    Prime Minister's Commission on Japan's Goals in the 21St Century

    Profile of the Prime Minister’s Commission on Japan’s Goals in the 21st Century On January 18, 2000, members of the Prime Minister’s Commission on Japan’s Goals in the 21st Century submitted its final report titled “The Frontier Within: Individual Empowerment and Better Governance in the New Millennium” to Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi after approximately ten months of intense deliberations and consultations. The Prime Minister established the Commission on March 30, 1999, appointing sixteen leading private citizens from diverse fields of expertise as its members (see the accompanying list). The mandate of the Commission was to produce a report for the Prime Minister on the desirable future direction of Japan to which the next generation of Japanese can aspire in the new century, thus encouraging a broader national debate on the subject. The Commission comprised five subcommittees with thirty-three additional experts drawn from various fields (see the accompanying lists). Each subcommittee was assigned one of five themes: (1) Japan’s Place in the World, (2) Prosperity and Dynamism, (3) Achieving a Contented and Enriching Life, (4) A Beautiful Country and a Safe Society, and (5) Future of the Japanese. The Commission met four times and the subcommittees met forty times in the course of eight months, and Prime Minister Obuchi participated in eleven of those meetings. The Prime Minister also attended an overnight retreat held in the outskirts of Tokyo on August 6 and 7, 1999. In keeping with the Prime Minister’s hope that the working process of the Commission be open to the public, minutes of the proceedings of the Commission and subcommittee meetings were posted on the Web site, and opinions and concrete recommendations were actively solicited from the public through e-mail and fax.

    CULTURE In Memoriam: Yamazaki Masakazu – The Modern State and Charlie Brown Karube Tadashi, Professor, University of Tokyo Yamazaki Masakazu, Ph.D. Playwright and Critic Born 1934 in Kyoto Prefecture. He completed the doctoral course at the Kyoto University Graduate School, specializing in aesthetics. He served as a professor at Kansai University and Osaka University, and was the President of the University of East Asia. In 2006 he was made a Person of Cultural Merit and awarded the Order of Culture in 2018. His best-known plays are Zeami , Oedipus Shoten (The ascension of Oedipus) and The man who captured Eichmann—words . His many written works include Gekiteki naru nihonjin (Japanese, as Theoretical People), Yawarakai kojinshugi no tanjo (Birth of soft individualism), Shako suru ningen (Homo Sociabilis: Sociability and Human Beings), Soshoku to dezain (Decoration and design) and Rizumu no tetsugaku noto (Notes on the philosophy of rhythm). Photo: ©2013 H.Endo It was a day not long after the US Al-Qaeda terror attacks of September 11, 2001. People who spoke of the attacks still bore strained expressions, so less than a week afterwards, I think. And it was around that time that I first had the pleasure of meeting Yamazaki Masakazu at a seminar run by The Suntory Foundation. This was the “Modern State and Ethics” seminar led by the late Sakamoto Takao. Discuss Japan—Japan Foreign Policy Forum No. 61 That day the seminar was held in Osaka and, after the discussion finished we went to eat out, where I encountered Yamazaki as we all chatted. Of course the talk was of the terrible events in New York and focused on how the international situation might develop.
