(Tokyo Station on the Tokyo Bay Side)Most of super-rich and very rich people in Japan are very pro-American.
But, super-rich Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Yukio Hatoyama might have a feeling that he is not liked by other very pro-American rich people, since he has a specific ideal idea on politics.
That is why P.M. Mr. Hatoyama is being suspected to be not so pro-American.
However, President Mr. Barack Obama might be well positioned in Mr. Hatoyama's sphere of the ideal idea, since President looks like a bridge person between the rich and the poor in America.
Both the leaders are to have a meeting in Tokyo next month, though I myself have never met Mr. Yukio Hatoyoma in person...(yet I have a feeling that some of EEE Reporter viewers have surely met P.M. Mr. Hatoyama once or more...)
SECTION I: A Judaist and A Japanese
An old Japanese professor wrote a book on his traveling to Italy to confirm some about Italian Judaists.
It happened to be short after the 9/11 Terror, since he departed from Japan for Italy in October 2001, while the book contained more of his past memory on Rome.
He especially mentioned one old Italian having lived long in Rome as a cook and owner of a restaurant.
The old Italian was always cheerful and extremely kind to the old Japanese professor who had sometimes travelled to Italy for his study and research as a student and then as a professor.
In one of such visits to Rome, a young waiteress of the restaurant told the professor at the table that her boss was a Judaist.
So, the professor asked him if it was true. The old Italian would not hide his identity, but also added that he had fought in the same camp as Duce Benito Mussolini during WWII.
This remark puzzled the professor for years, though it became a habit with him to dine out at the restaurant whenever he flew to Italy.
Then another day, the Japanese professor asked the old Italian or Judaist how he had come to own the restaurant.
The cook and owner of the Italian restaurant said that a widow of his old friend had asked him to take over, adding "I was always cooking as hard as I could, but I was lucky above all!" The old Judaist also said, "I fought in the same camp as Duce!"
But, the Japanese professor still wondered why he, a Judaist, could fight as a member of the Fascista Mussolini had led.
Then on other occasion, though in a different season, the same young waitress said to the professor at the table that her boss had experienced Auschwitz.
So, the professor asked him if it was true; then the cheerful old Judaist would not hide his past, adding "I was always cooking as hard as I could, but I was lucky above all!" The old Judaist with dark brown eyes also said, "I fought in the same camp as Duce!"
The rare survivor of Auschwitz also added, as the Japanese professor further asked, that there were guys everywhere who wanted to enjoy their meal so much.
The Japanese professor knows well some other Judaists living in Italy because of his profession. But they all belong to an upper part of society. This old cook and owner of a restaurant is the first ordinary Judaist he has come to know in Rome, though it seems to be still an enigma how a Judaist could fight as a friend of Mussolini during WWII, since the Japanese professor was just 10-year old or so in 1945.
