February 1, 2011At the
biginning of the year 2011, I received sad news one after another
from Moscow, Bonn and Nizhnij Novgorod. I express my deepest
sympathy.
†
On November 22, 2010,
Prof.
Mikhail Masaovich SUDO, the son of Masao SUDO who was killed by
the Stalinist terror in 1937, died in Moscow, Russia, at the age of
78. Prof. Mikhail SUDO was the most valuable supporter to our
research of the Stalinist purge of Japanese in the 1930s in USSR.
Without his own experience and his help, we could not find over ten
families and relatives of Japanese victims in Japan. We thank him
very much for his devotion to find Japanese victims. (→go to the
memorial pages of
Prof.
Mikhail Masaovich SUDO)
†
It is with great sadness that my close friend,
Dr.
Jasim Uddin Ahmed from Bangladesh, passed away peacefully in his
sleep on January 7, 2011 in Bonn, Germany. It was on September 17
last year, when we met last time in Bonn. Jasim was my roommate when
we first met at the dormitory of Herder Institute in Leipzig, East
Germany, in 1972. I learned the method of multi-cultural symbiosis
much from him, a devout muslim economist, especially after the
collapse of Berliner Wall. He and I once called "TO

HERDER INSTITUTE LEIPZIG !"

†
On January 16, 2011,
Mr.
Allan Sadaminovich Sasaki passed away in Nizhnij Novgorod,
Russia. Mr. Allan Sasaki was the son of Mr. Sadaichi Kenmotsu, the
most important Japanese activist in California, USA, in the 1920s. I
found one
American book which treated Sadaichi Kenmotsu as an excellent
leader of immigrant workers in USA. Allan could know his Japanese
father and families for the first time at the beginning of this
century , and visited Japan in 2002. I am proud of my assistance to
connect Allan and his Japanese family by the help of Prof. Mikhail
SUDO. (→go to the memorial pages

April. 1, 2010 I retired
Hitotsubashi University in March 2010 and now concentrate my work on
research and this web university, "Netizen College." I
become Visiting Professor of Waseda
University (Graduate School of
Political Science) and Professor
Emeritus from Hitotsubashi University, but my office now is my own home (Tokura 2-16-41,
Kokubunji, Tokyo 185-0003, JAPAN; phone +81-42-327-9261). My mail
address is the same as before:

Aug. 1, 2009My essay
below,[The
Politics of Pandemic in Mexico and Japan] was translated into Spanish, and was published in the "Bulletnin
CEAA"Mayo,2009 at El Colegio de
Mexico, as 'Politicas
de la pandemia en Mexico y Japan.'
To study of the life Shigeki
SAKIMURA (1909-82), especially on the
assassination case against Mao Zedong("The
Time", Aug.27,1951), I have to
search for a
huge amount of declassified
FBI/ CIA/MIS documents of the
Interagency Working Group
(IWG) at NARA in USA. In the process, our team found important
historical documents to probe the close connection of the Japanese
government with the US- Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the
early 1950s, just after the independence of postwar Japan. The
article "Declassified
CIA documents reveal plan to elect U.S. sympathizer as Japan's
PM"
was reported as the Top
news of "Mainich Shinbun" newspaper on July 26 and was translated into English on "The
Daily Mainichi" July 27, 2009
(Click
here for the original Japanese story (Mainichi Japan) July 26,
2009).
March 23, 2009 I am now
staying in Mexico City as a visiting Professor at El Colegio de
Mexico. I will live in Mexixo until the end of May. But I still
search for "Shigeki
SAKIMURA" in Germany, Sweden and
China. If you have any information on his activity, please let me
know by e-mail to
katote@ff.iij4u.or.jp
April 2, 2008One surprised
news about Shigeki
SAKIMURA came from a Japanese researcher on Willy
Brandt, a famous postwar SPD leader,
Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany1969-1974, and the 1971
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Brandt was born in Luebeck,
Germany, in December 1913. He worked In 1937 in Spain as a political
observer and representative of humanitarian relief organisations. In
1938 he was expatriated by Hitler's government. In 1940, after the
German occupation of Norway, he was captured, but not identified.
Released as a Norwegian, he fled to Sweden. Until 1945 he lived in
Stockholm. In 1944, he met Shigeki
SAKIMURA , and left a
sentance memoir of "A Young Japanese
who worked at the Japanese Embassy in Germany" and attended his anti-
Nazi group in Stockholm. If someone know about him or the documents
concerned, please let me know !
