(Around the Tokyo Station)"Upon the Name of the LORD"
(Crucial History for the 21st Century's Mankind)
It is raining now around Tokyo.
I am now using an electric heater, since it is a cold spring rain.

Now let me provide an overview of the Japanese history, since it has been mainly discussed by Japanese scholars who despise the samurai spiritualism or have no ability to sense the depth of the samurai spiritualism.
What's more, there are many people in the world who are disenchanted by Americans and Europeans and looking to Japan on the quiet as a source of new authority in the wake of the War on Terror and the Wall Street Debacle. It is not only animation works but also the Japanese culture that is drawing strong attention globally from sensible and decent people in many countries.
Put simply, the literally-proven history of Japan began in A.D. 57 when a Chinese Emperor endowed a Japanese king with a gold seal to officially acknowledge the king's status.
After 1,000-year power management by ancient patriarchs, kings, queens, emperors, and noble families, a samurai leader established the first samurai regime at Kamukura, close to present Tokyo and far from the old capital Kyoto.
Then, in 1945, at the end of the Second World War, the samurai spiritual tradition finally left the core of the establishment of Japan while the Empire of Japan collapsed and democratic and peace-loving Japan emerged with the new Constitution.
So, there are only three major incidents in the Japanese history as shown below.
In this EEE History science, Japan has the four major historical periods:
The First Period (before A.D. 57):
From the stone age to the earthenware vessel age, to the rice crop diffusion, and to formation of independent small tribal sates, the basic part of the Japanese race had been formed with people coming to the Japanese Islands from Siberia, the Korean Peninsula, coastal zones of southern China, and the South-East Pacific islands, including the Philippines and the Indonesia.
The Second Period (before 1192):
The influx of the ancient Chinese culture and the Buddhism through China were the two main factors that heightened the civilization level of the Japanese people. The most drastic incident is the separation from the Chinese political influence, leading to the buildup and cultivation of the unique Japanese civilized culture. The paradigm of the political structure was based on the spiritual and cultural authority of the imperial court. The ancient Japanese Empire was supported by armed guards, the future samurai class, and the spiritual development into the Shintoism and the Buddhism.
The Third Period (before 1945):
The samurai class, the elite in terms of military power, governmental administration, and cultural development, played a major role in every aspect of the Japanese society. The imperial court lost not only political power but also religious influence on ordinary people all over Japan, thus remaining as a traditional, spiritual, and ritual authority mainly to the samurai class. Even after the Meiji Restoration of the imperial authority, the hegemonic power of the nation was in the hands of descendants of samurais. The samurai code of conduct and philosophy were actually the guiding principle of the Empire of Japan. Therefore, the rule of this modern Samurai Empire must have been terminated if the world had to survive by advancing freedom and democracy with an emphasis on human rights.
The Fourth Period (since 1945):
After the Second World War, ordinary people of Japan are released from the traditional framework of the political paradigm. American democracy is introduced in a large scale. The government-supported heavy defense industry was wiped away, paving the way for prosperity of the private sector in the Japanese industry. Ideas, religion, and cultural venture are all allowed the people to freely pursue. Accordingly, democracy and free economy have become the two major frameworks of the Japanese society.
So, based on this review of the Japanese history, Japan might be yet to enter the Fifth Period of history. But, it depends on the global movement of the human history.

The Japanese history matches that of Europe from a general point of view.
The First Period (sine the 1st century):
The European history of these 2000 years began with the introduction of Christianity to the Roman Empire.
The Second Period (since around 1000):
The three major European powers (Germany, France, and England) were started to develop their unique traditions leaving the paradigm or the broken paradigm of the Roman Empire.
The Third Period (since 1945):
While losing their hegemony in the world once supported by their colonial rule, Europe started to objectively look to the world where the United States and the Soviet Union were taking major part with nuclear warhead intercontinental missiles. The miracle recovery and rise of Japan after WWII as the industrial power coequal with them made them forever abandon the old paradigm based on the European supremacy.
So, based on this review of the European history, Europe might be yet to enter the Third Period of their history. But, it depends on the global movement of the Islamic history and the Asian history as well as the American History.

Now, very rich people say that they do not belong to any country but the sphere of money or wealth, which is a big mistake.
It simply tells their lack of ability to enjoy any local culture and admit the influence of their native culture on their personality.
That is why they are dangerous when they are getting rich through money dealing, since they think they are free from any responsibility a government would like to impose on them.
Nonetheless there is a limit to the extent those frivolous rich men can damage the world, since they have no ability except earn money.
For example, Hitler, Lenin, and Mao Tse-tung were all great learners of history. So then, if today's spiritually-frivolous global players in the money market are instigated from lessons in the history, they might take a very dangerous step to a very dangerous direction with millions of blind followers in the money market.
Before those guys start to learn history, you had better study it beginning from the Gospel if not the Gold Seal sent to a king of ancient Japan from Heaven, from a theological point of view.
It is because you yourself are part of history as you are viewing EEE Reporter's reports to Heaven...

Gen 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
