Red Card to Japan's Economic Boom in 1990's
(Un Carton rouge au boom économique du Japon dans les années 1990)
SECTION I: Ginza, Ginza, Ginza, so High and so Proud
Last night they reported a planned closing of a small (Japanese style) pub in Ginza, Tokyo.
Ginza is the highest street, in a sense, in Japan with various commercial buildings and shops well-established or always modern and enjoying reputation for refined style. The street is rather near the first-rate business center Hibiya, the Tokyo Station, and the Imperial Palace, making Ginza streets all the more proud.
One 50-year old, humble wooden (Japanese style) pub is going to be closed once for all in Ginza, since a land owner has contracted for a development project.
Ginza has been always under development since Japan opened the door to the world in 1868 on the Meiji Restoration.
As Tokyo is for Japan, Ginza has been for Tokyo. Every rich citizen and happy and lucky people go shopping and drinking in Ginza.
Anyway, the small pub has an atmosphere of the age depicted by the Japanese movie "ALWAYS - San-choume-no-Yuhi" which has presented people and towns decades ago in Tokyo.

The word "Gin-za" literally means a silver location, since they produced silver coins in the town during the Edo Period under the reign of the Tokugawa samurai clan.
Anyway, Tokyo is literally the greatest city in the world as the one built by a single race; so then Ginza is the highest street in the world as the one established by a single race in the human history.
SECTION II: True Reason for Japan's Recession in 1990's
First of all, you had better check two pictures of Tokyo presented in the following web site:
http://www.financial-j.net/blog/
The aerial pictures cover the area around the Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace in 1964 and 2007, respectively.
Tokyo has been under development without interruption. In 1964, however, almost no buildings could be called a skyscraper, partly due to restrictions officially posed out of consideration to earthquakes Tokyo has to suffer so frequently. But, now there are many buildings three to four times higher than those having been built decades ago.
If the economic growth in Japan had changed only the outlook of big cities, there might have been no serious problems.
The size of Japan is almost as large as that of California; but the number of people who live there corresponds to almost 40% of the US population.
(Imagine if all the Americans living in the west of the Mississippi River are ordered to move to, and live in, California!)
Therefore, if Japanese people exercise the same destructive power of material civilization as Americans do, its inhabitable plains would be full of houses, collective housings, parking areas, office buildings, public facilities, factories, power plants, structural roads, rail roads and stations, air ports, and various vehicles, while filling up every paddy field, rice field, and dry agricultural field.
The destructive power of the material civilization would also invade the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan.
(Woods, forests, and mountains account for 67% of the Japan's land.)
It is what had actually happened during the bubble economy preceding the depression in 1990's.
However, as the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan are a kind of holy and spiritual places for Japanese traditions and Japanese race including the Ainu people, it means the destruction of the spirit and the soul of the Japanese race.
Therefore, the too-violent and too-mean economic boom in the late 1980's and early 1990's must have been stopped in order to save the nature of Japan and the spirituality of the Japanese people.
This is the true reason for Japan's recession in 1990's.
Indeed, we had found many criminal acts involving big money in 1990's that told deterioration and contamination of the minds and hearts of the Japanese people.
In order to save the minds and hearts of the Japanese people, the progress of Japanese economy must be slowed down even today, if necessary.
Far before this CO2 boom, I really thought that destruction of the nature of Japan must be stopped; and the God heard my wish, though the people could not understand it while resorting to useless resistance leveraging the money market until this day.
SECTION III: Revolutions in China and America so Expected
Mr. Paul Harvey today said, in the FEN radio channel, that China recorded 11% economic growth in 2007 catching up with Germany in terms of GDP.
The famous radio host said, "China is now close to the world No.3 country Germany in terms of GDP but you know who the top is."
Indeed, China will soon become world No.3 owing to a help from Japan who is still No.2.
But, unlike Japan, there seems to be nobody in China who would rather stop the economic growth in order to save the nature and the spirituality of the people.
Mr. Paul Harvey should learn how much Japan has supported China's economic growth in these decades as well as how much Chinese have destroyed and contaminated their land, the nature, and the minds and hearts of the people.
Sooner or later, there will be another political revolution in China due to the above said destruction.
Mr. Paul Harvey also mentioned the Pope as well as a Hitler's mentor in philosophy who had however lived 100 years before, while such topics are rarely taken up in the Japanese media as the paradigm of political continuation from the era before WWII has been almost obsolete in this society unlike the U.S.
Sooner or later, there will be religious revolution in the U.S.

Now, we've come to Friday.
I hope that you will be a person worth receiving God's blessing in this weekend.
Having said so, May God bless you!
(Last night I really saw the full moon through the truly cold air between buildings.
Then I really saw something red, though it was not Mars.
Equipment around me has been working well.
But, I have also remembered that my TV set got paralyzed functionally when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, though so humble in its scale.
It may be a time to buy new machine.)
