Japanese Women

Hiratsuka Raisho the famous Japanese woman poet wrote the following poem:

In the beginning, woman was the sun

An authentic person.

Today, she is the moon.

Living through others.

Reflecting the brilliance of others...

This reflects the position of women in Japan. They are very fragile, introvert. It is also good to know that the old Japanese feminist movement started with Christians and Christian foundations. The Japanese women can carry a lot in them. Often hurt, but never talk, they serve. I believe there should be an awakening process in helping and supporting the Japanese women to break open.

Also the sex industry are degrading the level of women, girls to sex objects. May be the church can play an important role.
