袴田事件

11分鐘 · Taipei 台北市 · 

1966年發生的袴田事件，32歲的被告因殺人放火於1968年一審被判死刑，並於1980年定讞。2007年，當年合議庭中唯一主張無罪的法官熊本違例發言，說當年他是審判長，但卻違背自己的心證寫下死刑判決書，而那時他年僅30歲。2018年1月8號，雖然事件還沒結束，但是袴田與熊本還是在熊本的病床前見面了。一審判決下達後，已經過了半世紀。
當年堅持判死刑的另外兩位法官，如今何在？
在我國這類的事件會不會發生？將來的國民法官，是不是會碰到這種的情況？

愛媛縣光林寺 (1316 歷史，最摩登現代的千年寺廟)

MOT TIMES 明日誌新增了 10 張相片。

【日本最摩登現代的千年寺廟】

已經有了 1316 歷史的愛媛縣光林寺，近日邀請日本建築設計公司 Takashi Okuno 為寺廟重新建構位牌堂，而 Takashi Okuno 的設計風格向來為簡約又現代，五層鋼架的結構與內部木質調的柔和搭配起來顯得相當摩登，也希望透過建築設計能夠讓大家在新的文化與傳統之間能夠取得平衡。

對於此篇的日本情況的說法，我將信將疑。

蘋論：台灣在日本鏡中看到什麼

出版時間：2018/01/19

日本經濟失落了20多年，會持續低迷還是將來有翻轉的可能？台灣從日本經驗學到什麼？
日本在經濟非正常擴張的1970、80年代，出口的興旺和鉅額的貿易順差導致了更多的麻煩。它的經濟奇蹟是建立在高儲蓄、高投資的製造業、國內消費相對較低，以及製造業貿易順差急速竄升等幾個因素，最終給日本帶來超過自身生產能力的過度投資，日本經濟遂嚴重失衡。

能源獨立擺脫依賴

鉅額貿易順差加大日圓對美元的升值壓力，並在1985年成為現實。低利貸款政策原先是為了維持日本製造業的競爭能力，但卻在不動產、股市吹起一個大泡泡。1992年泡沫破裂，從此日本走進了暗巷死路長達20多年之久。近年來人口老化成為下一個經濟發展的地雷，也攔阻日本在安倍經濟學的三支箭政策下浴火重生。 
日本經濟有重振雄風的可能嗎？歷史顯示有可能。過去一個半世紀以來，日本有兩次成功的重建經驗，一是明治維新，一是二戰之後。明治維新時期成立了一個任務小組「岩倉使節團」，派出國尋找改造日本的辦法。近年來，日本又組成類似的「特殊民族復興委員會」，指派社會各界的人士，包括政治、商業、學術、地區、媒體、社會、農業等菁英，四處去取經，任務和岩倉一樣，尋找振興國家的方案。 
日本的好消息是它已擺脫了依賴能源進口的魔咒，靠著發展甲烷化合物、頁岩、乾淨核能及再生能源，成為能源獨立國。此外，3D列印、機器人、對噴射及燃料收取高碳稅，實際上已經終結全球供應鏈的時代，已不需要靠武力保護貿易航道和供應鏈。 

將藉由高科技崛起

事實上，日本即將完全脫離「失落」，進入高科技的殿堂。它藉著失落的20多年徹底淘汰了傳產，崛起的日本將是科技的日本，在技術與企業領域，日本已是全球領先者。
台灣也應該由政府主導設立各界菁英組成委員會，做實證研究，然後整理出具體的方案，供政府參考。「沒有調查就沒有發言權」，台灣學者做的研究粗疏馬虎，搔不著癢處，打不到重點，還往往誤導，沒有政策參考的價值。去研究日本的「特殊民族復興委員會」是怎麼運作的，台灣可以照著葫蘆畫瓢。

American scholar films documentary on Japanese school lunches

An American scholar is filming a documentary on Japan's school lunches, looking into how "kyushoku" prepared in school kitchens play a key role in…

ENGLISH.KYODONEWS.NET

...But while teaching abroad in Shimane Prefecture on the Japanese Exchange and Teaching program in 2009-2011 while in her 20s, Sanborn began to love "kyushoku," Japan's institutionalized school meals prepared with fresh local ingredients in school kitchens...

Sanborn's nutritious and well-balanced Japanese school lunch experience, which differed from her school meals in the United States, inspired her ongoing independent documentary "Nourishing Japan," which is set for completion by autumn 2019.

"In Japan I think they value nutrition more, but beyond nutrition they look at food as something much more, as a tool to learn about other parts of society," said Sanborn in an interview with Kyodo News.

To honor the working hands that feed Japan's next generation, the film examines how school lunches are a key ingredient of the 2005 Basic Law on Food Education that instills the correlation between consumption and health in elementary and junior high school students.

Last June, Sanborn self-funded the filming for the documentary, interviewing farmers who labor over crop fields in Seto to deliver fresh produce to awaiting cooks in school kitchens in the greater Aichi Prefecture of central Japan.

"People in the field taught me a lot about everyday realities the farmers have to face," said Sanborn.

The film also focuses on the nationwide "shokuiku" dietary education program that promotes the intangible benefits children gain through the varying customs that go with food from different prefectures, and the health benefits of authentic Japanese meals.

During Sanborn's first round of filming last June in Tokyo, she interviewed nutritionists, including Yukio Hattori, the creator of the word "shokuiku," and a key facilitator to the Japanese government in the implementation of the food education law.
