Under the food crisis, 1946 international labor day, hundreds of thousands of Japanese people gathered in front of the emperor to beg for food. Although I am hungry, I do have a festive atmosphere, because I can only say a few prescribed words as before, but I seem to be able to speak freely. It's not, there is a guy named Matsutaro Matsushima, who played a slogan that read:
Imperial edict: the national system can be maintained, while we eat it all day long and your people starve to death. I admire that. This is of course a disguise, intended to be ironic. There are words on the back of the sign, full of anger: why do we have to starve no matter how hard we try? The answer is:
Emperor hirohito! The book "Embrace the Defeat" comments like this, showing the healthy spirit of breaking idols after decades of ideological rule centered on the emperor. However, in June, Matsushima was arrested by Yoshishima on charges of disrespect, which was a common crime before the war. On June 22nd, Matsushima was prosecuted. But by June 10, the accusation had turned into defamation. Obviously, Allied Command played a role behind the scenes. Because damage to reputation is more like a crime in the modern sense.
10.2 165438, sentenced to 8 months, but was pardoned by the emperor because the new constitution was promulgated on/kloc-0.3, and was released. But Matsushima does not recognize forgiveness. I just don't like you If you accept forgiveness, doesn't that mean I admit you? So he appealed and was convicted of disrespect, but he was exempted from execution. He also refused to accept the appeal and appealed to the Supreme Court, which was rejected in May 1948. Matsushima became famous all over the world as soon as he mentioned the slogan, but he also became the last person in Japan to be sentenced to disrespect.
