The Japan That Can Say No

thomas · Apr 22, 2002, 06:07

Just acquired Ishihara's "The Japan That Can Say No" at eBay. Can't be a great loss for 1 GBP (less than € 1.50). Has anyone read that collection of wisdom? I know there's an online edition available, but I prefer to read "offline".

｣1? Wow, which store/seller did you get it from?

thomas · Apr 23, 2002, 17:10

Hi Tom,

I am supposed to get it from someone by the handle "caladora". I already contacted that person, but haven't heard of her/him yet. ;)

Just on a side-note:

Tokyo governor Japan's answer to Le Pen?

Yeah, you right, Thomas - because of its impressive effect, this is definitely a book, everybody should read. But unfortunately I still havent had time for it so far. Too sad...but if someone like to leave comment on it, I would appreciate it

Thx,
alex

Ishihara is a brilliant well studied fanatic.

He is totally anti-everything-non-Japanese.

I admire his intellegence but not his policies.

His brother was a famous movie star ;)

Rumour has it that his brother's popularity helped hima lot to get elected.

Btw, unfortunately my book deal never worked out. So much for eBay.

moyashi · May 7, 2002, 21:36

Quite possibly so.
But still his knowledge and idea are quit amazing.

Many politicians use parents/relatives to gain their foot in the door.

hmmm ... I thought the book was only in Japanese.

There's an English translation online

Domo arigato. Why do i feel like an alien witnessing the half-life of a civilization? ...(That book on Nostradamus is around here somewhere).

Bah, Nostradamus! Reading coffee-grounds is much more effective.

thomas · May 8, 2002, 19:32

Hehe, Larry. It has to be Turkish coffee though. ;)

Ishihara runs for a second term and - if Koizumi's glory wanes - considers to become PM

@ no to iieru nippon

@Ishihara
great scott! I hope not. He's a mutant in disquise.
Although, Beat Takeshi, is thought by the general public to be a better solution that Ishihara.
