Reflecting on Three Years Since Shinzo Abe's Assassination
The August issue of the monthly magazine 'Seiron', published by Sankei Shimbun, marks a somber reflection on the events three years after the assassination of Shinzo Abe, Japan's former Prime Minister. Released on July 1, this issue focuses on the theme 'Three Years Later...', offering an in-depth exploration of the implications and aftermath of that tragic day in Nara.
Among the highlights of this edition is a compelling conversation between Hideo Yagi, a professor at Reitaku University and a key advisor to Abe, and Ruki Abiru, a senior political reporter and editorial committee member at Sankei Shimbun. Their discussion revolves around the critical question, 'Who killed Shinzo Abe?', as they reflect on the political climate and criticisms directed toward the Ishiba administration.
Additionally, the issue features contributions from prominent figures such as literary critic Eitaro Ogawa, who addresses the 'pathologies of conservatism' following Abe's departure from the political arena. There is also a thought-provoking piece by Masumi Kawasaki, who argues that Abe's mentor was none other than former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui.
Senator Seii Eto offers a heartfelt message upon his retirement, discussing the unfinished business of Abe's political legacy, and why the political narrative surrounding him continues to be relevant.
Furthermore, international affairs take center stage as Islamic studies researcher Akira Iiyama questions the reasons behind the lack of criticism towards Iran's actions, while Dragon University professor Lee Sang-cheol delves into the controversial presidency of Lee Jae-myung in South Korea and his anti-Japan sentiments.
Other notable essays dissect the political dynamics involving the Ishiba and Iwaya combination and its impact on national interests, alongside discussions on the agricultural sector's challenges due to American grain giants targeting Japan's agricultural associations.
In tribute to cultural icons, this issue also includes a heartfelt commemorative graph dedicated to Shigeo Nagashima, a beloved figure in Japan, enriched by dialogues between Takahiko Kobayakawa and Kazuhiko Inoue, reminiscing about the encouraging messages from this baseball legend.
Edited by Shintaro Sugawara and published by Hiroshi Hori, 'Seiron' continues to provide a platform for critical discussions that shape Japan's political discourse. The magazine is available for purchase at bookstores, priced at 950 yen. For avid readers, the annual subscription is offered at 10,080 yen with free domestic shipping through Fujisan Magazine Service, accessible via their toll-free number 0120-223-223.
Through its insightful analyses and thought-provoking discussions, the August issue of 'Seiron' serves not only as a memorial to Shinzo Abe but also as a critical evaluation of the ongoing political landscape in Japan and beyond.
