[Noah Smith, “The Japan that Abe Shinzo made,” Noahpinion, June 4, 2022] この半世紀で最重要の首相がもたらした3つの大きな変化 今回で，日本に関するシリーズは5本目になる．これが最後だ．第1回目（翻訳）では，日本の生活水準が低めなことを嘆いて，現金ベースの福祉政策を提案した．第2回目（翻訳）では，日本が経済成長を加速させるのに使えそうな産業政策をいくつか提案した．第3回目では，日本の停滞した企業文化とその直し方を論じた．第4回目では，日本のポップカルチャーに関する2冊の本の書評を書いて，日本が経済面で衰退しつつもそのポップカルチャーが世界を制覇したあらましについて述べた． この20年というもの，定期的に日本を訪れている．でも，今回の日本旅行ではとくに強い印象を受けた．2002年にはじめて日本に来たときから，この国の感触
神社の政治利用から初詣ラッシュまで 「ル・モンド」紙がみた“神道のいま”
しばしば国際的な争点ともなる靖国神社と異なり、あまり議論されることのない伊勢神宮。だが、目と鼻の先の伊勢志摩でG7サミットが開催されたことからもわかる通り、政治的な存在感は高い。仏高級紙は、この伊勢神宮を切り口に、「神道と日本政治」について深い議論を展開している。 日本では常に曖昧な「宗教と政治」の関係 白い小石を敷き詰めた地面に建てられた柱の上に、明るい色の木造の建造物が建っている。とんがった屋根は茅葺きで、棟木は金色の鰹木で飾られている。 ここ伊勢神宮内宮は、訪れた人が戸惑うほどの簡素さに満ちているが、日本で最も崇められている場所だ。日本の神話で、皇室の祖神とされる天照大神が祀られているからである。 安倍晋三首相が、2016年5月のG7サミットで各国首脳を迎えるのに、この神道の聖地を選んだのには下心があったはずだ。しかし、先進国首脳会議を伊勢神宮の目と鼻の先で開催し、各国首脳を神宮参拝
Japanese PM's plan to allow troops to fight overseas angers voters
Growing opposition could threaten Abe’s recent promise to Barack Obama that he will enact legislation currently being debated in parliament later this summer. Article 9 of the postwar constitution, written by US occupation officials, prohibits Japan from threatening or using force as means of settling international disputes. Successive administrations in Tokyo have interpreted that to mean that tr

Abe agonistes
MORE than most countries, Japan has long wished to remain divorced from the world’s worries, which seldom reach its shores (the last terrorist attack, in 1995, was home-grown). So the news that Islamic State (IS) had murdered a second Japanese hostage, Kenji Goto, brought anguish to many. It also shone a light on the foreign-policy ambitions of the prime minister, Shinzo Abe. Mr Goto, a noted war
Japan PM Shinzo Abe in Islamic State 'hostages' vow
Japanese PM Shinzo Abe says the apparent threat to kill the hostages is "unforgivable" Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has condemned an apparent threat by the Islamic State group to kill two Japanese hostages. A video purportedly from the group shows a militant threatening to kill two hostages unless a ransom is paid. In the video, which has not been independently verified, the militant also cr
Moment of reckoning
Moment of reckoningShinzo Abe’s expected victory in next week’s snap election will leave him no excuse for further backsliding on structural reform THERE is little doubt that Shinzo Abe, Japan’s prime minister, sees himself as a leader with an historic mission. In an interview with The Economist, he recalled the revolutionaries from his home prefecture of Yamaguchi who in the 1860s overthrew the o
Abe’s last chance
Abe’s last chanceJapan desperately needs economic reform; Shinzo Abe still offers the best chance of that TWO years ago Shinzo Abe ran for office vowing to end Japan’s long economic malaise by banishing deflation and smashing the old habits that impeded growth. He promised to make a country suffering a collapse in confidence once again stand tall. Mr Abe won the election in a landslide, yet barely
Abe’s demons
JAPAN’S imperious newspapers rarely issue apologies; two in six months is unheard of. In August, the liberal Asahi Shimbun admitted running stories based on discredited testimony by a former Japanese soldier who said he had corralled Korean women into wartime military brothels. Last week, the Asahi’s conservative archrival, Yomiuri Shimbun, said sorry to its 10m readers for using the term “sex sla
Japan PM's liberal newspaper critic is humbled by errors
TOKYO (Reuters) - It was a rare role reversal for Japan’s influential Asahi newspaper, which is known for exposing wrongdoing in high places, when its president stood before cameras to bow, apologise and pledge to restore his organisation’s credibility.

首相 朝日新聞記事で日本の名誉傷ついた NHKニュース
安倍総理大臣はニッポン放送のラジオ番組に出演し、いわゆる従軍慰安婦の問題を巡って朝日新聞が一部の記事を取り消したことに関連して、誤報によって多くの人が苦しみ、国際社会で日本の名誉が傷つけられたという認識を示しました。 この中で安倍総理大臣は、朝日新聞が先に、いわゆる従軍慰安婦の問題を巡る自社のこれまでの報道を検証する特集記事を掲載し、一部を取り消したことなどについて、「個別の報道機関の報道内容の是非に関してコメントすべきではないと思うが、例えば慰安婦問題の誤報によって多くの人が苦しみ、国際社会で日本の名誉が傷つけられたことは事実と言っていいと思う」と述べました。 そのうえで安倍総理大臣は「一般論として申し上げれば、報道は国内外に大きな影響を与え、時としてわが国の名誉を傷つけることがある。そういうことも十分に認識しながら、責任ある態度で正確で信用性の高い報道が求められているのではないかと思う
Opinion | Japan’s destructive denialism
Opinion Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events “PREPOSTEROUS,” SAID a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Tokyo. That is a charitable characterization of ahistorical and offensive statements by leaders of Japan’s public broadcasting network, NHK. First it was Katsuto Momii, the newly installed head of the network, wh
