Dear our ESS members!
Youji Imai
Here are the advanced informations on Practice of March 11th.
As they said, last year was very remarkable to Japan because of ex-President Mr.Obama’s visit to Hiroshima and Prime Minister Abe’s visit to Pearl Harbor. It goes without saying that Pearl Harbor was the symbol of the Pacific War’s start, Hiroshima was it’s end. In other word, the Pacific War was started by Japan’s surprise attack then it was finished with Japan’s Unconditional Surrender.
Last year was the year of the end of the big historical span named “ After World War Ⅱ“.
Shouldn’t we recognize correctly fruits and losses brought by perfect defeat in the Pacific War?
Why don’t we confirm what we lost and gained as Japanese with the World War Ⅱ ？
The practice on March 11th will be a sort of group study.
We will make 5 or 6 groups, a reporter will be appointed in the beginning.
The reporter shall ask questions and summarize his members answers.
Lists of questions are to provided in advance.
After restudy and discussion on the list, each reporter announces it’s
summary to other groups.
Even though there must be hard and delicate titles and questions, don’t be hesitant nor passive in discussions, I hope.
An important hint is , without doubt, the Japan Constitution is one of main issues.
Thank you.
