かつて、戦争資料館の館長から聞いたエピソード。招集された市民が軍服を手渡され、着てみると小さく、交換を申し出ると「お前が軍服に合わせろ！」と怒鳴られたそうだ。 役所、役人というのはそういうものだろう。「勧進帳」（能「安宅」）は、そんな「人を肩に嵌めようとする権力」の計略を知恵で乗り切ろうとする痛快劇である。しかし、その機転と裁量は、ただ一日ぼうっと過ごして育まれるものではなかろう。権力の前で怯え、平伏し、従ってしまうのが常。だからこそ、弁慶のような智勇を兼ね備えた人物に、時代を超えた憧れを抱くのかも知れない。現代で言えば、大谷翔平だろうか。。。 「弁天小僧 菊之助」 に続くロック歌舞伎の第二弾。「大恩教主の秋の月」の季節ではないが、選挙が近いともあって、制作した「勧進帳」のように、投票用紙に自分の意見を書けば無効になる。「指定の名を」というのが権力側の意向。そこに民意が反映されるのか、、、いつもの疑問である。 Once, I heard an episode from the director of a war museum.

(Excerpts from “G7 Leaders' Hiroshima Vision on Nuclear Disarmament, 2023”) Link below.
“We, the Leaders of the G7, met at a historical juncture in Hiroshima, which together with Nagasaki offers a reminder of the unprecedented devastation and immense human suffering the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki experienced as a result of the atomic bombings of 1945.”

“We recall the Joint Statement of the Leaders of the Five Nuclear-Weapon States issued on January 3, 2022, on Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding Arms Races, and affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”

“We underscore the importance of the 77-year record of non-use of nuclear weapons. Russia’s irresponsible nuclear rhetoric, undermining of arms control regimes, and stated intent to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus are dangerous and unacceptable.”

“At the same time, China’s accelerating build-up of its nuclear arsenal without transparency nor meaningful dialogue poses a concern to global and regional stability.”
Open, Free and Open
改革开放（Reform and Opening Up）
”We are resolute in our view that no nation should carry out any nuclear weapon test explosion or other nuclear explosion, condemn any threats to do so, and emphasize that bringing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) into force is another urgent matter. ”
“We reiterate our unwavering commitment to the goal of North Korea’s complete, verifiable, and irreversible abandonment of its nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs, and any other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs in accordance with relevant UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs). ”
Abandon!
We also never abandon!
“We urge Iran to cease nuclear escalations. We call on Iran to fulfill its legal obligations and political commitments regarding nuclear non-proliferation without further delay.”
Hold’em on.
You get us to hold’em on.
“G7 countries which opt for nuclear power, or related peaceful nuclear applications, recognize that the use of nuclear energy, science, and technology contributes to providing affordable low-carbon energy.”
Tritium.
Release of Tritium.（Out of sight,out of mind.)
“Our security policies are based on the understanding that nuclear weapons, for as long as they exist, should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression and prevent war and coercion.”
Heaven, Hellish
