Tim : Hi, everyone. Welcome back to Mission Japan. In this series, we talk about various embassies that occupy the diplomatic landscape in Tokyo. Today, I'm honored to welcome the Russian Ambassador, Mikhail Galuzin. Welcome!
Ambassador Galuzin : Thank you. Nice to meet you, pleasure to be here.
Tim : It's really great that you're here, Russia and Japan has such a long history... they are close, they're very close neighbors and the relationship between them is so critical, but the the pace of negotiations that have been going on recently with regard to the Kuril Islands is really a hot topic. But what I'd like to talk about first of all is the relationship between the nation of Japan and the Russian Federation: where it started and how we got to this wonderful piece of land that you have over at Ikura**.
Ambassador Galuzin: Well, if we talk about the origin of the Russian-Japanese relations, I would say that the first information or first knowledge of Japan had arrived to Russia, I think, in the mid of the 17th century or in the second part of the 17th century. This knowledge was say broadcasted to Russia by Russian diplomats who would visit China and who would know some information about Japan. One of these diplomats was Nikolai Spathari, who visited China in the 80s of the 17th century, and he was one of the first Russian nationals who brought some information of Japan to our country.
Tim : And, I'm sorry but at that time Japan was still in the Sakoku period, right? If you came, if you fell off the boat and landed in this country, you were killed immediately. And the other kind of interesting thing about this is that this foret** did not begin from the south, as it did with the Portuguese or the other countries, but actually from the north, isn't it?
Ambassador Galuzin : Well, what you say now happened later, a bit later. But, the Russian diplomats who first learnt about Japan, information about Japan, they didn't visit Japan during that time. As I mentioned above, they visited China and there they obtained first information. I agree, Japan was at that time in a period of Sakoku, which means closed country, and the Russian nationals could not reach Japan at that time. But in the 18th century, some of the Japanese fishermen sailors or traders they happened to arrive to Russia because the storm, or some weather disaster in the high seas, threw them to the Russian shore.
Tim: Okay, that would be up north.
Ambassador Galuzin: Yes. And they were saved by the Russian people there and some of them, let's say, started to live in Russia. Some of them as foreign nationals from a country which Russia didn't know about, they were received even by the Russian Emperors. For instance, a Japanese national whose name according to the archives was Denbei who was received by Peter the Great back in 1703, in Moscow. And after that, this Japanese man, Mr. Dembei, started to run the first-ever Japanese school, Japanese language school, in Russia and that is how the studying of Japanese language had started in Russia, more than three centuries ago. Then, there is a famous story described by Mr. Yasushi Inoue, a famous Japanese author in his renowned book Dreams of Russia. It is about the 90s of the 18th century, when Daikokuya Kodayu, a Japanese Japanese trader, a Japanese businessman let's say in modern terms, also was forced to arrive to Russia because his ship met a very strong storm in high seas. So, he came to Russia, he lived in Russia for a while, and then Mr. Adam Laxman, a special annoy of Empress Katherina The Great, brought him and one more Japanese national who was with him to the city of Nemuro (Hokkaido) back in 1792 to return them back to their home country and to try to establish relations with Japan. But, that time, though he left Mr. Kodayu and his associate in Japan, he failed to establish relations with Japan because of this policy of the Japanese government.

A Powerful 7.0 Earthquake Northern Japan, Eastern Russia Kuril Islands April 19th 2013
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck in seas off far northern Japan and far eastern Russia, but no damage was expected.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said sea changes were possible. No tsunami warnings have been issued.
The tremor around midday was in the Pacific Ocean at a relatively shallow depth of 6.2 miles. Japan and Russia both claim some of the sparsely populated islands in the remote region.
The epicenter was 160 miles east-northeast of Kuril'sk, Russia, and 328 miles northeast of Nemuro, Japan.
The area is almost 930 miles northeast Tokyo.

Japan Travel: Taga Shrine believed to grant fertility Uwajima, Ehime, Japan
Japan Travel: Taga Shrine believed to grant fertility Uwajima, Ehime, Japan
Taga Shrine (多賀神社, Taga Jinja) is located north of Uwajima's city center. People pray at the shrine for longevity, good health and in particular, fertility. The shrine's claims to popularity among foreign tourists are its fertility related objects of worship, including about two meter long wooden phallus displayed alongside the main shrine building. Such explicit fertility objects were more common at shrines across Japan in the past until puritanical values from the West led to their removal around the Meiji Period (1868-1912).
There is a museum next to the shrine hall. It displays the priest's collection of international and domestic pornographic materials. Items on exhibit include adult oriented illustrations, ukiyoe and objects from various regions of the world and eras of history. Minors under the age of 20 are not allowed entry.

Hokkaido
Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally Northern Sea Circuit), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is Japan's second largest island; it is also the largest and northernmost of Japan's 47 prefectures. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu, although the two islands are connected by the underwater railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city.

Ishikari, Japan and Campbell River: Celebrating a Sister City Relationship
The History of the Campbell River Twinning Society is being examined through a new temporary exhibit. The exhibition will focus on the amazing relationship developed through a ‘Sister City’ Program between Ishikari Japan, and Campbell River, Canada. This program was established in 1983. Artifacts exchanged between the two cities will provide an insight into the positive cultural understanding and respect fostered between Ishikari and Campbell River, a relationship best described by many in the Society as ‘family’. Highlights will emphasise key occasions within the building process of ‘Sister Cities’. March 18 — May 30, 2016
【Dispute between Japan and Russia】 South Kuriles / Northern Territories
On February 7, 1855, Japan and Russia signed the Treaty of Commerce, Navigation and Delimitation, which confirmed the boundary between the islands of Etorofu and Uruppu. The Northern Territories, consisting of four islands of Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and Habomai, are an inherent part of the territory of Japan, which have never been held by foreign countries. However, the Northern Territories have been under illegal occupation by the Soviet Union, and then Russia, since the Soviet Union occupied them in 1945.
The Government of Japan has energetically been continuing negotiations with Russia based on its basic policy of resolving the issue of the attribution of the four Northern Islands and concluding a peace treaty with Russia.
※Basic Understanding of the Northern Territories Issue
1. The Northern Territories consist of four islands located off the northeast coast of the Nemuro Peninsula of Hokkaido. They are: Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu. The Northern Territories are not included in the Kurile Islands.
2. Japan discovered and surveyed the Four Northern Islands before the Russians arrived there. By the early 19th century at the latest, Japan had effectively established control over the four islands. In 1855, the Treaty of Commerce, Navigation and Delimitation between Japan and Russia, which was concluded in a completely friendly and peaceful manner, confirmed the already established natural boundaries, drawing the boundary between the islands of Etorofu (the northernmost island of the Northern Territories) and Uruppu. The Four Northern Islands had never been held by foreign countries.
3. However, nearing the end of the Second World War, the Soviet Union, in violation of the Neutrality Pact that was still in force between Japan and the Soviet Union, opened the war with Japan. Even after Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration, Soviet forces continued its offensive against Japan and occupied all of the Four Northern Islands from 28 August 1945 to 5 September 1945.
4. Subsequently, the Soviet Union unilaterally incorporated the territories under occupation into its own territories without any legal grounds, and by 1949 had forcibly deported all Japanese residents of the Four Northern Islands (approximately 17,000 people).
5. Since that time, return of the Northern Territories has been the ardent wish of the people of Japan, and a deep-rooted movement among the general public for the return of the islands has developed national-wide. With this strong support from the people of Japan, the Government of Japan, under a consistent policy, has persistently called on the Soviet Union, and subsequently the Russian Federation, to conclude a peace treaty between the two countries, contingent on the resolution of the Northern Territories issue.
6. As a result of negotiations to date, both Japan and Russia have agreed to resolve the issue of the attribution of the Four Northern Islands and to conclude a peace treaty, and have continued vigorous negotiations. The Russian side also states that it continues to pursue a solution on the demarcation of an internationally recognized national border that is acceptable to both countries.
Nagoya JR Tower (名古屋）Japanese backpacking '12
In search of a chicken based meal, I ascended the 51 floored JR Tower in Nagoya, situated above Nagoya station. On the 12th/13th floors there are some cafes and shops and right on the 51st floor is an observation deck with cafes and restaurants (the restaurants being rather 高い！). Great views from all around, make sure you take half an hour out of your time at least to come and relax up on the highest floor of the tower!

Cabal Rule Could Collapse Fulford Report: MI6 says cabal rule could collapse within three months
MI6 says cabal rule could collapse within three months By Benjamin Fulford, White Dragon Society
2018-09-17
There is a very real chance that Khazarian cabal rule will collapse over the next three months, and alternative power structures need to be made ready in time for that, according to British MI6 intelligence sources. The trigger is expected to be arrests of senior cabalists in the U.S. starting in October, the sources say.
Pentagon sources, for their part, said, “The Cabal has been deaf and blind for over two weeks, so big things should happen after Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation.”
“Kavanaugh is poised to be confirmed after Yom Kippur on September 20 and on the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump may send texts to all cellphones to reach even more people than Twitter.” Furthermore, the sources say FEMA will also test the emergency broadcast system on all televisions, so this, when combined with wireless text alerts, “will allow Trump to spread real news in real time and drop truth bombs.”
The exact nature of what will be told to the American people through the emergency broadcast system is not yet clear. However, last week representatives of the Swiss banking gnomes in Zurich, the Russian FSB, MI6, the Japanese royal family, and an Asian secret society all contacted the White Dragon Society (WDS) last week. The fact that these sources, many of whom had ceased contact since the March 11, 2011 Fukushima nuclear and tsunami terrorist attack, suddenly popped out of the woodwork is a clear indication something huge is about to happen.
CIA sources connected to the secret bases in Antarctica say the sudden surge of activity in the intelligence community was related the sudden closure last week of seven solar observatories. In particular, the sources say:
“The Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico has been ‘observing’ the sun since the Roswell incident. They belong to a special...(Full report will be posted midnight Thursday. ~ Dinar Chronicles)

Has Pacific Ring of Fire activity returned?
A flurry of earthquakes has hit Earth's Pacific plate over the past week, renewing fears a massive tremor is on the way after four disasters jolted the region in January.
Quakes have hit near Japan, Guam and Taiwan around the planet's so-called 'Ring of Fire', a horseshoe-shaped zone that is a hotbed for tectonic and volcanic activity.
Some have suggested the frequency and proximity of the tremors are signs of a bigger earthquake to come.
Experts have claimed events around the Ring of Fire are rarely linked and that in most cases adjacent disasters are a coincidence.
Scroll down for video
After a series of quakes hit the Ring of Fire last month, a 6.4 quake struck Taiwan's east coast on February 6, killing 17 people and injuring at least 180.
A series of tremors reaching magnitude 5.7, 5.6, 5.4 and 4.9 shook the US island territory of Guam early on Tuesday.
And since February 11, three earthquakes have struck Japan: A 4.8 magnitude quake 103 kilometres from Hachijo, a 4.5 magnitude quake 55 kilometres from Nemuro, and a 4.5 magnitude earthquake 103 kilometres from Tokunoshima.
But scientists say such activity is normal for the Ring of Fire, adding that there is no chance of a 'domino effect' triggering a larger quake.
'The Pacific Rim is in a period of activity,' Toshiyasu Nagao, head of Tokyo-based Tokai University's Earthquake Prediction Research Centre, told Japan Times.
'In terms of volcanic history, however, the current activity is still regarded as normal.'
Dr Janine Krippner, a volcanologist at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia, tweeted: 'It's not referred to as the ring of fire because it sits there doing nothing ... it is normal to have so much activity.'
At least four natural disasters jolted the Pacific Rim in January, including a 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Kodiak, Alaska, which sparked a tsunami warning.
A 6.4 quake hit Indonesia the same week, and Mount Kusatsu-Shirane in Japan erupted, killing one and injuring 15.
Also in January, Mount Mayon in the Philippines sent lava 600 metres (1,970 ft) into the air, forcing 61,000 people to evacuate from nearby villages as thick smoke descended from the mountain.
Some researchers, however, said that this string of events in January were not connected.
'There's not really likely to be any connection,' Professor Chris Elders, a geologist at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, told The New Daily.
'While they do indeed have the same origin - the Ring of Fire - these recent events are a coincidence.
'The region itself is a breeding ground for seismic activity.'
Roughly 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire - a Pacific region home to three in four of the world's active volcanoes.
The ring loops from New Zealand to Chile, passing through the coasts of Asia and the Americas on the way.
The region is susceptible to disasters because it is home to a vast number of 'subduction zones', areas where tectonic plates overlap.
Following from January's events, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan's east coast on February 6, causing a hotel to collapse and injuring at least 180 people and killing 17.
JAPAN: CALL FOR RUSSIA TO RETURN THE DISPUTED KURIL ISLANDS
Japanese/Nat
The Japanese have been marking the anniversary of the signing of a disputed treaty between Japan and Russia over the controversial Northern Territories or southern Kuril Islands.
Hundreds gathered in Tokyo to hear Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto describe the four islands as Japanese and say they were taken over illegally by the Russians.
Islanders forced to flee to northern Japan believe they will eventually see their islands returned.
Ceremonies were held throughout Japan Wednesday calling for the return of the hotly disputed Northern Territories or southern Kuril Islands off Hokkaido's north-eastern coast.
Wednesday was the 141st anniversary of the signing of the treaty but the dispute has been going on for more than a century and a half.
The dispute intensified in 1945 when Stalin ordered in Soviet troops to occupy the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunahiri and Etorof.
Ruling out military means to regain control of the islands, Japan is foundering in efforts to persuade Russia by diplomatic means to return them.
SOUNDBITE: (Japanese)
The goal, bringing about the return of the Northern Territories, has not been attained. I must say that this is very regretful.
SUPER CAPTION: Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto
Less than ten kilometres divides Japan and the Russian occupied islands.
From Nemuro, in eastern Hokkaido, the islands can easily be seen.
The islanders who were forced to flee have now settled in Nemuro and nearby towns.
To them, the Northern Territories is their land and signs throughout the region back up their opinion.
65-year-old Hirokazu Suzuki fled Yuri island, along with 430 others, shortly after the Russian occupation.
Each day he drives along the coast, hoping, that one day he will return to live in his homeland.
SOUNDBITE: (Japanese)
I strongly hope that the Japan-Russia bilateral talks will solve the Northern Territory problem as early as possible so that we, the former dwellers, can go back to the island before we die.
SUPER CAPTION: Hirokazu Suzuki, former Yuri islander
Before dawn each day, more than 120 boats leave Lausu port to fish in waters near the controversial islands.
For generations these fishermen have plied these waters.
The fishermen say they belong to them so they should be allowed to fish where they want.
But Russian patrol boats often cruise the five-kilometre limit between Hokkaido and the islands to prevent the fishermen from raiding coves and bays which are rich in fish stock.
42-year-old Hiroyuki Kobayashi started fishing at the age of 15.
He took over his father's position as captain of a 16-ton vessel but retired last December because he says fish stocks are down and with the Russians patrol boats looming, it wasn't worth the risk anymore.
Two of Kobayashi's older brothers were killed by Russians while they were fishing in the Northern Territory back in 1964.
Kobayashi says a Russian patrol boat deliberately rammed his brothers' boat drowning them and several crew.
The Northern territories-Kuril dispute is rich in history.
In 1855 a treaty was signed giving the four southern islands of the Kuril group to Japan and the northern islands to Russia.
But the treaty was revised - and then revised again - creating ambiguity about which country has the rights to which islands.
Both countries are unquestionably aggressive about their rights to the four islands.
Japanese fishermen use radars to keep track of the Russian patrol boats.
If they slip past the border zone, they may get fired on.
Kobayashi and his five crew were locked up in a Russian detention camp for 50 days in 1979 for crossing into Russian occupied waters and fishing off Kunahiri island.
