After the second world war, Japan has been forced to changed a lot by the U.S. occupation policy.
I was born after the war and was brainwashed by Japan Teachers' Union's biased education.
Therefore,I grew up with negative image of the people in prewar times.
But I gradually found it wrong to think that way while learning
Japanese history by myself.
I think they were more dignified than us in postwar times.
Because They were the emdodiment of samurai spirit.
If we have something we really are proud of,I think that's all.
But sadly to say,you can't find it anywhere any more in Japan.
