Japan, an island nation surrounded by sea. It's truly remarkable how such a small country has overcome numerous great trials to play a significant role in many fields within the international community. How did it rise from the harsh, difficult postwar period to become what it is today? I've heard that the Japanese people possess the Yamato spirit—never yielding to any hardship—along with a deep sense of gratitude and the desire to repay kindness. I deeply respect the Japanese people for this blend of strength and sensitivity, and I cherish the "gratitude and repaying kindness" that existed in the good old days of Japan. I believe this is a "heart" that the Japanese must never forget, even as globalization advances.
