Title translation is mine. It says for teenagers, but it’s actually useful for adults, too.
I was strolling at the library and this book just caught my eyes. I’m glad it did.
It explains the very basics of politics and local autonomy, how it works in Japan. However it doesn’t stop there. It explains what’s thoughts are behind. Tells what the author Fusaho Izumi think is important, referring the academia such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Max Weber. (Miyadai-sensei also often refers them, so I also feel somewhat familiar!)
The book’s copy, which says, “The Politics Lesson You Most Want to Take,” is not an exaggeration.
I think I learned the things in the book at a civics class or something at junior high or high school, but nothing was so vivid at that time. Since it’s explained with the context and not explained as rules or systems in this book, it much more makes sense. As I said, it’s a good book for adults as well, but I hope that children, who are the future generations, will read this book even more.
I’m very surprised that this book actually made me cry. Can’t believe it… it’s a kind of guidebook without a story.
Having said that, today’s ‘time for that’
I went to the opening day stage greeting of the newest film of the Japanese period drama (originally novel), Onihei Hankacho series. It was the first time I went to the opening day stage greeting and even the first time watching a Japanese period drama at a cinema. It was all for the new kabuki star, Somegoro Ichikawa VIII. I’ve watched stage he appeared a few times, and I’ll probably write about that later, but he has such a one and only aura, unparalleled aptitude.
However, what I was astonished even more was his father, Koshiro Matsumoto X’s acting. Just his one look… can tell everything.
I’ve been thinking about moving out from Tokyo quite sometime, especially after reading “The Future I Saw” but since I’m still in Tokyo anyway, it seems I’m making the most of it for now.
The film itself was a well made entertainment, and I liked it.
