May 3 is a national holiday called kenpo kinenbi (憲法記念日), Constitution Memorial Day. It's been 64 years since it became a national holiday. Thinking of the Japanese Constitution, I would like to thank Ms. Beate Sirota Gordon who made efforts to include the legal equality between men and women in it. I met her in the 1990s. We exchange the Christmas cards. I respect her and I really like her book titled "Christmas 1945."
Speaking of the Japanese Constitution, it is known as the Peace Constitution. Yesterday Osama bin Laden was shot in Pakistan and his body was taken out to sea for burial. It's been about 10 years since 9.11 happened. I feel uneasiness what happens next. I hope the World Peace.
