”his face was like the sun” - An Apple Farmer, A Monk, and Space Aliens

An Apple Farmer, A Monk, and Space Aliens

Akinori Kimura (1949 - ), a famous Japanese organic apple farmer, once encountered space aliens who carried him into a UFO floating over his house in Aomori Prefecture.

There he was told by the space aliens that the end of the human civilization in the earth would start around 2030, which he was forbade revealing to the public, so that he decided to keep the fact secret...for a while.  At last Kimura revealed it to his friend Jyosen Takano (1955 - ), a Japanese Buddhist monk and UFO researcher, while dinking.

Takano had many experiences in pursuing the truth about UFOs especially in the United States of America, and he believed in Kimura whom Takano knew through agricultural work of which he was in charge as a civil servant in his home town in Japan. 

Takano was once a pubic servant in Ishikawa Prefecture in charge of agriculture. But before Takano became a civil servant in Ishikawa, he had been a TV broadcast writer in Tokyo focusing on UFO-related matters like Junichi Yaoi (1935 - ; another famous Japanese in terms of UFOs). Takano had once traveled to New York and got acquainted with Colman S. Vonkeviczky (born in Hungary in 1909) in the United Nations.  Takano could meet NASA executives and Apollo astronauts through Vonkeviczky's introduction.  But Takano was not safe always; he once had been intimidated by unknown men (from CIA?) when he visited Edward Teller (born  in Hungary in 1908), the "father of the hydrogen bomb."  He had discovered in the U. S. that the level of secrecy of UFOs was higher than that of the hydrogen bomb.  So, Takano visited Edward Teller to confirm it.  Then, he found that he should refrain from some dangerous acts.

However, Takano did not abandon his quest.  He even built the Cosmo Isle Hakui Space & Science Museum in Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture with the help of NASA and Russia's space agency when he became a civil servant in Hakui City after resigning from TV-related jobs.  Then Takano left the city hall to become a Buddhist monk in Ishikawa where he was born as a Buddhist priest's son; Takano finally inherited a temple.  

In this sense, Takano has been a unique Japanese who is a UFO researcher, ex-broadcast writer, and ex-civil servant, and now a Buddhist monk and the director of the Cosmo Isle Hakui Space & Science Museum.  But Takano has never lost his interest in UFOs.  Therefore, Kimura trusted Takano very much.

But Takano revealed the Kimura's story public on YouTube in the Internet.  Kimura also wrote the UFO-related facts in his books. Now, everybody in Japan interested in UFOs knows this truth.  However, space aliens have not stopped Kimura and Takano from spreading the warning.

As Kimura himself believes that the collapse of the material civilization is near, he is busy telling people to respect the nature and promoting organic farming (without using any pesticides).  It seems that space aliens in UFOs worry about human impact on the physical environment through nuclear energy abuse and pesticide contamination. 

However, space aliens seem not to help protect the environment of the earth.  They seem to just determine whether or not the humanity will survive.   And according to their predictions, the year of 2030 is critical for human survival as they told Kimura.

Indeed, some UK scientists have predicted that the Little Ice Age will begin in the earth in 2030, although it sounds a bit fishy.

However, AI in the human material civilization is further expanding its capability and scope of applications. The world will soon not be able to function without AI.  Even without AI's malice the human society will face a crisis, since there are too many bad and crazy guys in this world who might abuse power of AI.  And, the critical point in this concern seems to be around 2030.

Despite various efforts by Kimura and Takano, the world looks approaching the decisive moment whether or not you believe in space aliens and UFOs or otherwise AI's super-power in terms of survival of human beings in the earth. 

Anyway, it is a surprise that space aliens could detect Kimura's efforts to grow apples without using any chemical pesticides from far beyond hundreds of thousands of light-years away in the universe.  Kimura's way of growing apples without using pesticides so as not to harm the environment of the earth must appeal space aliens.  Indeed, they told Kimura in a UFO that his orchards had looked different in color from other farms, so that the space aliens had visited him and taken him to a UFO. 

The space aliens must surely use psychic power rather than advanced scientific technology currently known or to be known in future by the human beings on earth.

Finally, we had better develop human psychic power rather than accelerating AI's power or relying on space aliens.

Revelation 10

10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

"He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews" - One of the Greatest Japanese Manga Artists after WWII

 
One of the Greatest Japanese Manga Artists after WWII

Shigeru Mizuki (1922 - 2015) (real name: Shigeru Mura) was one of the greatest Japanese manga artists after WWII.  Although Osamu Tezuka (1928 - 1989) has been known as the king of the Japanese manga category after WWII, Mizuki has been even officially respected as much as Tezuka has been.  Mizuki earned the prize for “the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette” from the Japanese government, although Tezuka did not (which might be because Tezuka died at a relatively young age).   Anyway Mizuki lived a long life and drew manga even in his 90s.  But Mizuki's life was not so easy.

Mizuku showed his artistic talent since his elementary school ages.  But he did not enter an art school, but he was conscripted into the Imperial Army while Misuki of young days was doing varioius half-hearted jobs.  Then he was sent to the South Pacific front in Papua New Guinea or Rabaul where he narrowly escaped death.  The battles against the US military and the Australian military were fierce.  So, Mizui lost his left arm due to a U.S. air strike.  He become one-handed on the battle field when Mizuki was in his early twenties. Then he spent his days as as a wounded soldier living at a field hospital, often walking around local villages. 

As Mizuki had read many books before he was conscripted into the Army, since he had thought that he should be surely dead in the war, which had been common knowledge to young Japanese men in early 1940s.  So, he read Goethe and the Bible. As MIzuki's father was a Waseda University graduate, Mizuki had a literary sensibility.  Mizuki took even a Goethe's book to the front despite being at war.  And, in a local village in Papua New Guinea where he occasionally visited he found the Bible written in English left by white people.  He somehow read the English Bible aloud in the Japanese style.  In the part he read, the word “Paul” appeared so often.  Therefor, the locals called Mizuki Paulo.  Mizuki became a close friend with the locals, which was very rare for Imperial Japanese soldiers to become friends with locals.  Such behaviors were forbidden in the Japanese military.  But Mizuki did not care.  

With fruits and other foods locals supplied enthusiastically, Mizuki restored his health.  He also sketched the site.  These works were released after the war. 

When the war between Japan and the United States ended, locals encouraged Mizuki to stay in their village but not to return to Japan.  However, after consulting the army doctor, Mizuki decided to go back to Japan with other soldiers but promised them he would return to Papua New Guinea in seven years.

But after returning to Japan, Mizuki was busy with a difficult life as an wounded soldier without his left arm.  Time passed quickly,  He could not keep his promise to the locals.  He did many different jobs to live such as selling fish or running a rickshaw business in Tokyo.  He even attended art school while receiving treatment for his arm at a former army hospital.    

Finally, he started to manage an apartment called Mizuki-So (his pen name was taken from the name of this apartment building) which he happened to buy in Kobe.  There he happened to become acquainted with a kamishibai (picture-story show) artist.  Misuki also became a picture story show writer, which was the starting point of his long career as a manga artist.  Then, Mizuki became a manga artist for a rental bookstore.  He moved from Kobe to Tokyo, mostly depicting the Pacific War and yokai (Japanese folk monsters)-themed stories.  After these humble industries collapsed, Mizuki got the chance to draw his artwork for a magazine, expanding his scope from monthly magazines to weekly magazines. Then Mizuki's works became popular.  One of his magazine stories was turned into an animated TV series.  Mizuki became a popular and very busy manga artist.  But most of readers of his work did not know that he had only one arm.  

Then he remembered the promise he had made about 30 years ago with locals in Papua New Guinea.  He decided to visit the village in Papua New Guinea; Mizuki actually traveled with his former comrades and met old acquaintances in the local village, although some were already dead.  

Mizuki loved life on a South Sea island.  He liked the laid-back life on a South Pacific island better than the busy life in Tokyo.  Mizuki really discussed moving south with his wife and daughters, but they rejected Mizuki's idea.  He had to only enjoy souvenirs from the island of the South Pacific. 

So, Mizuki was a unique man.  He had been a soldier of the former Japanese army in WWII who lost his left arm in the war. But Mizuku succeeded through hard work and artistic talent, although he had only one arm (so Mizuki hired some assistants some of whom also became famous manga artists later). 

The manga works by Mizuki are unique in that the backgrounds in the manga were drawn in great detail but the characters in the manga were drawn in a friendly and approachable way.  His most representative manga is GeGeGe no Kitaro; the main character of the manga work called GeGeGe no Kitaro fights and battles yokai or Japanese folk monsters as well as bad guys.  It was a hit on both TV and in magazines.   It brought Mizuki wealth, so that he could travel to Papua New Guinea many times and other interesting places in the world with spiritual atmosphere.

But, Mizuki's manga works depicting the reality and tragedy of the Pacific War are also popular with some readers.  But Mizuki was a pacifist who loved the South Seas.

Finally, we have to admit that artistic talent, the Bible, and friendship with the local people in Papua New Guinea are the key to Mizuki's success as one of the greatest Japanese manga artists.

In addition, Mizuki's motto is to eat well and sleep well.  Indeed, Mizuki in elementary school loved sleeping so much that he was so often late.  And his life was really saved in WWII through foods carried and supplied by local villagers in Papua New Guinea.

Acts 9

26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him. 30 When the believers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

"We are disciples of Moses!" - America and China are in a State of War Statutorily

 

America and China are in a State of War Statutorily

Some Japanese worry about the recent development of relations between the United States and China.

It seems that it is based on wrong recognition on World War II.  The United States and the current Chinese government were not allies in the war against the Empire of Japan in WWII.  It is the Republic of China (Taiwan) that was allied with the United States but not the People's Republic of China (the current Chinese government in the Chinese main land) in WWII, since the People's Republic of China was established in 1949 after the end of WWII.  Indeed, the imperial Japanese army fought with the Republic of China's army.  

But now, Japan and Taiwan are friendly countries, while the current Chinese government led by the Chinese Communist Party is attacking Japan doggedly and illogically (a Chinese diplomat declared that he would kill the Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi over a Taiwan issue).   

Taiwan was a true ally with the United States of America in WWII.

What is more, in the Korean War (1950 - 1953), the United States of America fought against the People's Republic of China.  This was has not been finished.  The war is still in a cease-fire, meaning that the United States of America and the People's Republic of China are in a state of war statutorily.

In addition, the Vietnam War (1955 - 1975) was prolonged due to the interference by the People's Republic of China,  The war was ended when Kissinger delt with leaders of the People's Republic of China.

However, Japan has been continually a true ally of the United States of America after WWII.

The relationships between the United Sate of America and Taiwan and the People's Republic of China should be based on correct recognition of the history.

Anyway Japan's true aim is to prevent WWIII from occurring in a war over the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan (the Republic of China ) and the People's Republic of China.

John 9
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
