		In 1969 the mayor of Usuki proposed that the city offer to the Osaka Cement Company a site for constructing a plant on land to be reclaimed near the fishing villages of Odomari and Kazanashi, which were incorporated into the city.
		Disgruntled fishermen from Kazanashi finally filed suit in the Oita District Court, based on doubts about the validity of the FCA's decision to sell their rights and their belief that many who had agreed to sell their rights had been bribed.
		Further, their lawyers thought firstly that the law could be interpreted to require a unanimous decision to sell the fishing rights of any individual members, and secondly -- and most important, as it turned out -- that any decision by the FCA which deprived some members of their livelihood rights was unconstitutional.

		First, Japan and the Netherlands were celebrating four centuries of ties that started in 1600 when the Dutch ship Liefde (Love) ran ashore at Usuki, Oita Prefecture.
		The other reason, however, is not as cheerful as the first: the relationship between Japan and the Netherlands had been damaged badly in the Second World War and among the Dutch anti-Japanese sentiment still lingered because of Japan's wartime aggression.
