The following is from Masayuki Takayama's book "America and China Lie Selfimportantly" published on 2/15/2015.
This paper also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Ōe, I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but (to follow Masayuki Takayama's example below), Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that no one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.

If you think the U.S. will always be behind China, you are mistaken.
On July 7, 1937, the so-called Marco Polo Bridge Incident occurred.
The Chinese army shot first, or perhaps the Japanese army did.　
In any case, that was the beginning of the battle, and by the end of the month, 260 Japanese were slaughtered in Tongzhou. Two weeks later, Shina Air Force planes led by Soong Mei-ling flooded the Japanese concession in Shanghai.　
The Shina Air Force had about 100 aircraft, including Northrop Light bombers and Curtiss Hawks, which Roosevelt had provided to the Japanese.
However, although the equipment was top-notch, the Chinese crew members were indigent. 　
Unable to drop their bombs properly, the planes were raked over the coals by Japanese lightly armed reconnaissance aircraft and anti-aircraft fire.　
The hit Shina planes, unable to escape with the bombs in their arms, abandoned two in downtown Shanghai.
The bombs exploded in front of the "Great World" entertainment center, killing several hundred of their compatriots.　
In "The Sino-Japanese Air Battle," Hieherman describes in detail the return of the Shina planes to Yangzhou Airfield, a training base for Shina pilots, under the watchful eye of American instructor Shen Note.　
The first plane overran and wrecked, and the third flipped over on the runway; the fourth hit it and caught fire, and eventually, five of the eleven planes, or half of them, were lost.　
Shennaught, who had decided that the Chinese were incapable of flying, asked Roosevelt to launch the Flying Tiger a group of U.S. servicemen.　
An American journalist, John Powell, wrote about the Chinese "air raid" on Shanghai: "The Japanese were responsible for that mistaken bombing. The Japanese fighter planes attacked and wounded the battleship Izumo when it needed the utmost care in bombing it. The pilot had no choice but to drop the bomb (on the city) to return home safely."　
It is laughable that he talks as if it was wrong for the Japanese side to defend themselves.　
However, there was one other American who did not laugh.
Eleanor Roosevelt.
The first lady was in Shanghai at the time.
She visited Powell at his office and told him she "felt a chill run down my spine when I saw the disaster" in front of the Cathay Hotel.　
She wrote to Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe.
Innocent Chinese are dying. The fact that there were an unbelievable number of Japanese troops in the joint concession forced China to take military measures. Please consider withdrawing your troops."　
She knows that her black-hearted husband has caused Shina and Japan to split up.
She also knows that she gave the Shina people U.S. warplanes to use against Japan and the resulting disaster.　
Then, she makes it seem as if Japan is responsible.
She is a woman of gigantic proportions.
I can understand why her husband, Franklin, became unfaithful to her.　
Many such people make a living slandering Japan.
Henry Looze of LIFE magazine and Richard Walsh of Asia magazine are among them.
Walsh's wife, Pearl Buck, was the editor-in-chief of the magazine and wrote "The Brutal and Cunning Japanese" in every issue of "The Simple Chinese.　
Thanks to this, or perhaps because of it, "Since the Incident, 76% of the U.S. public opinion has been favorable to the Shina Incident, and less than 2% favorable to Japan" (Nathan Glaser, professor at UC Berkeley).　
For example, if you were to conduct a poll asking, "Do you like the Democratic Party of Japan?" 80% of the respondents would certainly "dislike" it, but there would always be at least 15% who are deviants like Seiji Yoshida.
The same is true in the United States.　
And yet, "2%.
You can see how amazing that is.
Even if the Chinese army fired the first shot at the Marco Polo Bridge, the public opinion in the U.S. decided "Japan shot" or "Japan is to blame."
Both Powell and LIFE wrote so.　
Eighty years have passed since then.
Japan and China have begun to confront each other again.
This time, the Senkakus became the site of confrontation.　
In China, Hu Jintao floats a second-hand Russian aircraft carrier, calling for a "maritime power," and Xi Jinping, calling for the "restoration of the great Han nation," begins to talk about an exit to the Pacific Ocean and the seizure of the Senkaku Islands.
In the past, the Shina people were ruled by the Xianbei, made servants of the Mongols, and forced to wear pigtails and Manchu clothing by the Manchu people.
I want to ask where was the glory of the Han Chinese who were ruled all these years.
Suppose Xi can bring Japan to its knees, take half of Ryukyu, and create an outlet to the Pacific Ocean. 
In that case, it would be a historic achievement for the Han Chinese that neither Kublai Khan's Mongol invasions of Japan, Empress Dowager Sai's Sino-Japanese War, nor Nikolaini's Russo-Japanese War could accomplish.　
That is why he kept sending ships around the Senkaku Islands to provoke Japan.
Like the Marco Polo Bridge, he is a national hero because he will let millions of Chinese die once one shot is fired.　
At the time of the Marco Polo Bridge, the U.S. sided with the Chinese, and the Chinese were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
But now, the situation is slightly different.
The recent New York Times shows the difference beautifully.　
This newspaper has never said a single bad word about China since before the war.
However, after the Senkaku Islands came out, they were exposed twice on the front page to the illicit accumulation of the Wen Jiabao family funds.
The People's Liberation Army's hacker unit 61398 also made front-page headlines, with the middle page also making a fuss.　
The PM2.5 in Beijing was also reported by a U.S. diplomatic mission's observation plane, and the suicide of a Tibetan boy by burning himself to death was reported in color and prominently.　
The other day, the International Edition finally ran a front-page headline, "Where else to invest but in China," celebrating Tiffany & Co.'s expansion into Cambodia.　
A U.S. Gallup poll reported that U.S. citizens' favorability toward Shina was 39 points, half the prewar level, and 50 points against Japan.
It is unlikely that Japan can be blamed for China's first shot at the Senkakus.　
Even in the U.S., who is Pearl Buck? Xi Jinping has forgotten that we have entered this era.
