	Pacifism's last stand in Japan - Los Angeles Times
		A national debate about the role of the military is overdue in Japan, which has operated since 1947 under a constitution that doubtless seemed timeless and inspirational when it was drafted by U.S. occupiers after the war, but now seems hopelessly quaint.

	Koizumi's Japan - Editorials/Op-Ed - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Five-and-a-half years ago, Japan was still mired in the economic and political malaise of its "lost decade," which followed the bursting of its real-estate and stock-market bubbles in 1990.
		Koizumi, who had served in Japan's parliament for 30 years as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), won the 2001 race by declaring war on the very political system that had kept his party in power for 45 of the previous 46 years.
		In what appears to have been a successful effort to turn around Japan's long-suffering, recession-plagued economy, which has now achieved three consecutive years of growth exceeding 2 percent, he introduced market forces, deregulation and business accountability in place of near-total reliance upon pork-barrel spending, which had raised Japan's public debt to record levels.

		Though Seldin has played throughout the U.S. and Japan, as well as in South America and Europe, teaching has remained his main priority.
		Many of Zen's customs and traditions don't translate well in the U.S. So much of the economy of words and movement is because Japan is so small, and people are on top of each other here.
