Takeshi Kitano, one of famous filmmaker in Japan, is in Paris. I just watched a TV news and learned it. The TV news reported mainly about his award from France government (sorry, at this moment, I don't have time to check what the name is or other detail). But what impressed me the most is his exhibition in Paris.
The news said his main mission in Paris is this exhibition.
The TV news I watched only showed its brief scenery of the exhibition, but I definitely noticed his very strong message to Europeans who are about to set the rule of Tuna-fishing ban.
I cannot go there to see the exhibit, but I want whoever read this blog (I am not sure if there's any....) to know the message is not offensive, but the straight and honest feeling of us, Japanese. Okay, we love Tuna. Therefore, we don't eat them often. Japanese fishermen keeps the regulation. Someone who don't really follow the history, tradition or love we have over centuries, are the ones who break international rule. I was so worried about the CITES meeting and how Japan's reaction would go through.
I honestly cannot imagine if any of Japanese representatives can at least send our true and sincere messages to other countries at the meeting.
But we still have a hope. Takeshi's exhibition would definitely send a message to more people. I really hope his message will reach them without any twisted mind.
Well, I have no time to check my English or my writings' clearness. But let me anyway upload it.
My strong message to Europe is this: "how about rabbit? We keep rabbit as a cute pet and we don't consider them as a food at all.
AND
Have we ever said anything about that to you?"
