An Article On Yasue Erikawa’s “Comfort Women” Activism (No Mention of U.C. or Moon)

By Chung Min-uck
A Japanese activist urged the Japanese government to make a formal apology, Tuesday, for the sexual enslavement of Korean women during its colonial rule here (1910-1945) and inform the whole world about the truth of the issue.
“It is essential for Japan to face history in an upright manner and make a formal apology to Koreans, especially regarding the sexual enslavement,” said Yasue Erikawa, 66, president of the Group that Promotes Friendship by Overcoming the History between Korea and Japan, in an interview with The Korea Times, “This will serve as a starting point in mending ever-deteriorating Korea-Japan ties.”
Referring to past occasions in which former Japanese leaders offered apologies for wartime atrocities against Koreans including those made by former Japanese Prime Ministers Tomiichi Murayama in 1995 and Naoto Kan in 2010, the activist argued that these cannot be accepted as full and sincere.
“(The past apologies) do not count because no Koreans regard them as sincere,” said Erikawa. “Together with a renewed formal apology, Japanese government should also launch an investigation into its drafting of Korean women for sexual slavery and open up the truth to the entire world.”
The group president first came to Korea in 1970 when she married a Korean.
Living in Korea since then, she said she found out about the truth behind the past deeds done by the military of her homeland.
“I got to know many things about what Japanese have done to Koreans after coming to Korea,” said Erikawa. “The sexual enslavement hurt me the most and I came to think what I can do about it. It goes same for the Japanese who joined the group.”
She said her driving force to establish the group came when she saw the Korea-Japan relations deteriorate due to the sexual enslavement of Korean women.
It was established in May 2012 with a small group of Japanese people regularly visiting nursing homes where some of the sexual slavery victims reside.
“I felt the same feeling when I recently heard of the news that a Korean man drove his one-ton truck into the entrance of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul,” Erikawa said. “Can’t the Korea-Japan relationship be something like that between my husband and I, full of love and trust? I really felt sad.”
The civic group leader also commented on the ongoing civic movements led by the Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan, a Seoul-based civic group that holds “Wednesday rallies” regularly in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul demanding proper compensation and a full apology to the victims.
“The council displays a sign stating sexual slavery but I am doubtful of its purpose as it moves in a direction to divide Korean-Japan ties and also the ties between the government and ordinary people,” she said. “This also motivated me to launch the organization.”
Meanwhile, Erikawa said her group is planning to expand its agenda to other problems between the two neighboring countries such as the Dokdo islets.

Hello there! For the mini event may you please do gintama with the au avatar the last airbender, thank you!
Hello there, my lovely anon! I definitely can do that - I really couldn't come up with solid ideas, so I admit to taking the lazy way out, so have a pretty comprehensive list on what type of Benders everyone would be in this AU! And guys, there are so many characters in Gintama so I swear it wasn't as easy and lazy as it looks! Thanks for sending in a request and I hope you'll enjoy!
Okay, so we're going into this AU with there being the four major bending types - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each bending type is as it is portrayed in Avatar: The Last Airbender, with people possessing different degrees of bending and different skills being present within each bending type.
So, when considering which type of Bender each character would be, I kind of broke it down into personality types and traits and qualities to look for, based on what I figure the 'stereotypical' Bender is for each of the four.
Earth Benders are a little rough around the edges, slow to anger, slow to decide on things, but stubborn once their mind is made up. They can be sensitive and they are often very patient.
Air Benders are gentle souls, respectful and adaptable, changeable. They're fast, both in their movements and in their thoughts.
Water Benders are typically calm and easy-going, flexible enough to adapt to their companions or situations. They're often quite easy to talk to and rather content with their lives.
Fire Benders are often prideful and confident individuals who are loyal, determined and ambitious. They can be very playful and fun but they often also have very short fuses on their tempers, which can be very volatile and explosive.
Keeping that in mind, this is what I figure the characters would be for Benders.

Fumiko, I was reading some extra materials and I noticed that the bully that made Ikeda give up on life and Kaho has the same last name, with the same spelling, I don't think it's a coincidence... Do you think they are related in any way?
If we're talking about canon-verse, I genuinely don't think they're related at all. It's not uncommon to share the same surname with someone completely unrelated, after all. Unless the surname is very rare, that is (Tsuchiya is a fairly common surname).
If there's ever a chance that they could be related, the most we could assume here was that Shou is a distant relative of Kaho's... who was likely disowned by his family branch.
They're living completely different lives so the chances of them being related is very slim 🤷🏽♂️
But sometime in the middle of 2021, I had a Tower of God AU phase where I combined the concept and moral standards of TOG with AssClass characters (who are of various ages in the AU, by the way).
In TOG, certain family names have a big significance to the world-building. And so, Kaho and Shou were related in the TOG AU... but then I already grew out of my phase before I could drop any more lore I had for the AU 😅
But here's a tidbit I had written in my old notes:
(The Harukawa family thingy was explained in the Kaho and Maehara comic that I drew for the AU... It's in the masterlist that I just linked if you're curious).
And there was this really long Kaho oneshot from the AU that I just gave up writing on at the same time I grew out of my TOG AU phase (it was even nearly around 30k words when I abandoned it lol.... what a waste 💀).
Here's a thingy that talked about it a little:
The mere idea of Kaho and Shou being related is something I have never really taken seriously, simply because it doesn't make that much sense to me in canon-verse.
Perfect for an AU though.
#i mean i would love to slowly get back into the tog au#but I'm emotionally occupied with the puey stays au atm so#in the first place the kaho oneshot was pretty difficult to read ngl#the paragraphs were too lengthy and the transitions were kinda confusing#so i don't think i'll even post the unfinished version 😭#assassination classroom#ansatsu kyoushitsu#assclass#ask box#ask answered#asterbeladona#tsuchiya kaho#tsuchiya shou#tower of god au

some worthwhile lgbt representation i have seen in manga
i thought it might be nice to have a list of lgbt manga made by and for the lgbt community. this means that it avoids yaoi (mlm manga made by and for women), yuri (wlw manga made by and for men) and otokonoko (stories about men-crossdressing-as-women made by and for men). i’m sure my list isn’t perfect, but it’s a starting point.
multicategory
shimanami tasogare by kamatani yuuki (gay male protag, young gnc/transfeminine person, married lesbian couple, trans man, and many other lgbt people) (a beautiful 4-volume manga about a lounge where lgbt people come to be themselves. kamatani is themself nonbinary.)
if you read nothing else on this list i highly recommend shimanami!
lesbian and wlw
love my life by yamaji ebine
a report on how i was so lonely i visited a lesbian prostitute by nagata kabi (and my solo exchange diary, its sequel, which i could not find a scanlation for even though [because?] it’s been released in english)
lemonade by shioya teruko
ohana holoholo by torino shino (two bisexual women raising a child together)
octave by akiyama haru
pieta by haruno nanae
collectors by nishi uko
gay and mlm
my brother’s husband by tagame gengoroh
one thousand and one nights by okadaya tetsuzoh
mentaiko is a man in a relationship with another man, but his manga are either underage porn or porn with misogyny, so his work... isn’t recommended.
i have also found that tsukumo gou is a man in a relationship with another man, but as he mostly draws underage porn it’s also not really recommended.
trans people
yuureitou by nogizaka tarou (trans man protag, genderfluid protag) (this one is a little weird bc the book and chapter covers often sexualize tetsuo and make a big deal out of his afab figure, yet the story and interior artwork treat him with respect)
claudine...! by ikeda riyoko (trans man protag) (it’s from the 70s, and the bury your lgbts trope is in full effect)
wandering son by shimura takako (trans girl protag, transmasculine/nb protag)
bokura no hentai by fumi fumiko (trans girl protag, crossdressing gay man protag)
double house by haruno nanae (trans woman protag)
brave new world of love by yamada nari (trans girl protag - one of two stories that i could verify was made by an actual trans person)
the bride was a boy by chii (trans woman protag - second story of two that i could verify was made by a trans person)
feel free to add on!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

2018 Anticipated Japanese Books in English
2017 was quite a year. The Japanese comic and light novel market in English is apparently is in a period of inundation again. At least my wallet feels like it. Though, the variety on offer should be a healthy thing. Looking forward into 2018 are many new book licenses from Japan. So I put together a list of titles I’m excited about that are expected to make their English debut in the coming months. (Of course release dates/cover art can and do shift.)
January
Salior Moon Eternal Edition
Kodansha Comic is giving Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon a go again releasing the first of the ten volumes of the Japanese Perfect Edition in English. The new English edition is advertised as boasting “glittering holographic coating, an extra-large size, premium paper, French flaps, and a newly-revised translation!” I have the Japanese edition so you bet I’ll do a comparison at some point. I really would like to see an accessible, top quality English edition of Sailor Moon for once.
February
Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by Yoshikazu Takeuchi
The first Perfect Blue novel and basis for Satoshi Kon’s classic animated psychological thriller should grace English speaking fans in 2017 from Seven Seas.
April
Éclair: Anata ni Hibiku Yuri Anthology
Yen Press is releasing more comics about girls liking girls with a collection featuring works from 16 artists: Sakuya Amano, Hirao Auri, Canno, Chihiro Harumi, Uta Isaki, Hachi Itou, Izumi Kawanami, Kobacha, Mekimeki, Nakatani Nio, Shiori Nishio, Amano Shuninta, Kagekichi Tadano, Fumiko Takada, Kitao Taki, and Kazuno Yuikawa. I find this exciting since not only are licensed anthologies rare but, also because Éclair will mark the first works in English for some artists.
Spring
The Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda
It’s been over two years since this was licensed in English by Udon. After production problems, word on the net is sometime in spring should see the long awaited release of this historical fiction classic. I’m crossing my fingers 2018 is the year.
June
Claudine by Riyoko Ikeda
Another of Ikeda’s classic girls’ comic set in 18th century France featuring a transgender character.
Here’s hoping Seven Seas won’t run into the same trouble as Udon with this release.
July
Mushroom Girls in Love by Kei Murayama
This one-shot GL/yuri fantasy is cute and peculiar. It’s on my list despite the spiders. (Ugh!)

Bo Hi Pak & The Great Deception - Part 5
For those who want to catch up on this series, I'm providing links below, to Parts 1-4:
http://whatisonthemoon.tumblr.com/post/182088098708/bo-hi-pak-the-great-deception
http://whatisonthemoon.tumblr.com/post/182254317901/bo-hi-pak-the-great-deception-part-2
http://whatisonthemoon.tumblr.com/post/182358383852/bo-hi-pak-the-great-deception-part-3
http://whatisonthemoon.tumblr.com/post/182421692787/bo-hi-pak-the-great-deception-part-4
Now, before getting to Part 5, let's look at some excerpts from a New York Times article that came out during this time period.
The article goes into the Moon Organization's fight against publishers printing material that vehemently opposed the "Narrative". Take special note, folks, that a book about Hitler's Nazi Occultism was sued by Neil Salonen, et al. Apparently Neil didn't feel the book was appropiate for public consumption. I disagree;
In two separate lawsuits filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the Unification Church is suing Ted Patrick, author, and E. P. Dutton, publisher, of “Let Our Children Go,” for $15 million, and Ethel (Dusty) Sklar, author, and Harper & Row, publisher, of “Gods & Beasts: The Nazis and the Occult,” for $4 million.
Other writers have been sued or threatened with legal action by the Unification Church. Bruce Nussbaum, for example, was sued for $10 million because of an article that appeared in The American Banker two years ago; the suit was dismissed.
In legal documents on file in Supreme Court in New York, the Unification Church contends that it enjoys “a good reputation in the religious community ... for its honesty, good credit and fair dealing and for the admirable human qualities of its members,” and then maintains that the publishers and authors ridicule and defame the church in such a way as to deprive it of present and potential membership and contributions.
Miss Sklar's book draws parallels between the fanaticism and obedience of Germany's occult societies during the Nazi era and some of the tactics of recruitment and methods employed by what is said to be “Moon's brainwashing techniques.”
There has been no attempt made to bar publication or distribution of either book. But, according to publishing‐industry lawyers, the Unification Church could prevent criticism through the chilling effect of continued court cases.
(https://www.nytimes.com/1978/05/08/archives/moon-church-is-suing-publishers-pattern-is-similar-tactics-are.html)
For those who would like to read the book about Nazi Occultism and how it relates to the early years of the Unification Church, here is a link to a pdf file of the book:
https://the-eye.eu/public/concen.org/Dusty%20Sklar%20-%20The%20Nazis%20and%20the%20Occult%20-%20pdf%20%5BTKRG%5D/Dusty%20Sklar%20-%20The%20Nazis%20and%20the%20Occult%20-%20pdf%20%5BTKRG%5D.pdf
So with that, let's get right to it...Part 5 of the series "Bo Hi Pak & The Great Deception:
April 20, 1978
Mr. FRASER: ...the lady from Japan. You testified that you came to Korea and you gave her the 30 $100 bills you had gotten.
Mr. PAK: What is your question?
Mr. FRASER: The lady's name is Fumiko Ikeda, is that correct?
Mr. PAK: That is correct?
Mr. FRASER: Who is Yasue Erikawa?
Mr. PAK: Is that a Japanese name?
Mr. FRASER: I think it probably is, but I am simply asking if you know that name, Yasue Erikawa.
Mr. PAK: I know the name recently reported in a Japanese paper, yes. I heard the name.
Mr. FRASER: Who is Yasue Erikawa?
Mr. PAK: I do not know.
Mr. FRASER: ...you yourself do not know a person by that name?
Mr. PAK: I learned recently that Ikeda Fumiko has a formal name. That name is Erikawa Yasue.
Mr. FRASER: You have no knowledge that she had this other name?
Mr. PAK: No.
Mr. FRASER: You have no knowledge of Yasue Erikawa, who is a member of the International Federation for Victory Over Communism?
Mr. PAK: No.
Mr. FRASER: Now Colonel, you testified on March 22 that you retired from the service of the Korean Government in the month of October 1964, Is that right?
Mr. PAK: That was my best recollection.
Mr. FRASER: Is that still your recollection?
Mr. PAK: Well, I am not God, I can't be 100 percent sure...
Mr. FRASER: After that did you take a special assignment from the Government of South Korea?
Mr. PAK: ...I do not recall getting any special assignment from the Korean Government, no.
Mr. FRASER: Now Colonel, between October and January -- I hope you will search your memory -- is it possible that you were given a special assignment or special mission by the Government of South Korea?
Mr. PAK: Mr. Chairman, I swear to God I do not have that assignment. If you prove me otherwise, come forward with the proof.
Mr. FRASER: I have a letter here signed Seung Kook Yoon, brigadier general...It goes on to say that your term of duty was to end in October 1964 but because of an additional mission you were granted an extension of 3 and a half months...Does that refresh your recollection?
Mr. PAK: In this letter, which it is my first opportunity to look at, I explained what happened at that time to the best of my recollection...
Mr. FRASER: Colonel...How did you support yourself during the first year 1965 when you took over the job in KCFF?
Mr. PAK: First of all, we survived, otherwise we would not be here...I cannot recall how I survived...
Mr. FRASER: In your sworn statement in April 1965 it appears that you said you had $500 in the Riggs National Bank. Is that what your savings were?
Mr. PAK: Probably we had $500 in the Riggs National. That does not mean that we don't have savings.
Mr. FRASER: ...Where else did you have your savings?
Mr. PAK: I do not know. I do not recall. However, probably my wife had some cash savings...
Mr. FRASER: In any kind of institution?
Mr. PAK: Normally we keep it in cash...
Mr. FRASER: At home?
Mr. PAK: Yes.
Mr. FRASER: Beside the account in the Riggs National Bank did you have any other accounts in any financial institutions in terms of any assets or deposits of money? Did you have them in any other institutions?
Mr. PAK: I do not have any recollection.
Mr. FRASER: You just don't know? You might have had 10 bank accounts?
Mr. PAK: I know I don't have 10 bank accounts. The primary account I used was the Riggs National.
Mr. FRASER: Do you remember any other institution?
Mr. PAK: I cannot be absolutely sure, but I presume we don't. We didn't open any other account.
Mr. FRASER: Did you ever pay back any money you got?
Mr. PAK: If I had a loan I paid it back. If the understanding was clear it was a loan, then certainly I paid it back.
Mr. FRASER: ...When you came back from Korea in January of 1965 did you then own a home in the United States?
Mr. PAK: Yes...
Mr. FRASER: Then in May 1968 you purchased a home in McLean, Va.?
Mr. PAK: Yes.
Mr. FRASER: For $83,000?
Mr. PAK: That is just about, I guess, correct.
Mr. FRASER: Did you sell the house you had in order to help pay for the new home?
Mr. PAK: I said I didn't...
Mr. FRASER: ...you kept your old home and bought the new one for $83,000?
Mr. PAK: That is correct. I did not actually buy the house. I built the house.
Mr. FRASER: Now you were the owner of two houses and you apparently came up over a period of 1 or 2 years with an additional $30,000 in cash. Where did that come from?
Mr. PAK: The answer is very easy...I have to go through this because I want to answer this fully...
(https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=pur1.32754077268930;view=1up;seq=5, Pages 262-273)
You know, since Yasue Erikawa is still around, maybe someone should just go over to Sanctuary Church where she "works" now, and ask her a few questions about this Bo Hi Pak series I'm writing here. I'd love to hear what she might have to say...but then again...she might plead "The 5th" and say "I am a very dangerous person":
(http://howwelldoyouknowyourmoon.tumblr.com/post/112913697983/yasue-erikawa-moon-money-shame-guilt-fear-and
Well, I guess that's it for now...until Part 6.
'Til the next,

On the KCIA’s Money for Yasue Erikawa (1978)
The following text is the report from "Investigation of Korean-American relations" in 1978, or the Fraser report. Fumiko Ikeda is another name for Yasue Erikawa, current leader of the Sanctuary Church in Japan. Yasue Erikawa was matched and blessed to Cho Sung Jun in the 777 Blessing. She was once the president of the UC in Japan, a VOC lecturer, and into 2012, held several positions, including overseeing church centers and all foreign members throughout South Korea. She worked with Kook Jin and Hyung Jin in Korea during those years.
▲ Pictured: Senator Charles Percy with Takeshi Furuta and Fumiko Ikeda, and another member behind Percy
Fraser Report:
One anti-Communist activity ordered by Moon was a 7-day fast at the U.N. in October 1974. The expressed purpose of the fast was to defeat a U.N. resolution calling for the removal of U.N. troops from South Korea. A leader of the fast was a Japanese woman named Fumiko Ikeda. According to Pak Bo Hi, she was later the recipient of $3,000 in cash from the KCIA. Pak said he received the $3,000 in $100 bills at his home near Washington sometime in 1975 or 1976. The money was delivered along with a 6- or 7-page letter from Yang Doo Wan. Kim Sang Keun, the KCIA officer who delivered the money and letter, said he had received both through the diplomatic pouch, together with instructions to deliver them to Pak. Kim was not told by his superiors in the KCIA why Pak was receiving the letter and the money, and he did not read the letter.
Pak testified that he waited until his next trip to Korea to deliver the money to Ikeda. Ikeda was in Japan at the time, according to Pak, and traveled to Korea to pick up the money. Pak said the money was payment of "expenses" incurred by Ikeda on a speaking tour in Korea, where she had spoken at anti-Communist rallies sponsored by the Korean Government. Pak further testified that Yang Doo Won had attempted to give Ikeda the money, but she refused; Yang then turned to Pak, who persuaded Ikeda to take the money. Pak said he did not know whether Ikeda's expenses during her speaking tour were originally paid by the UC, or even what her job was at that time.
Pak's testimony about the Ikeda incident was marked by inexplicable lapses of memory and gaps in his knowledge. Pak first identified Ikeda as a Japanese UC member whom he had known for many years. Later, when Ikeda was quoted in the Japanese press as having denied being a UC member (a denial she later recanted), Pak testified that he really didn't know whether she was a UC member or not, but assumed she was because her husband was a member. Between Pak's first mention of the payment to Ikeda during his testimony before the subcommittee on March 22, 1978, and his next appearance on April 11, 1978, Ikeda traveled from Tokyo to New York where she met with Pak before returning to Tokyo. Questioned about that meeting, Pak could not recall when or where the meeting took place and did not know why Ikeda made the trip to New York or how her expenses were paid.
Even if Pak's testimony is accepted on its face, it constitutes an admission that KCIA money was used to reimburse a UC member for services on behalf of the Korean Government and, further, that Pak helped the KCIA persuade the woman to take the money. This incident, together with others such as the planned anti-Japanese demonstration in 1974, lent additional support to executive branch reports that the Moon Organization had been used by the KCIA and other ROK agencies to carry out Korean Government policies and had been rewarded by the Government for these efforts.
Pak Bo Hi's testimony before the subcommittee brought to a head the intense propaganda campaign being conducted by the Moon Organization against the subcommittee and its chairman. This campaign illustrated again the cohesiveness of the Moon Organization, as the economic, political, and other components were mobilized to work toward a single goal. Moon businesses provided Japanese TV crews to tape subcommittee hearings, later edited for use on Korean television and in "documentaries" shown to UC members. Brochures glorifying Pak Bo Hi were prepared by Moon printers and distributed to UC members, who were also mobilized to attend the hearings and to campaign against the subcommittee chairman in a Senate primary race. Moon newspapers such as News World and The Rising Tide propagandized against the subcommittee and cast Pak Bo Hi in a martyr's role. The Capitol Hill PR team and other UC members at times spread rumors that the subcommittee chairman and staff members were Communist agents or sympathizers.
There was reason to believe that parts of the campaign were coordinated with the Korean Government, which had embarked upon a similar - though apparently less intense - public relations effort of its own. As early as May 1977, Clyde Wallace told subcommittee staff that he had been approached by UC members to work on a story linking the subcommittee chairman to Communism. Wallace had previously provided information to the staff about Moon Organization investment in the DNB. Wallace - who has several criminal convictions - claimed to be a journalist, though it was uncertain when he entered that field. As of 1977, he ran a business called The Spy Shop, which sold electronic listening devices.
In September 1977, Wallace did write an article - using the name Walter Riley - in which he accused the subcommittee chairman of being a Russian agent and of adhering to the Communist line. As far as could be determined, no newspaper carried this article until late November 1977, when it appeared in News World. Wallace denied he was paid by the Moon Organization or that he cooperated with it in his numerous attacks on the subcommittee, its chairman, and the investigation. He told a staff member that his article appeared in News World only after two Korean Government officials, whom he did not name, visited his office and noticed the unpublished article. The two Koreans took a copy of the article when they left, and shortly thereafter it appeared in News World, according to Wallace. On December 11, 1977, the day after subcommittee staff members arrived in Korea on a well-publicized investigative mission, the article was summarized on the front page of the Korea Herald, a Korean Government publication.
Thus even in 1977 and 1978, when both the Korean Government and the Moon Organization were disavowing ties with one another, there was reason to believe that relations between them were still being carried on, though less openly. As discussed earlier, the Tong Il officers who came to the United States in December 1977 to discuss exporting M-16's told Colt representatives that, although the Korean Government was aware of Tong Il's discussions with Colt, the Government would deny such knowledge if questioned. The relationship between the Moon Organization and the ROK government is a dynamic one, changing over time. The Organization's close relationship with Kim Jong Pil and the positions held by Steve Kim and Bud Han in the Korean Government provided continuous access to influential officials, access Moon saw as necessary to attain his goals. Favors were granted the Moon Organization by the Korean Government, and, in return, assistance was provided ROK officials for the furtherance of government policies or for the personal benefit of the individuals involved.

Activist urges Japan’s apology - on Yasue Erikawa’s activism around comfort women, demanding a formal apology to be made from Japan’s government. This article makes no mention of her membership in the Unification Church:
“It is essential for Japan to face history in an upright manner and make a formal apology to Koreans, especially regarding the sexual enslavement,” said Yasue Erikawa, 66, president of the Group that Promotes Friendship by Overcoming the History between Korea and Japan, in an interview with The Korea Times, “This will serve as a starting point in mending ever-deteriorating Korea-Japan ties.”
Referring to past occasions in which former Japanese leaders offered apologies for wartime atrocities against Koreans including those made by former Japanese Prime Ministers Tomiichi Murayama in 1995 and Naoto Kan in 2010, the activist argued that these cannot be accepted as full and sincere.
“(The past apologies) do not count because no Koreans regard them as sincere,” said Erikawa. “Together with a renewed formal apology, Japanese government should also launch an investigation into its drafting of Korean women for sexual slavery and open up the truth to the entire world.”
The group president first came to Korea in 1970 when she married a Korean.
Living in Korea since then, she said she found out about the truth behind the past deeds done by the military of her homeland.

Yasue Erikawa: An Often Unrecognized Asset
The Unification Church had become a liaison between imperialist powers (USA, Japan), crime syndicates with similar political goals (Korean mob, yakuza, drug traffickers, etc.), and right-wing dictatorships (Marcos, Chun, Pinochet, etc.), and their intelligence agencies, since near its inception. Many of its top leaders are implicated in conscious participation in these clandestine and often illegal activities. Yasue Erikawa is no exception. Erikawa-san’s leadership in the Sanctuary Movement should not be understated, and is further proof of their embedding with both Japanese and US intelligence. Erikawa is said to have been one of the key liaison between the Japanese Moonies and Japanese intelligence/government. Others had played similar roles to some degree, such as Sang Ik Choi (Papasan Choi, Masaru Nishikawa), Osami Kuboki, Yeon-Soo Lim (Onni Durst), Takeru Kamiyama, etc.
Fumiko Ikeda (池田文子) is otherwise known as Yasue Erikawa (江利川安栄), has been called a feminist activist, as she led UC campaigns of Japanese women repenting on behalf of imperialist Japan’s crimes against Korean women. These actions heightened a few years prior to her departure from the FFWPU and entrance into Hyung Jin’s Sanctuary Church movement.
Born in 1946, a graduate of the law department of Chuo University, she became a member of the Unification Church in Japan, and in 1970 she married in the 777 blessing ceremony. Erikawa was active in the International Federation for Victory Over Communism (国際勝共連合 Kokusai Shōkyō Rengō), founded by Reverend Sun Myung Moon in 1968 in the Republic of Korea, often in the orbit of Kodama, Kishi, and Sasakawa. According to Bo Hi Pak during the Frasier Committee hearings, KCIA official Yang Doo Won sent him $3,000 in Washington with a request that he pay the full amount to Erikawa in consideration of travel and other expenses she incurred while speaking at some rallies in South Korea in 1975. She was known for her fiery speaking.
Among the IFVOC’s objectives in Japan was the nullification of the permission the Japanese government had given DPRK-sponsored schools to operate in Japan. Though she has “repented” on behalf of Japan to Korea, her political activities have at times stoked anti-Korean sentiment, veiled as anti-communism.
Erikawa served as the 7th director of the Unification Church in Japan for ten months from 1998 to 1999. She is currently the leader of the Sanctuary Church in Japan.

Neil Salonen and the KCIA! - The Great Deception!

New Hope News
November 11, 1974
700 Members From across the U.S. Gather at UN for 7-Day Fast (Oct. 21 - Oct. 27)Pages 4-6
The purpose of the fast was to publicize the plight of Japanese citizens who are trapped in North Korea, wives of Koreans induced to repatriate to North Korea after the Korean War...The Association for Human Rights of Japanese Wives of North Korean Repatriates was...under the guidance of Mrs. Fumiko Ikeda.
Mrs. Ikeda and relatives of Japanese wives in North Korea spoke at Monday's opening ceremony as did President Neil Salonen, Dan Fefferman and Walter Gottesman,representing the Unification Church, (and) the Freedom Leadership Foundation, and the American Committee for Human Rights of Japanese Wives of North Korean Repatriates.

December 23, 1974New York Continues UN ActivitiesPage 58
On November 19 the American Committee for the Human Rights of Japanese Wives of North Korean Repatriates held a dinner in New York, attended by Mr. Salonen asPresident of the Freedom Leadership Foundation. Present at the dinner were a number of UN ambassadors or their representatives who had signed the Committee's petition.
As the question of maintaining UN troops in the Korean DMZ neared debate in the General Assembly, New York Freedom Leadership Foundation had widely distributed several flyers about the realities of life in North Korea...According to Mark Barry, the flyer was to appear as a full-page ad in the December 3rd edition of the Delegate'sWorld Bulletin, a newspaper widely read in the UN.
Friendly contact with many UN ambassadors is being maintained by about thirty members coming from, among other countries, Liberia, Guyana, Panama, and the Philippinesunder the direction of Kyoshii Nishi. The ambassadors have been responding very well, even visiting Belvedere on some weekends.

The Moon people are back...They claim that the North Korean government refuses to allow thousands of Japanese women who married North Korean men and moved to thatcountry to return to Japan.
Although the leaders of the fast stress their only goal is "human rights," some members of the Korean and academic communities in this country have pointed out two facts which make timely an anti-North Korea demonstration by a group such as Moon's, which has the blessings of the South Korean government:
1) The UN will be considering, within the next month, whether to call for the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea...
2) President Ford will be visiting Japan and South Korea at the end of November...
The State Department...noted that the "Japanese wives" issue has been pushed in propaganda from a South Korean news service, which is suspected of being controlled by the government.
Although the Moon people and a spokesman for the South Korean Permanent Observer at the UN vigorously deny it, many Moon-watchers suggest there is a strong linkbetween Moon's various religious and political organizations and the Korean Central Intelligence Agency..."We're doing this solely for humanitarian reasons," said Joe A. Tully, the 28-year-old head of the New York Unification Church.

Investigation of Korean-American Relations (Moonies, aka Unification Church)October 31, 1978Other ties to the ROK GovernmentPages 31-32
In the 1976 KCIA Plan for Operations in the U.S., the FLF was mentioned in two places as an organization to be used to achieve KCIA objectives. In one section of the plan, it was to be used to counter activities of pro-North Korean organizations and individuals in the United States...The FLF is also mentioned in another section of the plan which dealt with operations in media circles.
The subcommittee investigation showed that the 1976 plan had been preceded by other plans for previous years and that many entries in it referred to operations already completed or reflected ongoing relationships with organizations and individuals. It also showed that Kim Yung Hwan, KCIA station chief from 1974 to 1976, was a key promoter of the 1976 plan. Testimony and UC documents showed that there was substantial contact between Kim Yung Hwan and FLF members.
One anti-Communist activity ordered by Moon was a 7-day fast at the U.N., in October 1974, the expressed purpose of which was to defeat a U.N. resolution calling for removal of U.N. troops from South Korea. A leader of the fast was a Japanese woman named Fumiko Ikeda. According to Pak Bo Hi, she was later the recipient of $3,000 in cash from the KCIA...This incident, together with others such as the planned anti-Japanese demonstration in 1974, lent additional support to executive branch reports that the Moon Organization had been used by the KCIA and other ROK agencies to carry out Korean Government policies and had been rewarded by the Government for these efforts.
