Thank you for the correction. But I don't understand difference "suicide" and "ritual suicide". Of course, Hideyoshi ordered two Portuguese's missionaries to death because he denied christianity despite some shogun had already joined catholic. He was frightened people would look toward christianity. I think the ruler you watched on the film was a man of region branch under Hideyoshi. Today's text is the last of Hanaikusa. Best regards
Thanks for your review and comments!
Thanks for your review! Your story about Budapest sounds lovely!
Thank you for your detailed feedback as always. Wrapping up the mistake I made is also helpful. I can be more careful not to make the same kind of mistakes. Yes, it was true that some of the masks that the government distributed were not good quality.
Thank you for your message. Yes, I have seen the film" Silence". the fame of Endo Shusaku is not only because of being outstanding novelist but also being christianity. Because the percentage of christianity has not exceeded over 1% from its arrival to Japan until now, the way of thinking from christianity is very rare and esteemed. No, that ruler in the film was not Hideyoshi. First, his death was 1598 because of illness. So it is supposed he was in his castle to be looked after. Second, Nagasaki, the stage of the film, is too far to visit. It may took more than ten days to go and back. It is impossible to have castle empty for those days. Although the impact of the story of Silent was heavy to christianity, for the Japan's political leaders, what the two missionaries had done was worthless incident. But the fact is that Hideyoshi declared to ban catholic in 1597. Best regards
the first question that means that inquiring the state of person. In short, questioning what you really think in mind. the last question Sennorikyu could apologize Toyotomi and if he did so, he could survive. But Sennorikyu could not. Sennorikyu was so loved other warriors and, since he had no confidence that he ruled Japan. So Toyotomi was absolutely scared because if Sennorikyu prefered, he could gather and became rebel. Furthermore, Toyotomi felt that Sennorikyu could not Toyotomi's sense of beauty. Because Toyotomi liked decorative ceremony, but on the other hand, Sennorikyu prefered plain and simple ceremony. He chosen die an honorable death. Sorry my sentence might confuse you.
I don't mind for the delay in receiving your correction at all. Instead I prefer receiving your correction of being careful especially adding another sentence like native one。 what is this book about? the song is good. I also write lyrics of musical. My two novels become musical. one is Hanaikusa, Please see the following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCbyhj0Y9oE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcOAr22aQyk please enjoy.
Thank you for your advice, Ellie! I learn a lot from your feedback! Thank you very much. Rika
Thank you Elle for your assistance! "Most journals advise authors not to start any sentence with an abbreviation or a number. " I didn't know that! Thank you! Rika
thank you. your parent ran the barber as well. Now we have common feeling. I read your introduction saying that you published a book and are preparing second book. Please let me know what it is. Best regards
thank you. We also use the ward "achilles" as the weakest point. I read up about achilles and Troy war, and what I couldn't believe is that the troy war have lasted more than 10 years, which is incredibly so long. I n comparison with Japan's war, even the biggest battle in Japan in Warring states period "sekigahara war" lasted only 6hours. The battle, which 80,000 vs 80,000 warriors, started from dawn and ended just noon and ended the loser 10,000 in death and winner lost 7,000 in death. That war concluded the capital moved from West to East which is Tokyo. Best regards
Thank you for your reviews and kind messages!
Thank you for your informative comment. Perhaps the number of very poor people is smaller in Japan than in other countries, as you said. By the way, I often see young foreigners from Asian countries work in the stores and small restaurants around me. I have heard that they are paid less than the standard. It must be exploitation.
I always appreciate your helpful comment. In our city, Osaka, the number of public toilets is small, but all the station restrooms in the subways have been recently renewed and become beautiful. I usually use the subways to go to work, so I am very pleased about that. The western style with the so-called "Washlet" has been normal in new restrooms in Japan. By the way, we Japanese usually call restrooms as "TOIRE", and we might have some difficulty to imagine them from the words of "restroom" or "bathroom". Best regards.
Thank you for your informative comments! I regret to say that I know next to nothing about the social situation in the Philippines. In our country Japan, Journalists usually try to reveal political and social unfairness and we should welcome their activity. However, at the same time, we should be careful about the truth of their information. Best regards.
