Qi-Acise- http://www.qi-acise.com/
Hirohito, posthumously in Japan officially called Emperor Shōwa or the Shōwa Emperor , (April 29, 1901 -- January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, in Japan he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death.
At the start of his reign, Japan was already one of the great powers — the ninth largest economy in the world after Italy, the third largest naval country, and one of the five permanent members of the council of the League of Nations. He was the head of state under the limitation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan's imperial expansion, militarization, and involvement in World War II. After the war, he was not prosecuted for war crimes as many other leading government figures were. During the postwar period, he became the symbol of the new state.
September 26, 1971: Emperor Hirohito becomes the first reigning monarch of Japan to step on foreign soil. President Nixon welcomed the Emperor at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska where he was given a formal welcome with full military honors.

Hirohito ruled Japan for more than six decades of the 20th century, during a period in which the nation aggressively pursued political dominance in Asia, withstood the devastation of World War II and rebuilt itself into a global economic powerhouse. Taking the official name Showa ("Enlightened Peace"), he began his long reign in 1926, with a divine claim to the throne as the 124th emperor in direct lineage to Amaterasu, a mythological sun goddess. At the close of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, in charge of the U.S. occupation of Japan, kept Hirohito on the throne rather than charge him with war crimes, and Hirohito renounced his divinity and agreed to adopt a constitutional monarchy. During Hirohito's lifetime he was often depicted as a benign and even passive bystander to events, more interested in marine biology than geopolitics. Since his death in 1989, that image has been challenged by critics who argue that Hirohito encouraged the military aggression toward China in the early 1930s, participated in the planning of the attacks on Pearl Harbor (1941) and prolonged the war against the U.S. and Great Britain unnecessarily. After his death in 1989, Hirohito was succeeded by his son, the Emperor Akihito.
Hirohito, also known as Tenno Showa or Emperor Showa, was the son of Emperor Taisho and grandson of Emperor Meiji; the most recent addition to the royal line is Hirohito's great-grandson Prince Hisahito, born in 2006... Hirohito's 62-year reign was the longest in Japanese history.

http://www.euronews.com/ When Japan surrendered at the end of the second World War, the US Supreme Commander was tasked with deciding the fate of Emperor Hirohito.
Tommy Lee Jones plays General Douglas MacArthur who charges Matthew Fox as General Fellers with determining if the Emperor should face trial for war crimes.
Actor Tommy Lee Jones says he is a fan of the General: "I admired MacArthur greatly for understanding what it would take to come out of the war with a democratic, industrial ally on the Pacific Rim, as opposed to a vanquished, dead enemy."
"If he had killed the emperor, society would have collapsed, the war would have gone on and on. The United States would not have been able to govern it from San Francisco," believes Lee Jones.
Fox agrees that the United States was right to not pursue prosecution charges against Hirohito.
"The role that the emperor plays to the Japanese people or certainly played in 1945 is something that I think is practically impossible for a Westerner to understand. And as much as even (Gen. Bonner) Fellers intellectually understands it, can't truly emotionally understand it as an American," says Fox.
Emperor is on a limited release across the United States and is expected to roll out across Europe from next month.

THE EMPEROR’S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON
Dir. Kazuo Hara, 1988
Japan, 122 min.
In Japanese with English subtitles
TUESDAY, JANUARY 7 – 7:30 PM
SUNDAY, JANUARY 12 – 7:30 PM
MONDAY, JANUARY 27 – 7:30 PM
[TRIGGER WARNING: Wartime violence and atrocities]
The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On is a more plainly political, but no less revealing, portrait of Japan since World War II. Kenzo Ozukaki was tireless in his campaign against the commonly held idea in Japan that Emperor Hirohito was not responsible for war atrocities during World War II, even getting arrested in the process. Ozukaki ambushes former soldiers into giving him the answers that he is obsessed with finding. His obsession is unsettling; even people who agree with him politically seem unwilling after a certain point to stand in solidarity with Ozukaki, as his methods get more outrageous, and eventually violent.
The film became surprisingly popular in Japan, earning Hara the New Director Prize from the Directors Guild of Japan (and only 16 years after his first film Goodbye CP!) and drawing relatively large crowds for such controversial and alienating subject matter. Errol Morris has put The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On in his top 5 films of all time, high praise from a master of the documentary film (Michael Moore likes it too, if that’s more your speed). Through the entire movie, Hara remains a silent witness to Ozukaki’s increasing fanatacism and devotion to the only version of the truth he can possibly accept; but when is silence irresponsible? When are those in charge responsible for things they let happen? When is inaction morally indefensible?

"Japanese Gamma Rays" by Grey Payday. Video art montage digitally composited using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 and CoreMelt Complete V2. Edited in Arendal, Norway.
The video tells the pestilential story of the Fukushima Disaster, from the construction of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 1967, the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the government's malpractice of the disaster and the inadvertent acts of plant operator, TEPCO. The video revisits some imagery of Emperor Shōwa during the Second World War, and artworks of civilians depicted during the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. The affects of the disaster, charged by harmful gamma rays, will continue to devastate the nation in the form of poisoned land and sea, and diseases including cancer and morphological irregularities to many lifeforms for decades to come. Given Japan's somber nuclear history, the video questions how the authorities at hand could be so negligent with the responsibility of radioactive power.
GREY PAYDAY
Born from the redundancy of a defunct corporate company, Michael and Toran found themselves with six months of unemployed limbo waiting for the bureaucrats of the world to devour their share of the company’s corpse. With the time Michael and Toran explored the techniques and abilities they brought from their individual backgrounds to capture the nostalgic ambiance of redundancy, unemployment, world tragedy and social complacency.
Music written, produced and arranged by Toran Lee and Michael Andreola. "Japanese Gamma Rays" - taken from Grey Payday's debut album, Not Long Now.

Hirohito
Emperor Shōwa (昭和天皇, Shōwa-tennō, April 29, 1901 – January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death on January 7, 1989. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Emperor Akihito, upon his death. Although better known outside Japan by his personal name Hirohito (裕仁), in Japan, he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death. The name Hirohito (裕仁) means "abundant benevolence".
At the start of his reign, Japan was already one of the great powers — the ninth-largest economy in the world, the third-largest naval power, and one of the four permanent members of the council of the League of Nations. He was the head of state under the limitation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan's imperial expansion, militarization, and involvement in World War II. After the war, he was not prosecuted for war crimes as many other leading government figures were, and his degree of involvement in wartime decisions remains controversial among historians. During the postwar period, he became the symbol of the new state and Japan's recovery, and by the end of his reign, Japan had emerged as the world's second largest economy.

World War II
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.

Emperor
An emperor (through Old French empereor from Latin: 'imperator') is a monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm. Empress, the female equivalent, may indicate an emperor's wife (empress consort), mother (empress dowager), or a woman who rules in her own right (empress regnant). Emperors are generally recognized to be of a higher honour and rank than kings. In Europe the title of Emperor was, since the Middle Ages, considered equal or almost equal in dignity to that of Pope, due to the latter's position as visible head of the Church and spiritual leader of Western Europe. The Emperor of Japan is the only currently reigning monarch whose title is translated into English as "Emperor".
Both kings and emperors are monarchs, but emperor and empress are considered the higher monarchical titles. In so far as there is a strict definition of emperor, it is that an emperor has no relations implying the superiority of any other ruler, and typically rules over more than one nation. Thus a king might be obliged to pay tribute to another ruler, or be restrained in his actions in some unequal fashion, but an emperor should in theory be completely free of such restraints. However monarchs heading empires have not always used the title—the British sovereign did not assume the title until the incorporation of India into the British Empire, and even then used it only in a limited context. For purposes of protocol, emperors were once given precedence over kings in international diplomatic relations; currently, however, precedence amongst heads of state – whether they be Kings, Queens, Emperors, or Presidents – is determined by the duration of time that each one has been continuously in office.

Johnston: In Scotland, your majesty.::Pu Yi, at 15: But then, where's your skirt? In your country, men wear short skirts, do they not?::Reginald Fleming 'R.J.'

Pu Yi, at 15: [in heavily accented English] I know that you know that I know that you know that that is a dialogue between Confucius and Chuang Tzu.
The Governor: [Confronting Puyi in the prison gardens, where Puyi works alone] Perhaps you think we're here to teach men to lie in a new way?::The Governor: [Puyi continues working as if trying to ignore the Governor] Why did you sign every accusation made against you? I didn't stop you from killing yourself to see you like this! Someone who will sign anything to please his enemies... to please me!::The Governor: [Puyi continues working] You knew about a lot of things in Manchukuo... even the secret agreements.

Soldier: He's the greatest General since Sergeant York!
Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland: Inchon has some of the highest tides in the world, but only once a month do they reach a height sufficient for our largest landing craft to go in. There are maybe two three-hour periods when MacArthur can put troops ashore. Which is not enough time for a major amphibious landing.::Gen. Sampson: Exactly. This is little more than a trench in the mudflats. If every possible handicap were listed, Inchon has them all.::Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland: However, gentlemen, MacArthur claims that these very handicaps are what he's counting on. He feels that the enemy won't believe that anyone would try to surmount such obstacles. The element of surprise will be his most valuable ally.::President Harry S. Truman: [Looks at Gen. George C. Marshall] What do you think of His Majesty's plan?::Gen. George C.

Emperor Hirohito Biography
Qi-Acise- http://www.qi-acise.com/ Hirohito, posthumously in Japan officially called Emperor Shōwa or the Shōwa Emperor , (April 29, 1901 -- January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, in Japan he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death. At the start of his reign, Japan was already one of the great powers — the ninth largest economy in the world after Italy, the third largest naval country, and one of the five permanent members of the council of the League of Nati...

(1/5) Timewatch Emperor Hirohito World War II
Hirohito ruled Japan for more than six decades of the 20th century, during a period in which the nation aggressively pursued political dominance in Asia, withstood the devastation of World War II and rebuilt itself into a global economic powerhouse. Taking the official name Showa ("Enlightened Peace"), he began his long reign in 1926, with a divine claim to the throne as the 124th emperor in direct lineage to Amaterasu, a mythological sun goddess. At the close of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, in charge of the U.S. occupation of Japan, kept Hirohito on the throne rather than charge him with war crimes, and Hirohito renounced his divinity and agreed to adopt a constitutional monarchy. During Hirohito's lifetime he was often depicted as a benign and even passive bystander to events...

Emperor explores US post war ties with Japan - cinema
http://www.euronews.com/ When Japan surrendered at the end of the second World War, the US Supreme Commander was tasked with deciding the fate of Emperor Hirohito. Tommy Lee Jones plays General Douglas MacArthur who charges Matthew Fox as General Fellers with determining if the Emperor should face trial for war crimes. Actor Tommy Lee Jones says he is a fan of the General: "I admired MacArthur greatly for understanding what it would take to come out of the war with a democratic, industrial ally on the Pacific Rim, as opposed to a vanquished, dead enemy." "If he had killed the emperor, society would have collapsed, the war would have gone on and on. The United States would not have been able to govern it from San Francisco," believes Lee Jones. Fox agrees that the United States was rig...

The Orbs were originally exhibited at Future Gallery, Berlin in summer 2016. The video focuses on the Minakata Mandala, a shape drawn by a Japanese naturalist named Minakata Kumagusu, who collected slime mold samples for Emperor Hirohito in the 1920s. In a letter to a Buddhist monk, Kumagusu represented his view of the world through the mandala drawing: “With humans placed at the center of the diagram, our ability to comprehend causal connections between things diminishes as they are located further outward from the center and our awareness of them becomes more tenuous.” Here, Kumagusu's mandala is spatialized and chrome...

Hirohito ruled Japan for more than six decades of the 20th century, during a period in which the nation aggressively pursued political dominance in Asia, withstood the devastation of World War II and rebuilt itself into a global economic powerhouse. Taking the official name Showa ("Enlightened Peace"), he began his long reign in 1926, with a divine claim to the throne as the 124th emperor in direct lineage to Amaterasu, a mythological sun goddess. At the close of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, in charge of the U.S. occupation of Japan, kept Hirohito on the throne rather than charge him with war crimes, and Hirohito renounced his divinity and agreed to adopt a constitutional monarchy. During Hirohito's lifetime he was often depicted as a benign and even passive bystander to events, more interested in marine biology than geopolitics. Since his death in 1989, that image has been challenged by critics who argue that Hirohito encouraged the military aggression toward China in the early 1930s, participated in the planning of the attacks on Pearl Harbor (1941) and prolonged the war against the U.S. and Great Britain unnecessarily. After his death in 1989, Hirohito was succeeded by his son, the Emperor Akihito.
Hirohito, also known as Tenno Showa or Emperor Showa, was the son of Emperor Taisho and grandson of Emperor Meiji; the most recent addition to the royal line is Hirohito's great-grandson Prince Hisahito, born in 2006... Hirohito's 62-year reign was the longest in Japanese history.

http://www.euronews.com/ When Japan surrendered at the end of the second World War, the US Supreme Commander was tasked with deciding the fate of Emperor Hirohito.
Tommy Lee Jones plays General Douglas MacArthur who charges Matthew Fox as General Fellers with determining if the Emperor should face trial for war crimes.
Actor Tommy Lee Jones says he is a fan of the General: "I admired MacArthur greatly for understanding what it would take to come out of the war with a democratic, industrial ally on the Pacific Rim, as opposed to a vanquished, dead enemy."
"If he had killed the emperor, society would have collapsed, the war would have gone on and on. The United States would not have been able to govern it from San Francisco," believes Lee Jones.
Fox agrees that the United States was right to not pursue prosecution charges against Hirohito.
"The role that the emperor plays to the Japanese people or certainly played in 1945 is something that I think is practically impossible for a Westerner to understand. And as much as even (Gen. Bonner) Fellers intellectually understands it, can't truly emotionally understand it as an American," says Fox.
Emperor is on a limited release across the United States and is expected to roll out across Europe from next month.

MONDAY, JANUARY 27 – 7:30 PM
[TRIGGER WARNING: Wartime violence and atrocities]
The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On is a more plainly political, but no less revealing, portrait of Japan since World War II. Kenzo Ozukaki was tireless in his campaign against the commonly held idea in Japan that Emperor Hirohito was not responsible for war atrocities during World War II, even getting arrested in the process. Ozukaki ambushes former soldiers into giving him the answers that he is obsessed with finding. His obsession is unsettling; even people who agree with him politically seem unwilling after a certain point to stand in solidarity with Ozukaki, as his methods get more outrageous, and eventually violent.
The film became surprisingly popular in Japan, earning Hara the New Director Prize from the Directors Guild of Japan (and only 16 years after his first film Goodbye CP!) and drawing relatively large crowds for such controversial and alienating subject matter. Errol Morris has put The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On in his top 5 films of all time, high praise from a master of the documentary film (Michael Moore likes it too, if that’s more your speed). Through the entire movie, Hara remains a silent witness to Ozukaki’s increasing fanatacism and devotion to the only version of the truth he can possibly accept; but when is silence irresponsible? When are those in charge responsible for things they let happen? When is inaction morally indefensible?

"Japanese Gamma Rays" by Grey Payday. Video art montage digitally composited using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 and CoreMelt Complete V2. Edited in Arendal, Norway.
The video tells the pestilential story of the Fukushima Disaster, from the construction of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 1967, the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the government's malpractice of the disaster and the inadvertent acts of plant operator, TEPCO. The video revisits some imagery of Emperor Shōwa during the Second World War, and artworks of civilians depicted during the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. The affects of the disaster, charged by harmful gamma rays, will continue to devastate the nation in the form of poisoned land and sea, and diseases including cancer and morphological irregularities to many lifeforms for decades to come. Given Japan's somber nuclear history, the video questions how the authorities at hand could be so negligent with the responsibility of radioactive power.
GREY PAYDAY
Born from the redundancy of a defunct corporate company, Michael and Toran found themselves with six months of unemployed limbo waiting for the bureaucrats of the world to devour their share of the company’s corpse. With the time Michael and Toran explored the techniques and abilities they brought from their individual backgrounds to capture the nostalgic ambiance of redundancy, unemployment, world tragedy and social complacency.
Music written, produced and arranged by Toran Lee and Michael Andreola. "Japanese Gamma Rays" - taken from Grey Payday's debut album, Not Long Now.

A video loop based on footage of Orbs, a series of three spherical mazes juxtaposing Physarum polycephalum, or the slime mold, with organizational and spiritual charts. The Orbs were originally exhibited at Future Gallery, Berlin in summer 2016.
The video focuses on the Minakata Mandala, a shape drawn by a Japanese naturalist named Minakata Kumagusu, who collected slime mold samples for Emperor Hirohito in the 1920s. In a letter to a Buddhist monk, Kumagusu represented his view of the world through the mandala drawing: “With humans placed at the center of the diagram, our ability to comprehend causal connections between things diminishes as they are located further outward from the center and our awareness of them becomes more tenuous.”
Here, Kumagusu's mandala is spatialized and chromed in reference to T-1000, a robot from the Terminator that likens to the slime mold: a self-reconfiguring, many-headed system, liquid inside and shape-shifting gel-like structures outside. A chant, or a sounding mantra accompanies the amalgamation of these two cultural references, or forms of organization, and the slime mold’s body as it slowly extends itself around them.

A chant, or a sounding mantra accompanies the amalgamation of these two cultural references, or forms of organization, and the slime mold’s body as it slowly extends itself around them.

One of the Greatest Generation
Billy J. Millis went peacefully to meet the Lord on July 12,
2016. Born to Emma and Ernest Millis on December 10, 1920
outside Martinsville, IL. Billy frequently said,”I had a great
life-I could not have had better”. He is predeceased by his parents,
his three brothers, Dwight, Buell and Forrest, their wives and
his beloved wife, Bette and special daughter, Jo Linda. He is
succeeded by his daughters, Carol Millis McKenzie, Ph.D., of
Lakeway and Patricia (Trish) Millis, RN, of Austin and three
dachshunds.
Raised on a farm with his brothers, mother and schoolteacher
father, Billy had no interest in agriculture. From a young age,
he was fascinated with how things worked. He was the local
“fix-it” kid, repairing radios, motorcycles and running the
projector al the movie.
After a stint at the University of Illinois, he joined the Army Air
Corp on February 1, 1941. He was sent to weather observers’
school and then flight school. Upon graduation on 9 October
1942 (Class 42-I), he began a beloved career as a military
pilot. He was proud of his 9000 air hours and the planes he
flew-BT-13 Vultee, Fairchild PT-19, BT-14, AT-6, BC -1, AT-17, AT -9,
B-25, B-17, B-29, C-47, DC-3, C-97, C-124, C-54, C-118,C-124,
TY-39. While stationed at Altus Air Base, OK as a flight instructor
he met and married Bette Jo White. After their June 18, 1944
wedding day, the couple quickly moved regularly throughout
his 30+year military career.
In the Admiralty Islands, he had an amateur radio license and
the call sign KG6AV/VK9 – rare because it was an Australian/
American call sign.At that same time, he perfected air to
ground communications in military aircraft.
As a MATS pilot, he flew the Berlin airlift, in and out of Korea
and Vietnam and all over the world fixing telecommunications
problems. He frequently attributes his success and happiness
in the military to his wife, Bette, who took it all in stride and
looked at every move and every TDY as an adventure.
Some of his favorite assignments were Air Attaché to the
US Ambassador (MAAG) in Tokyo (1959-64). He attended
Japanese language school at Yale for a year before the
assignment and maintained a lifelong fluency in Japanese –
speaking, reading and writing. The family embraced and
loved Japan. Lifelong friendships were made with the
following people: Tome Kojima, who lived with the family, Tutor
Sugime, a cousin of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Minou Genda,
the designer of the raid on Pearl Harbor and leader of the
Japanese Air Force, and Edwin O Ramsey, an American
guerrilla fighter who organized 50 thousand Filipinos to overthrow
the Japanese army and allowed General McArthur to retake
the Philippines.
After Japan, he was given the command that the Col. Millis
loved the most. He was assigned CO of the 5th Mobile
Communication Command (now the 5th Mobile Combat Unit
– 5th MOB) in Warner Robbins, GA.That unit continues to
provide outstanding combat communications support to the Air
Force. In 2014, Col. Millis was honored by the command at a
reunion in Georgia.
After another overseas assignment, the family retired from
Bergstrom (12th Air Force), Austin, TX where they made their
home for 45 years. Billy then worked for the State of Texas,
implementing TEXAN and TELPAC telecommunications networks
throughout the state.
While in Austin, he and Bette helped start Riverbend Church.
He was the third person baptized in that church; his daughter
Linda was the first.
In May 2010, Billy lost the love of his life,wife of 68 years,Bette. He had been a faithful caregiver to her for ten years.
He was able to stay in his home thanks to caregiver, Laura andhis daughters.
A memorial service will be held on August 19 at 11 AM at
Smith Chapel, Riverbend Church, Austin, TX. A luncheon will
be held following the service. Please RSVP by August 15 to
the family at cmckenz@hotmail.com if you will be able to
attend the luncheon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made
to the Downs Syndrome Association of Central Texas at DSACT.

A stealth vibration cuts through the dark waters of the Western Pacific. This 400 foot submarine careens toward her target. Inside 3 kamikaze pilots prepare for their final, glorious mission. But before they reach their target, this massive Sen Toku 400-class submarine is called off. Emperor Hirohito has surrendered to the Allies. The year is 1945. World War II has ended.
Just before the atomic bomb forced Japan into submission, the Imperial Navy sent a fleet of incredibly advanced combat subs to attack a major U.S. naval base in the Pacific. But when Japan surrendered, the U.S. Navy confiscated them, only to later have them scuttled near Hawaii when Soviet scientists demanded access. Now a team of explorers thinks they can find some of these lost subs in the Pacific's dark waters. From the Hawaiian island of Oahu, deep submergence vehicle pilots Terry Kerby and Max Cremer, along with a team of devoted explorers, prepare to dive to depths of nearly 3,000 feet to hunt for some of WWII's largest and fastest submarines - in a Japanese super-submarine graveyard.
