The truth of the Korean camp follower in the Great East-Asia War |
This is my challenge to explain the truth of the camp follower in the Great East-Asia War.
I read an interesting article in Sankei Shimbun's web-site.
According to that Article, Mr. Tessyu Yamaoka's logic line, I will try to explain
about the "comfort woman" system. However I do not think that wording
express the truth of the system.
1. The difinition of "comfort woman system"
It is basically the same lawful and occupational prostitution in original
Japanese territory, Taiwan island and Korean peninsula under Imperial
Japanese regime. That system was also applied to the Japanese army
in the battle field or occupied area out of Japan.
The objectives were to protect sexual abuse by soldiers, infection with
disease, and leakage of confidential information. Even at that time, there
was hesitation in the army to deal with prostitute as a kind of logistics.
But they put the priority for preventing sexual crimes. So this was installed
and the officials got to be able to sue soldiers for sexual abuse in the
battlefield at the same time. This system was executed under strict law
application. Forcing prostitution by fraud or cmpellative take away was
obviously illegal. Comfort women concluded labor contract with the owner
of the prostitution business, and they could exit the business and return to
home after the expiration of the contract period.
2. The problem of that system
One of the main objective was to deterrent of the crime but there
happened some cases that were allegedly recognized as war-crime.
The typical one is the case of Semarang in Indonesia. The military police
detected the misconduct and abolished the store right away. The soldiers
in charge were punished by Japanese officers at that time and executed
by the judgement of UN's military court after the end of war. Regarding
the recruitment of women, the domestic organizer of prostitution took
that role but Korean traders in Korean peninsula had a tendency to take
them away by criminal manner with violence or deceit. There were many
journalistic reports about arrest and detect of suspects by police officers.
However there remained possibility of missing the crime inspite of official
efforts.
3. The reason why Japanese government made apologies and
compensation
In that era, the prostitution was lawful and there was no case of organized
abduction by Imperial army. The theory which is saying the woman
abduction was officially organized by Japanese government is totally false
by false story of Mr. Seiji Yoshida, the swindler, diffused by Asahi Shimbun,
a Japanese representative newspaper. Asahi Shimbun has officially
admitted the related articles were groundless and withdrew them in 2014.
Anyway it was true that there were many cases that human-trafficking by
their families or deceit by malicious traders made women get into that
unfortunate situation. So Japanese government made apologies and
compensation to show heartful sympathy for their miserable experience.
If there is a new evidence about this issue, I want to scrutinize it.

「慰安婦を「ゲスな演出」でアピールする韓国に反論してもムダである」
It is not effective to argue against Korea, which makes "comfort woman" appeal in a vulgar way.
