It's almost March, but it's a very cold morning today and I'm worried that the plum blossoms may be frozen? The eastern sky has a band of dark clouds for a cold front, so the sunny weather is desired slightly and it will continue this cold for a while. Yesterday, on the way back from Kobe, I got off at Hankyu Okamoto Station and visited Okamoto Bairin Park. The plum grove on the slope made it difficult to take shooting position with the harbor and bridge behind. Also, the way was slope to get there.
Regarding the opening of Kobe Port in the early Meiji era, I saw a disagreement with an instructor who had an extraordinary admiration for Western culture. She felt uncomfortable when I translated Westerners who had advanced to Kobe for commercial strategy in Japan into English as influx immigrants. She says that immigrants are strange to those who have made significant contributions because the city of Kobe has developed and prospered thanks to them who have advanced.
Foreign people trying to settle in Japan dreaming of a lot of money in peacetime, Movement of troops in a military invasion, Refugees who have no choice but to lose their homes and land in the war, those are the same as the movement of people. If the people move regardless of the purpose or the number of people, they are all immigrants or emigrants.
There seems to be no room for disagreement on this point.
Do you feel inferiority to Westerners?
Is there anything to honor them?
Especially in the 100 years from the Meiji era to the present, who does not thinks that it is too ridiculous to make the West an object of admiration and worship, considering the Wars and consequences that occurred in involved countries including us? Is it something like that?
