385202152862016-06-23T00:49:36.986+09:002016-06-23T00:49:36.986+09:00Brilliant blog, and thank you for providing all th...Brilliant blog, and thank you for providing all this information. I'm tired of seeing the defamation of certain cultures/countries when such defamation is advantageous to the global powers that be, while the crimes of countries that came out victorious from WWII are never accounted for. The Armenian genocide issue by Turks is a similar matter. Meanwhile who will account for the booming child sex trade in Cambodia initiated by UN soldiers and perpetuated by American and European sex tourism?The Imam Faintedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15607157855544773914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681795651890363072.post-79194741156601578182016-06-20T00:29:43.456+09:002016-06-20T00:29:43.456+09:00It is indeed ironic that Japan is accused of slave...It is indeed ironic that Japan is accused of slavery when the institution of slavery was abolished under Japanese rule of Korea (1910-1945). During this period of annexation Japan faced the threat of Soviet communism and needed to quickly modernize Korea for Japan's own security, and thus heavily invested in building infrastructure, industries, agricultural innovations, modern medicine, system of education and governance including the judiciary. Approximately 80% of the police force was native Koreans. There was no reason or incentive for Japan to violate Korean people many of whom volunteered to fight for Japan.

It's sad that US scholars like Alexis Dudden and Margaret D. Stetz continue to ignore Korean and Japanese scholars' serious work, calling it revisionist, and continue to believe in the North Korean propaganda naively. If they had studied what Japanese rule of Korea was like, they wouldn't have believed in the sex slavery myth. Their ignorance and hubris know no bounds.
