Greetings
Again From the Japan Considered Podcast Mobile Studio. Parked here on
the shore of Lake Thurmond. Enjoying the view, in spite of the heat.
Thanks for dropping by. This week we focus almost entirely on the
significance of the resignation of Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma. After
the negative publicity his comment on U.S. atomic bombing of Japanese
cities at the end of World War Two incited.
After describing
what happened, we consider the significance of Kyuma's resignation,
given the options, and what it tells us about Shinzo Abe's management
of the Japanese premiership. My conclusions are somewhat different than
those of most of Japan's political media.
Finally we
consider what I believe to be the most long-term significant aspect of
the Kyuma Affair: Appointment of Yuriko Koike as his successor. And
why. |
