Traitors 1


..................................................................................
(comic cover"IGANOKAGEMARU";cartoonist Yokoyama Mitsuteru 横山光輝1934-2004)
If there had been no traitor,we might not understand a history as a story or a legend.
Karl Marx brought the concept "A class struggle make history"up,In some meaning,it seems like the truth.
So,a treason is a core of nation history as a story.
I heard Osama Bin Laden branded Moderate Arabs Traitor,but according to his old career, he himself is the very traitor as anyone know.
There are many odd traitors in Japanese history too.
" Shosetsu Yui 由井正雪(1605-1651)"was one of such a traitors. He was teaching tactics at his private school and got an offer of a government post.His talent was outstanding.
But the shogunate had to forced many "Samurai(ruling class)"to give up his status at that time. So he masterminded lordless samurais to overthrow The shogunate.
After all his conspiracy failed. but this incident came to be told as a many entertaining story. Above image is very famous Ninja comic "Kagamaru Igano"(1961-1966)and this comic was modeled on this incident.

Are you a good race or a bad race?

(This man's name is Mr Foucault "the third". Famous France philosopher Michel Foucault reincarnated twice. Now He is a" Koga Ninja". He will take part in this blog as a part time commentator.)("Koga" and "Iga" are two representative Ninja sect.)

What is "We"? Why do we use "we"? A slogan just as "Yes ,we can."was used in a certain other land. Ninja don't know both such the word "we" and"I". When you use "we",you never think"we are a bad race"at all. Who are a bad race? Even when we say"we are a bad people", it means that we must become good one.Ninja use only the word "Yes or No"and"good or bad".
By the way,One time Ninja stands by the good, the other by the bad. Ninja must not be self independent. Ninja must only endure everything.This is a Ninja AESTHETIC. Negativeness of self independent of SUBJECT is one of the important problems in the Foucault studies. ..................(The description about Ninja does not always depend on the historical fact.)
