Koreans in Japan

And I think it's gone relatively well.

I've read a bunch of literature from like China and Korea and that very complicated relationship with Japan and I've read books from the Zainichi community, which is Koreans who live under Japanese rule.

Even today, they run gambling parlors.

It's been very rewarding.

A reissue of Osamu Tezuka's 1970 manga Nagai Anna, The Long Cave, has reached its seventh printing since Hosei University Press published it in June.

The work, never included in Tezuka's collected works, follows Shohei Moriyama, a Zainichi Korean who obtained Japanese citizenship and became a corporate executive.

Traumatized by forced labor in wartime tunnels at Mount Togari in Gifu Prefecture, he hides his roots, and sheltering an illegal migrant upends his family.

It depicts forced labor, discrimination, generational divides, and family separation.

Society, according to Ota, was dualistic, a world of masters and their slaves.

According to Ota, it was only by breaking up Japan itself that this exploitative system could be ended, returning Okinawa and Hokkaido to the control of their indigenous groups, carving out an enclave for Zainichi Koreans, the people of Korean ancestry who'd been denied Japanese citizenship after World War II but still resided on the islands.

As for everyone else, well, his ideas were pretty fuzzy at best.

During his time as a New Left anti-Japanism writer, Ota never went beyond pushing out voluminous tracts on his views, though after the Mitsubishi bombing, police did investigate him as a potential member of the terror cell.

So this includes in medicine, but also the marginalized subgroups in Japan.

So we have the Rikyuan, you have the Ainu, you have the Burakumen, you have the Zainichi.

All of them have Christian leaders as well within them because our kind of faith kind of really wants to help those Like God cares for everyone, including those who have been pushed to the margins.

And you don't even have to be in the margin.
