Japan whistleblower wins in Supreme Court in nation first as judge dismisses Olympus appeal


TOKYO — Japan’s Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a whistleblower for the first time in a case that highlights the harsh treatment outspoken employees have endured in a nation that zealously values loyalty and conformity.
Despite being a good salesman with experience in the United States, Masaharu Hamada, 51, was demoted at Olympus Corp., forced to take rudimentary tests and ignored by colleagues, in what he alleged was reprisal for raising the issue of supplier complaints.
 
He received a notice Saturday from this nation’s highest court, dated Thursday, dismissing the appeal by Tokyo-based camera and medical equipment maker Olympus of a 2010 lower court decision. It sealed the victory of the little “salaryman” against a giant of Japan Inc.
“We need a society where honest hard-working people don’t lose out,” Hamada told The Associated Press. “This is about justice and human rights.”
Hamada’s story highlights how workers labeled as misbehaving are punished in Japan, where major companies like Olympus offer lifetime employment, although they more freely fire contract and part-time workers.
That means employees like Hamada become targets of cruel harassment designed to silence them or make them quit. Hamada was nearly driven to breakdown during his five-year battle.
Japan is behind some Western nations in protecting whistleblowers. A law to protect them was enacted only in 2006, and critics say it is inadequate because it does not penalize companies that punish whistleblowers. To pursue legal action, whistleblowers can’t quit as the law only applies to employees.
Only a handful of whistleblower has come forward in Japan in the past few decades. When they do, they are treated as outcasts, sometimes being told to sit in closet-sized offices or to mow the lawn. Sometimes even their children become victims of discrimination. So abhorred is the employee who dares to question the company.
Hamada sued Olympus in 2008, saying he was punished for relaying a supplier’s complaint that its best employees were being lured away by Olympus. Olympus said he was merely transferred, not demoted.
His case is considered a whistleblowing case in Japan because he went first to his bosses and then to the company compliance unit, trying to raise questions about the professional behavior of colleagues for the public good, and, as the Supreme Court found, was punished unfairly in retribution.
Last year, the Tokyo High Court reversed an earlier district court decision and ordered Olympus to pay Hamada 2.2 million yen ($28,000) in damages for the transfer. Olympus had appealed.
Olympus was not immediately available for comment Saturday. In the past, it has called the court rulings favoring Hamada “regrettable.”
Olympus has been targeted recently by another high-profile whistleblower, Briton Michael Woodford, the former chief executive.
Woodford was fired in October after he blew the whistle on dubious accounting at Olympus. The company later acknowledged it hid 117.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating back to the 1990s. Three former Olympus executives, including the ex-chairman, were arrested earlier this year on suspicion of orchestrating the accounting cover-up.
Woodford has become a hero in Japan. Three weeks ago, Woodford won a 10 million pound (1.2 billion yen, $15.4 million) settlement from Olympus in a British court. He had sued alleging unlawful dismissal and discrimination as he was not given the same treatment as a Japanese employee.
How Hamada will be treated at Olympus on Monday remains unclear.
He plans to show up at work at 8:45 a.m. as usual, wearing his company color, blue, as he is confident he is an upstanding “Olympus-man.”
Hamada said he would like to be transferred to the corporate compliance division, given the serious problems that have surfaced with Woodford’s case and the knowledge he has gained about proper management through his court battle.
“I would like to work for the true revival of Olympus, where dedicated employees can work and feel joy, in a nurturing environment, and be proud,” said Hamada.

Restaurateur turns filmmaker to show plight of Tibetan refugees

Tokyo curry shop owner Kuku Minami is more used to dishing out his spicy creations than being behind the camera of a serious documentary film.
But Minami felt he wanted to show the plight of Tibetan refugees, so he set about making a film, which will be opening in two Tokyo theaters starting June 30.
The movie, titled "Olo," is about a Tibetan boy fled from his home country to India at age 6 and is now in his early teens and living in a refugee facility in northern India.
“I hope the audience members will get a sense of hope from the protagonist who is searching for a way to live,” said Minami, 61, the owner of Mamekura, a curry restaurant in Tokyo’s Musashino.
Minami is the man behind the making of "Olo," from the planning and casting, to shooting in overseas locales.
Organizing a charity event with his friends for Tibetans in the summer of 2008, Minami felt compelled to show the difficult life that many Tibetan refugees are facing.
Minami talked to a new friend, screenwriter Hisaya Iwasa, who told him, “Why don’t you make a movie focusing on a child, for example?”
Minami met Olo in the winter 2009 in India, when he was visiting refugee facilities operated by the Tibetan government with Iwasa and others.
He was touched by the boy with the clear eyes and innocent expression, despite his sad and eventful past of having to leave his family and flee his country.
Minami talked to him in broken English. “Are you interested in appearing in a movie?” he asked the boy.
Iwasa, who directed the film, appears in the documentary as he travels along with Olo, which was Minami’s idea.
The reason?
“Olo was overwhelmed, suddenly being selected to play the main role,” Minami recalled. “I wanted to help him open his mind and bring his natural self out.”
Although Minami was a total stranger to filmmaking, he filmed his movie on location in India and Nepal in 2010 and 2011.
He slept with Olo in the same room, and volunteered to play the role of his father during the location shooting.
Three years since Minami conceptualized the film, his movie was completed, thanks partly to funds raised from more than 400 people.
The movie revolves around Olo’s nostalgia for his homeland, but includes scenes of the young teen mingling with Tibetan refugee women, who appeared in another of Iwasa’s movies, and some animation.
“Many people in the world are forced to live like Olo and his friends,” Minami said. “I want as many people as possible to understand the reality.”
“Olo” will be shown at Eurospace in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward from June 30 and at Baus Theater in Tokyo’s Kichijoji district from July 7, and followed by screenings in other venues in Japan.

KUSO日本歷史BP人物 臨終經驗 蒔絵の人間国宝

 KUSO日本歷史BP人物

〔編譯林翠儀/綜合報導〕如果日本歷史上的偉人活在現代的話,會是什麼造型打扮呢?最近日本網路上吹起一股惡搞歷史名人的風潮,包括日本大教育家福澤諭吉、大文豪夏目漱石、芥川龍之介及島崎藤村等人都被改造成視覺系扮相,酷炫效果令人驚豔。
福澤諭吉有「明治6大教育家」之稱主張「脫亞入歐」論,影響明治維新,他的肖像從1984年起就被印在日圓1萬元紙幣上。表情嚴肅、嘴角略微下壓的諭吉肖像,最近卻被網友改造成滿頭金髮、穿著鼻環、畫著煙燻妝的視覺系扮相。
由於諭吉被改造得炫酷逼人,網友反應熱烈,於是有人加碼將舊版千元鈔上的夏目漱石也加以改造,原本就帶有「憂鬱書生」色彩的夏目,被網友拿來與日本視覺系歌手Gackt「合體」,結果效果更是驚人,網友直呼帥呆了。
在網友接力KUSO下,日本文學巨擘芥川龍之介成了戴著唇環的視覺系王子,已故日本當代文豪太宰治,也如大家預期的被改造成帶有濃厚頹廢派風格,日本文學現代主義大師島崎藤村,則被改造成超萌的羅莉塔造型,網友的驚人創意令人拍案叫絕。

〔編譯林翠儀/綜合報導〕日本一份調查報告顯示,在自宅過世的患者,有4成比率在臨終前看到過世的親人或神明前來「接引」,且有此經驗者多半能安詳地過世。
看見往生親人或神佛
人在臨終前會有過世的親人或神明前來迎接,已在宗教的輪迴轉世說或生死學中被廣泛討論,但日本可能是第一個官方提供經費,研究臨終「接引」體驗的國家。
讀賣新聞報導,日本宮城縣一群醫療人員組成在宅醫療團隊,去年起和大學研究人員,在文部科學省提供經費贊助下,結合宮城縣及福島縣等地六家在地診所,針對541名已過世患者的1191名家屬進行問卷調查,這些患者都是在家屬守護下於自宅過世。
調 查結果顯示,有4成2的患者在臨終前看到別人看不到的景象,不但看得到、聽得到,也能感受得到,其中一半患者告訴家屬看到已過世的親人,有人則是感受到神 明或光影。研究小組將這種臨終體驗視為宗教指涉的「接引」,調查也發現臨終前的「接引」體驗,緩和了多數患者對死亡的不安情緒,有4成7的臨終患者覺得很 好,持否定意見者僅1成9。
參與這項調查研究的在宅醫療專門醫生岡部健認為,即使臨終「接引」體驗是出自患者的幻覺或妄想,卻可協助患者及其家屬安詳地面對死亡,從這點來看值得給予正面評價。

 蒔絵

 一種日本工藝美術。以金屬或貝殼塗嵌在漆器表面,構成各種花鳥、山水等圖案的形狀,依製成方法可分為平繪、高繪、研出繪和螺鈿繪等。

 


Maki-e (蒔絵?, literally sprinkled picture) is Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder as a decoration using a makizutsu or a kebo brush. The technique was developed mainly in the Heian Period (794–1185) and blossomed in the Edo Period (1603–1868). Maki-e objects were initially designed as household items for court nobles, they soon gained more popularity and were adopted by royal families and military leaders as an indication of power.

蒔絵(拡大画像)
蒔絵(まきえ)は、漆芸の技法の一つである。
漆器の表面にで絵や文様、文字などを描き、それが乾かないうちになどの金属粉を「蒔く」ことで器面に定着させる技法である。金属の薄板を定着させる平文(ひょうもん)(または平脱/へいだつ)や漆器表面に溝を彫って金銀を埋め込む沈金、夜光貝、アワビ貝などを文様の形に切り透かしたものを貼ったり埋め込んだりする「螺鈿」(らでん)とは区別される。
「平文」や「螺鈿」が中国起源の技法であるのに対し、蒔絵はその初例を正倉院宝物の金銀鈿荘唐大刀(きんぎんでんかざりのからたち、通称「末金鏤の大刀」(まっきんるのたち))とされており、海外に類例のない日本独自の漆芸技法とされている。

TOKYO —  An American regarded as the father of computer graphics, an Indian literary critic and a Japanese molecular cell biologist are winners of the annual Kyoto Prize, Japan’s highest private award for global achievement.

The Inamori Foundation said Friday that U.S. computer scientist Ivan Sutherland won the advanced technology prize. Sutherland is perhaps best known for developing the Sketchpad in 1963. The graphics interface program that allowed users to manipulate figures on a screen through pointing a device — an innovation that helped people use computers without the need for complicated programming.

Gayatri Chakrovoty Spivak , an Indian literary critic and educator whose work focuses on those marginalized by Western culture, including immigrants, the working class and women, won the arts and philosophy prize. A professor at Columbia University, she is known in literary circles for her essay, “Can the Subaltern Speak?” about the economically dispossessed.

Japan’s Yoshinori Ohsumi, a molecular biologist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, was awarded the basic sciences prize for his contributions in the significance of autophagy, now regarded as a vital cell-recycling system that may aid in future developments to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, cancer and other age-related ailments.

The Inamori Foundation is a charitable body established in 1984 by the founder of Japanese electronic component maker Kyocera Corp., Kazuo Inamori.

Each laureate will receive a diploma, a gold Kyoto Prize medal and a cash gift of 50 million yen ($630,000) at a ceremony in Kyoto in November.

第三獎其實是我最先知道的

Kyoto Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The Kyoto Prize (京都賞) has been awarded annually since 1984 by the Inamori Foundation, founded by Kazuo Inamori (fortune from ceramics). The prizes are the Japanese equivalent of the Nobel Prize, as they recognize outstanding works in the fields of philosophy, arts, science and technology. The awards are given to not just those that are top representatives of their own respective field, but also to those that have contributed to humanity with their work.
Prizes are given in the fields of Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences and Arts and Philosophy. Within each broad category, the prize rotates among subfields, e.g. the technology prize rotates across electronics, biotechnology, materials science and engineering, and information science. The prize was endowed with 50 million yen and Kyocera stock. The prize is rising in prestige as it covers fields not often awarded by the Nobel Prizes.
