We are publishing "The State of Okashin 2018," our annual disclosure report, in order to foster an even deeper understanding of our bank, and we would invite everyone to read it. Local economic conditions continued along the path of a gentle recovery in 2017, including a transition to stronger production activities due to increases in exports and equipment investment. However, the sense of uncertainty about the future also increased due to a greater sense of labor shortages among companies as well as concerns over increasing tension surrounding North Korea and trade friction caused by the United States. On the financial side of the economy during this time, interest rate levels have continued to be extremely low, with the Bank of Japan maintaining a policy of negative interest rates. Amidst these financial and economic conditions, we have striven to improve the quality of our financial services with a focus on fields in which our clients have growing needs, such as business match-making, business succession and inheritance, real estate utilization, health care and welfare, and overseas business support, based on an approach that seeks mutual advantage and puts fairness before profits, in accordance with the medium-term business plan we launched in 2015, our "Three-Year Plan for Transitioning from Quantity to Quality." With regard to bank locations, we moved our Nagoya Branch to the Nagoya Building newly constructed in the Misono district of Nagoya, and our Okazaki Ekinishi Branch, Ikeura Branch, Handa Branch, and Hina Branch also moved to new facilities. We have also worked to offer greater convenience for our customers by continuing to install new ATMs in shopping centers and other locations. With the new medium-term management plan that we are starting in 2018, our "Three-Year Plan for Reform and Creativity," we aim to become a financial institution that thrills customers and enriches employees by creating new added value without being limited by previous ways of thinking, via five strategies that concern sales, bank branches, business operations, personnel, and finances. Our personnel and executives are united in our efforts to pursue business operations that will earn an even higher level of trust from our customers, and we humbly ask for your continued support in these efforts.

What Happened to the Honorifics in a Local Japanese Dialect in 55 ears:y A Report from the Okazaki Survey on Honorifics Abstract This paper reports the analysis of the three trend samples from the Okazaki Honorifics Survey, a longitudinal survey by the National Language Research Institute on the use and the awareness of honorifics in Okazaki city, Aichi Prefecture in Japan. Its main results are: (1) the Okazakians are using more polite forms over the 55 years; (2) the effect of the three social variables (sex, age, and educational background), which used to be strong factors controlling the use of the honorifics in the speech community, are diminishing over the years; (3) in OSH I and II, the questions show clustering by the feature [±service interaction], while the same 11 questions in OSH III exhibit clustering by a different feature, [±spontaneous]; (4) the change in (3) and (4) can be accounted for nicely by the Democratization Hypothesis proposed by Inoue (1999) for the variation and change of honorifics in other Japanese dialects.

    August 20, 2012 Prepared： NGO Network for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (ERD Net) Submitted: The International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism – Japan Committee – IMADR-JC To the CERD Secretariat: We are pleased to submit the report concerning the hate speech against minority communities in Japan hoping that this could contribute to the CERD thematic discussion on hate speech of August 30, 2012. The report covers the propaganda of hate speech and dissemination of derogatory messages against some minority communities in Japan, namely Buraku, Zainichi Koreans and migrants. The present report does not cover the other minority communities such as Ryukyu-Okinawans and the Ainu, but we believe that a similar manifestation would be demonstrated against them when they face the challenge of hate speech. When we discuss about the hate speech in Japan, it is nothing but only a problem under no control. The main reasons rest with the absence of criminal code that prohibits and sanctions racist hate speech. Unless a committed hate speech has some connections or implications to other crimes, there is no legal means that forces an immediate halt of such act. Hate speech could constitute an illegal act under the civil law and only when it is aimed at specific individuals. As indicated in several cases contained in this report, perpetrators of hate speech have been arrested, charged and convicted for the crimes of defamation, forgery of private documents, damage to property, and etc. that are not intended to sanction hate speech. Racially motivated acts are only sanctioned as petty crimes under the present law in Japan, thus, conviction of such acts is less effective in terms of prevention of crimes.
