レオンハルトのロ短調ミサ Leonhardt's Messe in h
昨日、大枚をはたいて(というほどでもありませんが)ついに、念願のレオンハルト指揮のロ短調ミサを購入しました!
レオンハルトは、28年生まれの古楽界の巨匠、マタイ受難曲でも名演を残しています。演奏するオーケストラのコンサートマスターは、クイケンという人物で、この人もバロックヴァイオリン界を代表する名ヴァイオリニストです。99年の無伴奏の録音は特におすすめです。残念ながらレオンハルトは、今年1月に83歳で亡くなりました(*_*。一度も実演に接することができなかったのは、大変残念です。
さて、彼のロ短調ミサは予想通り、とても静謐でした。古楽という演奏形態に疑念を抱いている人や、あまり好きになれない人、一度レオンハルトの演奏を聴いてみてください。演奏哲学にかかわりなく、確かにあなたの心に迫ってくる演奏を聞かせてくれるはずです。あまり細かいことは言わず、ぜひ聞いてみてほしいCDです。
Book Review of "Sorry States -Apologies in International Politics"(邦題;あやまる国家―国際政治における謝罪)
日韓、日中間に横たわる太平洋戦争、植民地政策に関する謝罪問題に取り組んだ快著。邦訳が待たれる。著者は、日本に対し、中、韓への謝罪でなく、中、韓に対して、どのような関係を今後望むのかということを明確に示すことが、和解への最も有効な道であると提言する。著者はこれをアデナウアーモデルと呼んで、この戦後すぐのドイツ、フランスの関係回復に、いまの日本が学ぶべきヒントが隠されていると言っている。また著者は、双方の国のリベラル派が苦慮して作り上げた和解へのプロセスが、双方の右派政治家によっ...ていつも台無しにされてしまうという事実にも着目し、大局的判断に基づいた対応(関係改善が大事なのか、主張に固執して関係をぶち壊すのか)を双方に求めている。最近は話題になることは少なくなったが、靖国神社への参拝について、著者はそれだけは控えるべきであり、千鳥ヶ淵の戦没者慰霊園において東京の政府関係者は戦没者を悼むべきだとする提言を行っている。著者は英国人、現在は米ダートマス大准教授。http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/0801446252/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_alp_APPeqb096J7J8
Japanese citizens should recognize that Korea is very important strategic partner - from geopolitical and global framework viewpoint
THIS ARTICLE WAS WROTE ON JULY,13TH.
Introduction
...
THIS WEEK, there was an accident in Seoul that Korean man attacked to Japanese embassy using van. However, it was emerged that this accident was revenge to Japanese right person who bind the placard saying "Takeshima is Japan's inherent territory" to the bronze figure setting in front of Japanese embassy as a symbol of comfort women problem between Japan and Korea. Frankly, both things are foolish, but by these accident each citizens' feeling to another become worse. And sadly, Japan-Korea relationship always repeat same thing which happened this week, and always overlook core profit for two countries.
THERE ARE MANY DIFFICULT PROBLEMS between Japan and Korea. Both governments insists that Takeshima 竹島 (Dokut 独島 in Korean) is "inherent territory", and Korean government offers to Japanese government to compensate officially about brutality during World War II (when Korea was a colony of Japan). Still now both citizens' feelings to another is not very good, and each citizens overlooked the profit of "Japan-Korea relationship". Mutual criticize, misunderstanding and unreasonable prejudice can be brought destructive result to Japan and Korea. Therefore, each citizens should recognize the profit of Japan-Korea relationship from perspective profit is bigger than unprofitable situations which are brought by nonsense and little-meaningful conflict.
First and foremost of all, Japan and Korea stand almost same situation geopolitically and strategic cooperation is inevitable. However, it can be assumed that this point has not been thought as important viewpoint and many people overlooked. Both Japan and Korea situate very close geographically, and both two countries are threaten by "communist" sphere of influence (i.e. China and North-Korea, maybe Russia can be involved). Japanese government always faces China's threat at Senkaku 尖閣 islads (Diaoyu 魚釣 islands in Chinese) , and Korea also faces North-Korea's threat. Of course, both Japanese and Korean government have strong relationship with China mainly in the field of economy, but in strategic field and ideological field (alliance with U.S. also should be considered) China cannot be thought as strategic partner who shares equal profit. Also, China wants to have a role as a "nation of Pacific" indicates that Japan and Korea stand in same threat (because both two nations are U.S. alliance powers and disturbs China's advance to Pacific).
In the context of global framework, it can be said that two spheres of influence are existing in the area of Far East : U.S. alliance power and not U.S. (or NATO) alliance power. Though U.S. now seeks to cooperate with China, core collision between U.S. and China (especially the problem of human rights or democratization etc.) cannot and will not be able to resolve. U.S. and China relationship will have been the repeat of "tension" and "reconciliation (detente)". Beyond 2025, or after end of quarter of the twenty-first century, it is said that U.S. power in Asia would be decline and China's power will increase (but wouldn't have power like 1990's U.S.). Even if China won't be "superpower" country, it can be said that Far East geopolitical situation will jeopardize dramatical change sooner or later.*
Without strong cooperative relationship between Japan and Korea, both countries cannot react to dramatical change of geopolitic. Though U.S. presence in Asia will not vanish at least by 2025, it is certain that China's power will increase relatively to U.S. military power. Given the situation that Japan and Korea are disturbing China's advance to Pacific, both two countries sharing same danger and threat is very clear. However, surprisingly, some (maybe almost) Japanese citizens are recognizing that Korea and China stands same position. Maybe this style of thinking comes from the recognition that "anti-Japanese" feeling are common in both two countries. But both citizens should know that anti feeling doesn't make anything positive, and territorial problem or historical problem are not only factor of nation relationship.
Nation relationship connotes many field, and profit of the national security policy mainly should be focus on geopolitical situation, shouldn't be focus on anti-feeling or territorial problem. Especially Takeshima problem, Japanese citizens should understand that it is not the fight with "enemy". It doesn't mean that China is Japan's enemy, but in the viewpoint of strategical cooperation, it is clear that Korea is more important partner for Japan. It is same for Korea, too. Japan and Korea also have other problem (mainly in the field of historical recognition), but these things shouldn't be work as negative factor for Japan-Korean relationship. Korea shoudn't be extreme, and Japan shouldn't have prejudicial view that Korean's historical recognition is wrong and Japan's recognition is correct. In that field gentle dialog is foremost needed, and it will brought more friendly relationship between Japan and Korea.
It is nonsense that Japan or Korea makes now confusional relationship. Both have responsibilities. In the situation that Japan-Korean relationship is more and more inevitable and important, mutual compromise and trying to dialog is also inevitable. Now, Japan-Korean relationship stands crossroad.
Note
* Zbigniew Brzezinski's recent writing "Strategic Vision" gives us very interesting thought. Chapter 4 "Beyond 2025" is must-read.

Populism is postponing politics
Politics often has to make decisions which are not easy to accept for citizen but have very important meaning for nation(e.g. act of consumption tax in Japan which has established very recently). Because of uneasiness to accept, people sometimes has interest in politicians who stand same position of mass (e.g. Ozawa). However, these politicians who should be called "populist" are real cause of "cannot decide politics", because these populists' opinion postpones very important decision and will bring nation's decline. People should know that decision of politics are sometimes uneasy to accept but it would work in the long run, and politics cannot make big outcome in short period. If we allow these politicians' rule, real collapse will be brought to our country.
