Let’s not lose the masters of welfare.
Let’s strengthen our commitment to welfare culture
-While Considering Diversity and Equality
Mizue Tsukita

When changing, the philosophy of protecting the upbringing and rights of children must not be neglected. The nation’s plan for the next 100 years is based on education.
The plan for the nation’s 100th anniversary is based on education. When I served as a member of the Reconstruction Committee for the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, I was concerned that the major direction of the committee would be to create a new type of education system.
When he served as a member of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Reconstruction Committee, the main policy was to give priority to the construction of a box structure such as a reconstruction memorial hall. However, he was aware of where the elderly and people with disabilities were living.
However, he also pointed out that there were areas where relief was possible because volunteers knew where the elderly and disabled people lived and rushed to their aid immediately, and areas where they could not.
The number of people who died in the areas where the volunteers were able to save the elderly and the disabled differed greatly from those in the areas where they were not able to do so.
It is important to know each other’s living conditions on a daily basis. It is important to know who is living alone, where they are, and what they are doing.
and what kind of activities they are engaged in, it will be possible to rescue them during the initial volunteer activities.
If you know where they live alone and how they behave, you can rescue them during the initial volunteer activities. For this purpose, it is important to include in the report a proposal to create a gathering place (even a shack) for the elderly and others in each elementary school district.
We put our heart and soul into the report to include opinions on the creation of a gathering place (even if it is a shack) for elderly people in an elementary school district. In addition, we expressed many other opinions from the welfare point of view, but the Ichiban-gase opinion was the most important.
However, it was difficult to include one line of the Ichiban-gase opinion in the report. Nevertheless, we kept the viewpoint of protecting people’s lives and livelihoods.
I was very much impressed with his perspectives on social welfare.
Social welfare has become a widely accepted term due to the efforts of Dr. Ichigase and his predecessors as well as the demands of the times.
However, the declining birthrate and aging population, the However, the declining birthrate, aging population, regional decline due to depopulation, expansion of informal employment even among young people, and weakening of the safety net have all contributed to the decline of social welfare.
The decline of local communities due to the declining birthrate, aging population, and depopulation; the weakening of safety nets; delays in the creation of new local relationships; delays in the creation of local governments that can act proactively and creatively; and the decline of the local economy.
The problems are piling up, including a weak safety net, the expansion of part-time employment among the younger generation, delays in the creation of new community relations, and inadequate measures to prevent suicide, abuse and bullying. The lack of financial resources is the reason
The government is unable to halt the reduction of welfare funds due to the lack of financial resources. In today’s Japan, the emphasis on “self-responsibility” has a frightening tendency to convince people that they are responsible for their own actions.
There is a frightening tendency in Japan today for people to be convinced by the emphasis on “self-responsibility. The concept of “kizuna” (bonds) and “solidarity” dominate people’s thinking more strongly than “kizuna” (bonds) and “solidarity” (solidarity).
In this context, the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami exposed these problems in daily life. The lack of power in the welfare sector
The lack of power in the welfare sector also became apparent.
Amartya Sen wrote, “Human beings are totally diverse beings. （Human beings are totally diverse in age, sex, resistance to disease, physical and mental health, and so on.
(omission) in personal characteristics such as age, gender, resistance to disease, physical and mental abilities, etc.” (p. 3). When evaluating equality
When we evaluate equality, we have to take into account this diversity that is inherent in human beings. The powerful rhetoric of “human equality” is based on this diversity.
The powerful rhetoric of “human equality” tends to divert attention from such diversity. Such rhetoric (e.g., “We are born different.
Such rhetoric (e.g., “people are born equal”) is seen as an important element of egalitarianism.
However, ignoring differences among individuals is actually very anti-egalitarian, and equal consideration for all people will lead to inequality.
Ignoring differences between individuals is actually very anti-egalitarian, and masks the fact that equal consideration for all may require “unequal treatment” in favor of the disadvantaged.
It masks the fact that equal consideration for all may require “unequal treatment” in favor of the disadvantaged. （Often, human diversity is not seen from the “noble” perspective of “human equality.
(Omitted.) Often human diversity has been ignored, not from the ‘noble’ perspective of ‘human equality,’ but from the practical ‘low’ perspective of the need for simplification.
2).
This is similar to social welfare. In the name of equality, individual preferences and abilities are ignored.
The same or lower standard is applied in the name of equality. In the name of self-responsibility, needs are devalued.
When we ask ourselves how to treat the diversity of humanity equally, we must recognize the diversity and heterogeneity of values while striving for solidarity.
The “culture of welfare” is to aim for unity while recognizing the diversity and heterogeneity of human values. We want to break through the easy theory of self-responsibility. Now that we have lost the great masters
I feel that it is important to continue to promote diversity, equality, and a culture of welfare.

The most upsetting support was “the support that was the most upsetting.
The most frustrating support was from social workers dispatched from other prefectures.
“I wonder if the most upsetting support came from social workers dispatched from other prefectures,” said one survivor.
“The support I wanted the most was from the social workers who were sent from other prefectures. What I wanted to ask for the most was for the social workers who were sent from other prefectures.
The most important thing we wanted to ask them to do was to remove debris and mud from the homes of the day-care center users.
However, since they were social workers who specialize in this field, they were not able to help us.
social workers, we were told that we were not allowed to remove debris.
We were told that we could not remove debris because we are professional social workers. I thought, ‘I can’t do that right now.
I thought, ‘That’s not the priority right now.
I was very angry. (Sugita, 2012)
I was angry because my child still cannot go to the bathroom by himself.
I was so angry because I thought, ‘That’s all he wants to do now'” (Sugita, 2012).

The local people’s desire to maintain the local culture and use it to revitalize and revitalize the affected areas
The local people’s desire to maintain the local culture and to contribute to the regeneration and revitalization of the affected areas was at odds with the government. For example
For example, at a junior high school where none of the teachers were from the local area, the school was not able to use the junior high school building.
For example, a junior high school with no teachers from the local community wanted to use the school building to develop volunteer activities.

The author learned of an elderly woman I met in Nohiru, Higashimatsushima City, Miyagi Prefecture, in March 2012.

It was not a mere rebirth or resurrection, but a “gap in the heart” for each person to be filled.
I felt that I had to “rebuild the foundation of life” and “have hope” that would fill the “gap” in each person’s “heart.
It was then that I realized that there was no meaning unless we could fill in the “gaps” in each person’s “heart.
We have realized that there is no meaning unless we can fill in the “gaps in the heart” of each individual.
In addition, although it has been a modest effort, we have been able to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
In addition, we have been able to make a modest contribution to the affected areas in our hometown of Miyagi Prefecture, including the Wakabayashi district of Sendai City, the Kesennuma district, and the Higashimatsushima district.
I have visited the Wakabayashi, Kesennuma, Higashi-Matsushima, and Nobiru districts of Sendai City, my hometown in Miyagi Prefecture.
In September 2011, the Japan Welfare and Culture Association (JWCA) held a meeting with the Japanese government.
I have been involved in some small way in the Sendai City area.
In September 2011, I visited the Wakabayashi district (or the surrounding area) of Sendai City, which was affected by the disaster.

The chief in charge was at a loss as to how to collect information and formulate a welfare plan for persons with disabilities/welfare plan based on the concept. It was at this time that the author was approached.
At that time, I was approached by the author. I had been involved in the formulation of welfare plans for persons with disabilities and disability welfare plans several times.
I had been involved in the formulation of welfare plans for persons with disabilities and disability welfare plans several times.
I gladly decided to take on the project. I was happy to take on the task.
I had to create a plan (draft) from almost nothing.
The local people were, of course, very supportive of the project. Of course, it was necessary to exchange opinions with the local people.
Of course, we will need to exchange opinions with the local people. The time frame for submitting the plan (end of March) is limited.
（The time frame for submission (end of March) is limited, and we are facing a critical moment.
We are facing a critical time. We must somehow come up with a plan (draft) that will meet the needs of the local people.

We are hoping to come up with a plan that will be responsive to the local people.
After all this writing, we have been considering “rebuilding the foundations of life” and have come to the conclusion that it is time for a new plan.
In order to consider “rebuilding the infrastructure of daily life,” we need to consider the following.
In order to consider “rebuilding the foundations of life,” it is necessary to organize the basic concept, that is, “what is rebuilding the foundation of life?
In other words, it is necessary to organize the basic idea of “what is the reconstruction of the infrastructure of life.
In order to consider “restructuring the infrastructure of daily life,” we realized that it was necessary to organize the basic concept, i.e., “what is restructuring the infrastructure of daily life? Therefore, we have decided to take the following approach.
The author has proposed the following “creative welfare” as a way of organizing “what is the reconstruction of the infrastructure of daily life”.
The author’s concept of “Creative Welfare Culture “1) is the basis for the restructuring of the foundations of life, and will be used in the next section.
The next section will discuss this concept.

4. “Creative Welfare Culture” and “Rebuilding the Foundations of Life
Rebuilding the Foundations of Life
The author defines “welfare culture” as “a culture in which the individual is valued and each person’s dreams and hopes are respected.
The author defines “welfare culture” as “a culture where the individual is valued, where each person’s dreams and hopes are spun, and where creativity is abundant.
The author defines “welfare culture” as “a practical and humane happiness creation that is continued in the community, rich in creativity and
The “welfare culture” is a “practical and humanistic happiness creation that is continued in the community, where the individual is valued and each person’s dreams and hopes are woven together, rich in creativity.
In order to give a more positive meaning to “welfare culture,” we have proposed the concept of “creative welfare culture.
In order to give positive meaning to “welfare culture,” the concept of “creative welfare culture” was proposed.
Both the definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” are based on the “welfare culture” of the affected areas.
This definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” must be applied to “rebuilding the foundations of life” in the affected areas.
The concept of “creative welfare culture” was proposed in order to give positive meaning to “welfare culture.
First, we need to consider the above-mentioned “welfare culture” and “creative welfare culture. Therefore, first of all, the above-mentioned definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” must be applied to “rebuilding the infrastructure of life” in the affected areas.
First, how can the definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” be used to “rebuild the foundations of life”?
We will start by considering how the above definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” can be used to “rebuild the foundation of life.
First, let us consider how the definition of “welfare culture” and the concept of “creative welfare culture” can be used to “rebuild the foundations of life.

Through these activities, the survivors will be motivated to live and their quality of life will be improved.
The quality of life must be improved, and the survivors must be able to feel joy and happiness and a sense of satisfaction through activities aimed at “rebuilding the foundations of life.
They need to be able to feel joy and happiness and gain a sense of satisfaction through activities aimed at “rebuilding the foundations of life.
It is necessary to help them feel joy, happiness, and satisfaction through activities aimed at “reconstruction. Therefore, here, we will discuss how to organize the conditions for “rebuilding the foundation of life.

and people affected by the disaster can lead creative lives in their own way (see Fig. 2).
(See Figure 2). However, “qualitative restructuring of the infrastructure of life” is not enough.
However, the “improvement of living infrastructure” does not necessarily mean that the affected area or the affected people will be able to live a creative life in their own way (see Fig. 2).
However, the “improvement of living infrastructure” does not mean that “qualitative reconstruction of living infrastructure” has been achieved in the affected areas or for the affected people as they are.
However, the “improvement of living infrastructure” does not mean that the affected areas and affected people have achieved “qualitative reconstruction of living infrastructure” in their own way. No matter how much “improvement of the infrastructure of life” is achieved, it is not enough.
However much the “infrastructure for livelihood” has been “rebuilt,” it cannot be said that it has been “functionally reconstructed.
However, if people cannot use it “functionally,” it cannot be said that they have achieved “qualitative restructuring of the foundations of life.
If it is not used “functionally,” it cannot be said that “qualitative restructuring of the infrastructure of daily life” has been achieved.
For example, the original residence For example, even if they are able to return to their original homes, they will not be able to use them for other purposes.
For example, even if they are able to return to their original homes, they cannot be said to have “rebuilt the quality of their lives.

Therefore, it is necessary not only to “improve the infrastructure of life” but also to provide “functionality” so that people can use resources in various environments.
（If we can supplement “functionality” (such as the ability to use environmental resources), we will be able to create a new type of community.
If the “functionality” can be supplemented, the “environment” (which is the basis of life) can be improved.
If we can supplement “functionality” (such as the ability to use environmental resources), we will have more opportunities to use the “environment” (which is the foundation of life).
If we can supplement “functionality” (such as the ability to take advantage of the environment), we will have more opportunities to take advantage of the environment and move toward “qualitative reconstruction of the infrastructure of life.

This means that the people who lost their homes and families in the tsunami and who had to move from one town or village to another with a different culture due to radioactive contamination from the nuclear power plant must be respected.
This is especially important for those who lost their homes and families in the tsunami and had to relocate to other areas with different cultures, including entire towns and villages, due to radioactive contamination from the nuclear plant.
This is especially important for those who lost their homes and families in the tsunami and had to move to other areas with different cultures, such as towns and villages, due to the radioactive contamination from the nuclear power plant.

It seems to be possible to “rebuild the foundation of life” and improve the quality of life.
The “social reactions” are organically arranged, combined, and fused together. In order to fulfill these conditions, it is necessary to “rebuild the infrastructure of life.
The “rebuilding of the foundations of life” is a process of development and implementation that can fulfill these conditions.
In order to meet these conditions, efforts and measures to “rebuild the infrastructure of daily life” will be developed, and the affected areas will be able to receive the support they need as soon as possible.
In the future, we hope that a “creative welfare and cultural society” will arrive for both the affected areas and the people affected by the disaster.
I sincerely hope that the “creative welfare and cultural society” will be realized in the affected areas and among the affected people as soon as possible.

The World Bank and other foreign institutions, as well as public and private research organizations in Japan, have made numerous estimates of the damage2) . The amount of damage can be roughly divided into 16-18 trillion yen.

The highest amount is 25 trillion yen.

The reality of the damage caused by nuclear power plants has not yet been clarified

　The first of what we have learned from these estimates
The first is the damage caused by the collapse of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The first thing we learned from these estimates is that the amount of damage caused by the collapse of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
The first thing I found in these estimates is that the amount of damage caused by the collapse of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is commonly excluded. Although my
search is inadequate, but I believe that the amount of damage from the nuclear power plant has not been announced
and the survey has not yet progressed.
I am not sure if the survey is still underway.
　In November 2012, when TEPCO announced its management policy for the 2013-14 fiscal year
In November 2012, TEPCO announced its management policy for fiscal 2013-14, stating that “decontamination and decommissioning will be in full swing

5 trillion yen from the Nuclear Damage Liability Facilitation Fund and 1 trillion yen from the government’s public funds.
1 trillion yen from the Nuclear Damage Liability Assistance
TEPCO has withdrawn ¥5 trillion from the Nuclear Damage Liability Assistance
TEPCO has also raised electricity prices by an average of 8.46% to cover the cost of nuclear accident countermeasures and compensation.
In addition, the government has said that it will raise
In addition to the 5 trillion yen
The compensation estimate is based on the current situation. Compensation estimates were initially
The initial estimate for compensation was ¥5 trillion, but the amount to be paid is now estimated to be
5 trillion yen, but as of November, the amount of compensation is 1.4 trillion yen, or 28% of the total.
The victims have criticized the government for its reluctance to provide compensation.

　According to the Yomiuri Shimbun (June 1, 2011), on May 31, 2011, Ibaraki Gov.
Hashimoto, the governor of Ibaraki Prefecture, told reporters that the compensation for damages caused by the nuclear power plant accident “has no causal relationship.

is the core of the 3.11 damage. The amount of damage caused by the nuclear power plant accident must be clarified.
Without clarifying the amount of damage caused by the nuclear power plant accident, the reality of the Great East Japan
The reality of the Great East Japan Earthquake will be virtually sealed unless the amount of damage caused by the nuclear accident is revealed.
　According to the Asahi Shimbun dated November 10, 2012, “Noda’s
On November 9, 2012, TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was closed down.

The results will be compiled in the fall of 2013.
The results will be compiled in the fall of 2013. Decontamination, compensation, reconstruction, etc. will not progress without a survey of the actual situation.
The minister of reconstruction, Tatsuo Hirano, is planning to compile the results of the survey in the fall of 2013.
Tatsuo Hirano, Minister of Reconstruction and Revitalization, said at the first meeting of the Nuclear Disaster Reconstruction Promotion Team

but a full-scale investigation has not yet been started.
The actual damage caused by the March 11 disaster to the residents of the area is still unknown.

No survey has been conducted on the actual damage caused to residents on March 11, 2011.

　The first thing I learned from reading an example of damage estimation
The second thing I learned from reading the damage estimates was that the estimates were made by industry and the government.
Secondly, many of the estimates are based on the viewpoints of industries and businesses, and the damage estimates from the residents’ viewpoints are extremely small.
and there are very few estimates of the damage from the residents’ viewpoint.
It is needless to say, the damage from the viewpoints of the business community and companies is not very large. Needless to say, the viewpoints of the business community and companies are indispensable.
It goes without saying that the viewpoints of the business community and the corporate sector are essential.
However, the lack of interest in the daily lives of the residents is
It is strange that there is so little interest in the lives of local residents. Why is this?
I wonder why surveys of individuals (residents) are so abstract and few.
I was curious as to why the surveys of individuals (residents) were so abstract and few in number. It may be that it is difficult to
It may be difficult to conduct surveys, but it is not impossible to do so.
However, it is not impossible to do so. For example, Fukushima University is conducting a survey of the
Fukushima University, for example, is conducting a survey of the areas affected by the nuclear power plant disaster.
For example, Fukushima University is conducting a survey of the areas affected by the nuclear power plant disaster.
It is possible to conduct a similar survey in the three prefectures affected by the disaster. Why not?
Why not?
　Is it because of the principle of disaster compensation that residents (individuals) are not compensated for their assets?
Is it because of the principle of disaster compensation? However, this does not mean that a survey of the actual damage is unnecessary.
However, this does not mean that a survey of the damage is unnecessary.
I wonder if this does not mean that a survey of the actual damage is also unnecessary. It is not as if there is no need for a survey of the actual damage.
However, as a senior official of the Ministry of Finance insists, “If we accept all of the
If we accept all of them as compensation… (no matter how much there is)
(how much) is not enough” as the Ministry of Finance officials claim? Certainly.
There is no need for compensation if the actual damage is not seen.
If the actual damage is not made public, neither TEPCO nor the government will have to bear much of the burden.
If the actual damage is not made public, neither TEPCO nor the government will have to bear much of the burden.
　My overall impression of the trend in damage estimates is that the damage to the business community and top companies is not as severe as the damage to the public character.
The overall impression of the trend in damage estimates is that the damage to the business community and top companies is public and therefore should be covered.

The tax will be increased by ¥1,000 per year for 10 years starting in FY14.

The same will apply to interest income and business income.

　For corporations, the special reconstruction corporation tax will be increased by 10% of the corporate tax amount from April 2012.

In this case, the tax will be increased by 10% of the corporate tax amount

This is an instantaneous tax increase for 3 years, not 25 years.
In this case, the increase will be for 3 years instead of 25 years.

However, the effective corporate tax rate will be However, the effective corporate tax rate will

After 4 years, the 5% tax cut will be in effect.
In terms of revenue and expenditures over 25 years, large corporations will see a tax cut of more than 17 trillion yen.

In terms of revenue and expenditures over the next 25 years, large corporations will see a tax cut of more than 17 trillion yen.

In terms of revenue and expenditures over 25 years, large corporations will see a tax cut of over 17 trillion yen. Overall, the final balance of the reconstruction budget

The final balance of the reconstruction budget as a whole is “tax hikes for working people and tax cuts of ¥17 trillion for corporations.

The next step is how the reconstruction budget will be used.

　Next, let us look at the use of the reconstruction budget. Next, let us look at the use of the reconstruction budget.
The budget is executed in accordance with the Reconstruction Basic Law, but “misappropriation” of funds was pointed out in the Diet.

This is the result of swallowing the demands of the autocrats in order to pass the Basic Reconstruction Law.
The “misappropriation” of funds has been the subject of intense criticism.

However, it is reported that most of the money has been used and cannot be recovered.
The report says that most of the money is irrecoverable. The report says that most of the money has been spent and is unrecoverable.

This is extremely small. For the ministries and top companies
The subsidy was a massive 300 billion yen in a short period of time for the ministries and top companies.
For ministries and top companies, the subsidies were “user-friendly” because of the large budget of 300 billion yen executed in a short time.

The companies were not aware that it was illegal and that it would be illegal for them to use the money. The companies claimed that the subsidies were not illegal and that they would return the money.
No company has announced that they will return the subsidies, saying that they are not illegal, and that they will “get what they can get

Since 3.11, the number of people using public assistance has been very small.

In July 2011, one year later, the number of welfare recipients reached 2.05 million.
Of these, 939 were victims of the 3.11 disaster, and in August, the number was 2.05 million.
In August, there were still less than 2,000.
There has been no rapid increase in the number of victims of the disaster.
The reason why victims do not receive the benefits is due to their surrounding eyes. The reasons for not receiving benefits are as follows.

These are the top three factors. What we can see here is that
The top three factors are (1) loss of income due to injury or illness, (2) loss of income due to work
(1) Injuries and illnesses cause a loss of income and instability in employment relationships.
(2) The society is in a state where medical coverage, compensation for lost work time, and unemployment benefits are inadequate.

-(2) The social situation is unstable because of the loss of income when an injury or illness occurs.

The current situation is that medical security, compensation for lost work time, and unemployment benefits do not function adequately, leading to receipt of welfare benefits due to classic causes of poverty.

(Kato 2002. 6):

Kato’s desires and demands at the time were so difficult that even his closest friends could not easily understand them.
In other words, it was extremely difficult for even his close friends to understand his desires and needs. In other words, it was so difficult to understand Kato’s wishes and demands at that time.
In other words, it can be said that in the 1950s, understanding and concern for mentally handicapped children was at a low ebb.
In other words, that is how little understanding and care was given to mentally handicapped children in the 1950s. However

However, this is not the case. Even if the understanding of family members and close acquaintances can be obtained, it is not always possible to obtain the understanding of the general public.
Even if we could gain the understanding of family members and close acquaintances, how would we explain this to the general public?
The question is how to explain this to the general public, welfare workers and local residents.
How will we respond to the ever-changing realities of Japanese society in the future?
How will they respond to the ever-changing realities of Japanese society in the future?

It is not so easy to answer these questions. Therefore, the development of Parents’ Association activities
Therefore, in the development of Parents’ Association activities, we need to think about how we, as a group of people concerned, can respond to the current situation

Therefore, the challenge for the development of parents’ associations is how to make them recognize
The challenge is how to make people aware of their own affairs as a group of people with disabilities. This is one of the reasons for the existence of parent associations for mentally disabled children.
The significance of the existence of parents’ associations for children with intellectual disabilities emerges here.

(See Table 1). The article is also important in that it describes Kato and his collaborator Suwa as “unyielding, unyielding, and unyielding.
“Let us be their spokespersons, unyielding and undaunted, and advance headlong toward their goals.
Let us not be daunted by anything, but let us be their voice, and let us go straight ahead toward our goal.

Kato’s role as a spokesperson for mentally disabled children was clearly stated in the article.
Kato, who clearly stated his role as a spokesperson for children with mental disabilities, said, “It is both frustrating and shameful.
Suwa’s candid description of the difficulties of understanding children
and Suwa’s frank description of the difficulties of understanding children as “angry and pitiful,” can be thought of as an invitation to unity and action.
Suwa’s frankly expressed difficulties in understanding children, “I feel angry and ashamed,” he said. Next, the spread of the “Kodo” by the newspaper media was one of the first to be publicized.

I started this movement for the care of children with mental deficiencies because I could not remain silent about the unfortunate situation of these children, but I was always away from home.
However, since I go out every day, my house is always empty, and the children are always without a mother to greet them when they come home from school.
The children were so lonely without a mother to greet them when they came home from school that they began to go outside and play without a moment’s thought.
They even forgot to do their homework and rushed to write it before going to school in the morning.
When I came home late at night, I was so exhausted that I didn’t have the strength to change my clothes, and sometimes I would lie on the floor without eating.
I would come home late at night, too tired to change my clothes, and would often lie on the floor without even eating a meal. My husband was burdened with the work of a natural family.

I held on to my feelings of despair. I suddenly felt as if the tragedies of the world were also happening at that time.
I have felt a chill down my spine, wondering if this is the time for tragedies in the world to take place.

For example, service businesses that have been localized have become peripheral due to mergers.
The service to the remote areas (marginalized communities) that have become peripheral due to the merger is reduced, cut back, or reduced in cost.
For example, there have been cases in which municipalized service providers have scaled back, reduced, or withdrawn services to remote areas (marginalized communities) that have become peripheral due to mergers.

If residents in the surveyed areas use this program, it could be considered a reason for the high cab use rate.
If residents in the surveyed areas use this service, it could be a factor for the high taxi use.
However, this could not be confirmed in this survey.
　The “Factors of concern in daily life (multiple responses)” was also a concern, reflecting the aging of the population.
The “health of myself and my family” was selected by 64.9% of the respondents, reflecting the aging of the population.

Health of oneself and one’s family” (64.9%) and “Nursing care” (52.6%) were the most common concerns.
This is consistent with the results of the interviews with the respondents concerned.
This result is consistent with the results of the interviews with the respondents concerned. On the other hand, 15.8% of the respondents answered “no concerns.

The most common answer was “I don’t use” at 54.9%.
The most common answer was “I do not use” at 54.9%. This is explained by the fact that
From the interviews with the respondents involved, it is clear that at the time of the survey, the
The target area was relatively healthy at the time of the survey, and the need for nursing care was low.
and that many of them can manage to lead an independent life for the time being.
The majority of the respondents were in relatively good health at the time of the survey and were able to live independently for the time being. On the other hand, there were some respondents who said, “When I need nursing care services, I will leave my house.
On the other hand, some residents said that they would abandon their homes and relocate if they needed nursing care services.
On the other hand, there are some residents who say that they will abandon their homes and move to the new area when they need nursing care services.
On the other hand, there are some residents who say that they will abandon their homes and move to the area when they need nursing care services. This is because they will continue to live in their familiar villages as long as they are able to live on their own.
However, if they are physically or mentally unable to live alone, they may move to a new village.
However, if it becomes physically or mentally difficult for them to live alone, they can leave their children or facilities and move to another village.
However, when it becomes physically or mentally difficult for them to live alone, they leave the village, relying on their children or other facilities.
This also means leaving the village.

　In this regard, it can be said that the population decline associated with secondary depopulation is inevitable.
In this regard, it can be said that a population decrease due to secondary depopulation is inevitable.
In the above, it can be said that most welfare and nursing care facilities are located in the central city area of a mountainous municipality like Miyoshi City.
Unless transportation access is improved, the elderly and people with disabilities in marginalized communities such as Miyoshi City
Unless transportation access is improved, it is difficult for the elderly and the disabled to visit welfare and long-term care facilities on a daily basis.
It suggests that it is difficult for the elderly and the disabled to go to welfare and long-term care facilities on a daily basis
The study site is located in the center of the city, and most of the nursing homes are located in the city center. At the same time, recent welfare and long-term care facilities
At the same time, recent welfare and long-term care services operated on a market basis
At the same time, recent market-based welfare and long-term care services dispatch staff to remote villages, where travel is time-consuming and costly.
At the same time, recent welfare and long-term care services operated on a market basis have been dispatching staff to villages that are scattered
At the same time, there are concerns that recent welfare and long-term care service businesses operated on a market basis
This is a dilemma that is not expected to make it easy to develop the business.
It is not difficult to foresee this dilemma.
In this respect, under the policy of marketization of welfare and nursing care

and “Enable people to continue to live at home even if they are elderly or disabled” were both selected by 45.6% of the respondents.
The most common response, at 45.6%, was “to enable residents to continue living at home even if they are elderly or disabled.

Welfare support required in marginalized communities” was selected by 42.6% of the respondents.

The most common responses were “mutual help among residents” at 42.1%, followed by “watching over people and making sure they are safe” at 36.8%.
and “checking on the safety of the residents” at 36.8%. In other words, residents are not able to receive the medical, welfare, and nursing care services that they need.
In other words, for residents, the demand for medical, welfare, and long-term care services is as important as the demand for community services.
This means that as with the demand for medical, welfare, and long-term care services, residents have high expectations of their local community.
This point overlaps with the results of the interviews
This overlaps with the results of the interviews with the residents concerned.
　Next, the results of the responses regarding the local community and the desire to settle in the area are shown in Table 5 and Figure 3.

Weakened” and “Weakened” were the combined negative responses.
The percentage of negative opinions was 40.4%, while the total of “stronger” and “a little stronger” was 5.5%.
The percentage of negative opinions was significantly higher than the 5.2% of positive opinions, which consisted of “stronger” and “a little stronger. Similarly, “Comparison of pre-merger
Comparison of pre-merger and current community activities” also showed a significant increase in the negative response, with 40.4% of the respondents saying that “either
The percentage of respondents who answered “less” or “less” was 54.3%.
The total of 54.3% of the respondents who responded “somewhat less active” and “less active” was significantly higher than the total of “more active” and “somewhat active.

The total of “More or less active” and “More or less active” was 54.3%, which was much higher than the 1.8% total for “More active” and “More or less active.
The total of “active” and “somewhat active” was much higher than the total of “active” and “somewhat active,” which was 1.8%.
This indicates that residents feel that the Heisei merger has weakened the relationship and activities of villages and communities.
This indicates that residents feel that the Heisei merger has weakened the relationship and activities of villages and communities.
This is a significant increase over the 1.8% of the total of “active” in the previous survey. In this regard, interviews with the people concerned also revealed that the
In the interviews with the people involved in the mergers, it is clear that the mergers have resulted in the consolidation and elimination of old villages.
In this regard, interviews with the people concerned also revealed that as the merged municipalities become more widely administered and the consolidation of former municipalities progresses, public services provided by the government are declining and the government and local residents are diverging.
In this regard, some interviewees pointed out the decline in public services and the disconnect between the local government and local residents.
Some respondents pointed out that “the level of attachment to the local community is low.
　The level of “attachment to the community” was 59% for “very attached” and 59% for “attached to the community”.
59.6% of the respondents answered that they were “very attached” and 24.6% answered that they were “somewhat attached.
The “level of attachment to the region” was 84.2%, with 59.6% saying they were “very attached” and 24.6% saying they were “somewhat attached” to the region.
Similarly, 93% of the respondents “want to continue to live in the area,” 43.9% “want to continue to live in the area,” and 49.1% “want to continue to live in the area if possible.
The same is true of the “wish to settle down,” with 43.9% saying they would like to continue living there and 49.1% saying they would like to continue if possible.
The results show the strength of the respondents’ feelings toward the land and houses in which they have lived for many years.

The geographical conditions of the remote areas also led to a decline in private welfare services (home-visits and day-care centers), which are developed on a market basis.
The result is a combination of factors, such as a decline in the number of private social services (in-home and day care services)
This may be the result of a combination of factors.

Tables 7 and 8 show a cross tabulation of “daily life concerns (multiple responses)” and “welfare services needed (multiple responses)” by family structure. First, Table 7 shows the “daily life concerns” of the “one-person” households.
The “health of self and family” was selected by 24.6% of the respondents in the “one-person” households.
The “health of self and family” was the most common concern for the “one-person” households (24.5%), followed by “daily
living and nursing care” at 22.3%, followed by “damage by birds and animals” at 13.3%.
The “Married Couple Only” households were the most likely to report “Health of self and family. In the “Married Couple Only” households, “Health of self and family” was selected by 34.5% of the respondents.

Two generation” households also showed high percentages for “Health of self and family” and “Living and caring for family members”.

and “Living and caring for family members” were also high.
This indicates that health and nursing care are the most important concerns for all family members.
The “parents and children” households also showed high percentages for “health of self and family” and “living and nursing care. However, the number of respondents who answered “parents and children alone” was
However, 13.3% of the respondents who answered “alone” indicated that they “have no concerns.

In particular, the activities of village supporters who absorb the voices of residents through their patrols are highly evaluated.

The activities of village supporters, who absorb the voices of residents through their patrols, are commendable.

The activities of community support workers, who absorb the voices of residents through their patrols, are highly appreciated.

　On the other hand, the aging of the population in the villages surveyed is remarkable.

The aging of the population in the villages surveyed is remarkable, with more than 40% of the respondents being in their 80s or older.

More than 40% of the respondents were in their 80s or older, and nearly half of them lived alone.

The number of respondents in their 80s or older was more than 40%, and nearly half of them lived alone. In addition, 12.8% of the total number of respondents
of the total respondents answered that they had “no one to talk to,” which gives a glimpse of the isolated state of the elderly.
This shows a glimpse of the isolated state of the respondents. Furthermore, a cross-analysis of the family structure

The cross-analysis with the “family structure” showed that “one-person” and “couple-only” households were particularly
This tendency was particularly pronounced among “one-person” and “married-couple” households.
The cross analysis with family structure also revealed that this tendency was particularly pronounced among “one-person” and “married couple” households. The means of transportation was mostly private cars and taxis.
Most of the respondents use private cars or cabs as their mode of transportation.
In order to cope with this situation, the city has established the “Hengchi Area Taxi
In response to this situation, the city has established the “Taxi Subsidy Program for Marginalized Communities.

The city is experimenting with a “Welfare Support Project for Marginalized Villages.

The city has been experimentally implementing the “Welfare Assistance Project for Marginalized Communities”.
Based on the results of this project, it is necessary to promote mobility measures (such as demand buses) through collaboration between the public and private sectors.
The city is experimenting with a “subsidy program for taxi use in frontier areas, etc.
The results of the project are being tested.

　In addition, the concerns of daily life and the welfare support to cope with them are also discussed.
For the concerns of daily life and welfare support to cope with these concerns, we have “local medical

and “monitoring and safety confirmation,” etc., to “enable people to continue living at home.
They want a comprehensive support system that enables them to continue living at home.
and strong desire to settle in the area.
It is needless to say that this is correlated with a very high level of attachment to the community and a strong desire to settle down.
It is needless to say. On the other hand, interviews with the people involved in the
On the other hand, interviews with stakeholders indicate that the likelihood of villages like the one in the surveyed area disappearing in the near future is high.
On the other hand, interviews with stakeholders indicate that there is a high possibility that settlements like the ones in the study area will disappear in the near future, and that it is difficult to stop them at this point.
It is difficult to stop it at this point in time.
However, it is important to keep them as close as possible to the land they have lived in.
　However, the majority of the respondents expressed a desire to live in their familiar places as long as possible.
However, while the majority of the residents would like to live in their old neighborhoods as long as possible
However, while the majority of residents wish to live in their own neighborhoods for as long as possible, many of them are concerned that local relationships and activities may be weakened or
and activities in the community have become weaker and weaker as a result of the merger.
However, while the majority of residents wish to live in the land they have lived in for as long as they have lived there, many of them recognize that relationships and activities in the community have become weaker and less active due to the merger. The government, social welfare councils, and other related organizations

As shown in the questionnaire survey, the villagers tend to respect the relationship between the local community and the local residents.
As shown in the questionnaire survey, villagers tend to respect the relationship between the local community and the local residents.
For example
For example, it is necessary to regularly visit the homes of residents who live alone and have little or no one to talk to.
For example, if we promote local volunteer activities to regularly visit the homes of residents who live alone and have little or no one to talk to
For example, if local volunteer activities to regularly visit the homes of residents who live alone and have little or no one to talk to are promoted, it is possible to reduce their isolation and prevent their health and care.
This will help to alleviate their isolation and to understand their health status and the level of need for care prevention.
In addition, as in the surveyed areas, the public welfare service is not available in the surveyed areas.
　In addition, if public welfare services (e.g., long-term care insurance services) are not available in the surveyed areas
In addition, in areas where public welfare services (e.g., long-term care insurance services) are not readily available, such as in the study area
In addition, in areas where public welfare services (e.g., long-term care insurance services) are not readily available (i.e., the supply system is very limited), it is necessary to provide transportation to access services.
In addition, in areas where public welfare services (e.g., long-term care insurance services) are difficult to access (i.e., the supply system is very limited), measures to secure means of transportation to use the services are needed.

However, in the accumulated practice of music, it is not always possible to see the whole picture of what is being done.

The problem is that there is a lack of a common understanding of how to evaluate what has been produced by the practices that have been developed through the free thinking of practitioners.
The problem is that there is a lack of a common understanding of how to evaluate what practices have been created.
It is difficult to set a certain goal and evaluate
It is difficult to set certain goals and evaluate them in terms of perspective. This is because, in order for practices to manifest themselves in various ways, it is difficult to set common goals and evaluate them in perspective.
Because of the diversity of practices, it is very difficult to set a common goal.
It is very difficult to set a common goal because of the diversity of practice manifestations.
Therefore, the conventional practice of setting such goals

to solve these difficulties, we need to take one direction in terms of how we view the practice by the subject.
In order to resolve these difficulties, a direction must be taken in terms of how to perceive this
The direction is to be diverse. This orientation is based on the fact
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that facts are produced by various practices.

In this paper, we will discuss how the facts are evaluated in the context of the evaluation research of music activities as “welfare culture.

If, therefore, only the intentions of the musical activity and the results produced as a result of the musical activity are described without describing the interaction in the performance, the
the nature of the musical activity as a human activity would not be sufficiently demonstrated.
The nature of the musical activity as an action to the human being would not be adequately demonstrated. In this case, the core of the musical activity and the performance will be described in the following way.
In this case, specific descriptions of the performance interactions that are at the core of musical activities would not be sufficient.
The specific description of the performance exchange, which is the core of the musical activity, is indispensable to grasp the nature of the musical activity.
The following is a brief description of the core of the musical activity. This is because

The reason is that the subject formation of the subject in the various aspects that arise from the Therefore, in this analysis
Therefore, in this analysis, we will focus on cases in which the interaction of specific performance activities is described (4).
Therefore, this analysis will focus on cases in which the specific performance interaction is described4) .
　Next, we will discuss the reasons for this case study among the multiple cases
(Matsubara 2010a), the reason why this case is chosen is
This case is chosen because it describes in the most detail the interaction between the practitioner and the subject in the performance activities.
(Matsubara 2010a), because this case describes the interaction between the practitioner and the subject in the most detail.
The reason why this case is chosen is that it describes the interaction between the practitioner and the subject in the most detail. The reason why this case is selected is because it describes the most detailed exchange of performance activities between the practitioner and the subject.
Saeki’s case (Saeki 2010) is the most detailed description of the interaction between the practitioner and the subject.
Saeki’s case (Saeki 2010) describes a specific performance interaction (see Appendix 1 for source).

View of Music as

　In this paper, we will examine the role of music as a form of welfare culture.
This paper will distinguish music activities as a way of working with people
music activities as a way of reaching out to people, as represented by music activities as a welfare culture.
music activities as a way of working with people, as represented by music activities as welfare culture. In other words, we distinguish what makes music possible
What makes music possible is distinguished between technical and human
and musical beauty as a synthesis of these two.
The technical impetus of music is the The technical aspects of music are the technical and human aspects of music, and musical beauty is seen as the integration of these aspects.

The technical opportunity of music is the core of musical activities, which is directly constituted by performances.

I am currently active in a welfare-related NPO and also work as a lecturer at a qualification school and a vocational school. When I was working for a general company, I had to hide the fact that I was working for a general company.
I hid something when I was working for a general company.
I am a person who stutters. I am a person who stutters

（I am a person who stutters (a minority).
　As the phrase “I have hidden my stuttering” suggests, my stuttering is
I have hidden my stuttering from people around me unless I
people around me do not know about my stuttering unless I come out. For example, as an instructor
I read aloud during lectures and communicate with students

I can read aloud during lectures and communicate with students
I am also able to speak “normally” in daily conversation. In fact, students and colleagues
In fact, I have never had a student or colleague point out that I stutter.
I have never had a student or colleague point out my stuttering. My stuttering may be mild in that it “doesn’t show on the surface”.
I might say that my stuttering is mild in that it does not “surface.
I would like to start with the first part of my stuttering story. I would like to begin with a retrospective
I would like to recount my history with my stuttering.

　A memory that I cannot shake off. It goes back
It dates back to 40 years ago.
　It came upon me suddenly one day in a Japanese class.

　It was in a Japanese class.
　When I was assigned to read “Non-chan Kumo ni Noru” (Non-chan Rides on Clouds)
When I was asked to read “Non-chan Kumo ni Noru” (Non-chan Rides on Clouds)
When the teacher was assigned to read “Non-chan Kumo ni Noru” (Non-chan Rides on Clouds)
The first letter of the word “Non-chan” (Non-chan) was not pronounced. The silence for a while must have seemed strange to those around him.
The people around him must have found this strange. The people around me
Non-chan, Non-chan, Non-chan,” were heard from the people around her.
Non-chan, Non-chan. The girl sitting next to me
pointed to her textbook and said, “Here, here
She tells me “Here, here. Of course, I knew the number of pages
and I knew where to read it. In my mind
I could read the text smoothly in my mind.
But, as if my throat was in knots, I tried to speak out, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t.
I tried to speak, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not make out the first sound.
I could not make the first sound, no matter how hard I tried to speak.
I was in a state of paralysis. The teacher must have become numb to the situation.
I guess the teacher must have been numb to the situation. Another student was appointed to take my place.
I sat down in my seat, stunned.
I was stunned and sat down. I still have vivid memories of the indescribable “uneasiness” I felt at that moment.
I still vividly recall the indescribable “uneasiness” I felt.
I can still vividly recall the indescribable feeling of anxiety I felt. That was 40 years ago, when I was in the third grade of elementary school.

I was in the third grade of elementary school.
　Since then, whenever it was time for me to read aloud
I would always stumble over my words when it was time to recite.
Then, when it was time to read, she would stumble over her words. Then, when I tried to force myself to speak, I would get stuck.

And the reaction of the people around me at that time was “no, no, no, no, no, no! And the reaction of the people around me at that time was always “laughter.
The response was always “laughter. Was it a sense of superiority
Was it a sense of superiority, a sneer, or just a curiosity without malice?

I was fortunate that my stuttering was not a problem for my junior high school students. Fortunately, my stuttering became mild after junior high school.
However, this did not mean that I was free from the pain.

2 What is stuttering?

　When I was still a graduate student, there were people who did not understand the word “stuttering.
I was still a graduate student, there was a person who did not understand the word “stuttering,” but when I said “stammering
When I said “stammering,” he understood. Stuttering is “stammering” 1).

　When I looked up “stuttering” in a Japanese dictionary, I found “stutter: to stammer or stutter without saying something smoothly or in the same tone.
Stammering is a stuttering sound.
Stammering is a stuttering. When nervous, it is called -stuttering‖ (Gakkenken).
(Gakken Modern New Japanese Dictionary, Revised Edition)

(Gakken Modern New Japanese Dictionary, Revised 4th Edition).
　According to the World Health Organization (WHO)
Stuttering is “a voluntary return of speech that occurs when the speaker knows what he or she wants to say, but does not

　According to the WHO definition, stuttering is
three meanings.
The first is “repetition.
　
The first is “repetition. This is
as the Japanese dictionary says, means “the repetition of the same sound.
For example, if you want to say “Thank you
For example, if you want to say “thanks,” you may end up saying “ah ah ah ah ah ah
For example, when you want to say “thanks,” it becomes “ah ah ah ah ah arigato.
　
The second “stretching” is a way of saying “aaarigatou
The second one is “stretching”, which is a way of stretching the sound
The second is “stretching”, which is a way of stretching a sound. And the third one is “stop of articulation”.
The third, “vocalic cessation

The “…” part shows the state of being stuck in silence when trying to say “thank you”.
The “…” part shows the state of being stuck in silence when trying to say “thank you”. Then, when he tries to force his voice to come out, he says, “I’m sorry.
When he tries to say “thank you” forcibly, he says, “……… ah ah ah thank you.
Thank you,” and the words shift from “cessation of speech” to “repetition” or “repetition.

When the stutterer tries to force his or her voice, he or she may shift from “cessation of speech” to “repetition.
　Generally, in adults who stutter, the “cessation of speech”
is generally said to be the most common form of stuttering in adults, whereas “repetition” is more common in children.

It is difficult to tell whether a person stutters or not. In other words, there are a few stutterers who are able to hide their stuttering.
Many people who stutter are able to hide their stuttering (or hide it).

“Fear of the scene” was a place (time) for reading.
I was able to speak fluently in everyday conversations with teachers and friends, but when it came to reading, I wondered why.
However, when it came to reading out loud, for some reason, the words
I also had a fear of reading out loud in Japanese class. The day before the Japanese class, he asked himself, “What if I am guessed?
The day before Japanese class, she was anxious about what would happen if she

　5) Many stutterers have difficulty saying their own name like a fruit from a tree.
I myself am the same. I myself am one of them.
I myself am the same way. For example, when I meet a student for the first time, the most nervous moment is when he or she tells me his or her name.

　Since the cause is not known, no treatment method has been established.
However, the cause is not known, and therefore, no treatment method has yet been established.

There is no treatment or training for stuttering. Some stuttering clinicians and researchers
and others advocate that “stuttering should be cured,” while others, such as the above-mentioned Ito
while others, such as Ito above, say that “stuttering cannot be cured”.
8). What about me?
I am not sure if it can be cured or not.
I am not sure if it can be cured or not, but I think it can be alleviated by the “environment.
I do not know if it can be cured or not.

3 Research on the parties concerned

3-1 My simple question
　First of all, the reason why I sought a way of life in the “research on the parties concerned” is due to the following reasons.
The reason why I sought “party research” is as follows.
　When I was a graduate student, I took up people who stutter as my research subject.
I collected and presented my own experiences and
I collected and presented my own experiences and the voices of people who stutter on the Internet.
I was questioned by a fellow seminar member about the objectivity of my research.
I was questioned by my seminar mates about my objectivity. In other words, I was asked by my seminar mates if I believed the voices on the Internet
In other words, my colleagues pointed out that we should not take the voices on the Internet for granted.
The research also says, “The research is not a It goes without saying that research must be objective.
objectivity, and that we should not talk about our personal experiences.
should not talk about their personal experiences.
However, I was told that the research should be objective and that I should not talk about my personal experiences. However, when I read books written by researchers
However, when I read books written by people who are said to be researchers
However, when I read books written by people who are said to be researchers, I find that they are written directly from what they have heard from
The literature that is written by researchers is also found to
There are also references to the voices of the subjects of the research that have been picked up from the Internet.

Then, why is it permissible for the people concerned to do the research? Then, why is it not allowed for the parties concerned to do it, but it is allowed for non-participants?

Why is it not allowed when it is done by the parties concerned, but it is allowed when it is done by non-parties?

　The question is addressed by Takao Suzuki, a researcher and a patient with a neurological incurable disease.

and researcher Takao Suzuki, who is a person with neurological incurable disease, commented on the position of the researcher in qualitative research.
researcher in qualitative research, “Majority = researcher and investigator,” and “minority = minority researcher and investigator.
Majority=researcher/surveyor” and “Minority=researcher/surveyed
Majority = researcher/researcher and minority = subject of the research/research.

　One of the purposes of our listening activities is to listen to the memories of the Showa period (1926-1989).
We initially decided not to conduct the listening session because the participants were too old.
We were initially concerned that the participants might not have much to say due to their advanced age.
We were concerned that the participants might not be able to tell us much about their memories of the Showa period, one of our listening activities. However, many of the participants were able to conquer their memories of those days.

Yasuko Ichibanase and the Theory of Welfare Culture
Kiyoshi Baba, Director (former Executive Director), Japan Society for Welfare Culture

1) Why “Welfare Culture”?
　I first met Ms. Ichibangase on July 16, 1989.
July 16, 1989. Why do I remember this date accurately?
I was a part-time teacher at a high school at the time, and I was working as a member of the Board of Directors of the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare Culture. I was a part-time high school teacher at the time.
I was a part-time high school teacher at the time, and I was fortunate enough to serve as the MC for the inauguration ceremony. The other emcee was Riji Sakurai, the first vice president of the society.
The other MC was Riji Sakurai, who was to become the first vice president. Mr. Sakurai, however, did not specialize in welfare, nor did he have any experience working in the welfare field.
I was not a welfare specialist, nor did I have any experience working in the welfare field.

-In a sense, this is what a welfare culture society should be.

In a sense, this is an example that symbolizes the way the Japan Welfare Culture Association should be. Just looking at the list of founders at that time
The list of founders at that time alone shows a “diversity” that is very different from that of conventional welfare-related societies.
The “diversity” of the founders at that time was very different from that of conventional welfare-related academic societies.
and what Mr. Ichibanagase was seeking. In particular
It is noteworthy that people who have no connection to the world of “welfare” are actively participating in the society.
and it is what Mr. Ichibanagase was aiming for.
This is what Mr. Ichibangase was aiming for.
　Why did Mr. Ichibanagase establish the study of welfare culture and
Why did Mr. Ichibangase establish the study of welfare culture and start up the Japan Society of Welfare Culture? I will leave the details to the following roundtable discussion.
I would like to point out the following four points.
I would like to point out the following four points.
　The first point is, needless to say, that “the times are changing.
The first point is, needless to say, the “changing times. After the high economic growth and the oil shock, the content of happiness has changed from “quantity” to “quality.
The first point is, needless to say, the change of the times. The commercial copy of “From Moretsu to Beautiful” was popular.
The United Nations has replaced the conventional measures of wealth, such as gross domestic product (GDP) and national income (NI), with the new measures of quality and quantity.
The United Nations introduced the concept of a “Human Development Index” in addition to its previous measures of wealth, such as “Gross Domestic Product (GDP)” and “National Income (NI). In this context, the concept of “human development index” was introduced.
In this context, postwar views of welfare, such as poverty relief, charity, and “helping the poor,” were also forced to undergo major changes.
In this context, the postwar view of welfare, which included poverty relief, charity, and “helping the poor,” was forced to undergo major changes. In this context, it was necessary to construct a “new view of welfare,” or, as Mr. Ichibanase put it, a “true view of welfare.
In this context, it was necessary to construct a “new view of welfare,” or as Ms. Ichibangase put it, a “true view of welfare.
　On the other hand, conventional welfare research had not caught up with the changes of the times. This “limitation of welfare research
Limitations of Welfare Research” is the second background.
The second background is “the limitation of welfare research. The “takotsubo” welfare research, so to speak, cannot study and promote the true state of welfare.
The second reason is that welfare research has not been able to promote and study the true nature of welfare. If welfare is a study that considers “people’s happiness” and “the path to happiness,” then it is necessary to consider how the happiness of the 6 billion people in the world should be.
If welfare is a study that considers “people’s happiness” and “paths to happiness,” then there are 6 billion different ways of happiness for 6 billion people.
The “study of welfare,” which studies this, is naturally a study of human beings themselves. If this is the case, people from a wide range of fields will come together to exchange and deepen their wisdom and skills.
and skills, and deepen each other’s knowledge and skills. The so-called “welfare system,” “welfare technology,” and other specialists, researchers, and
and researchers, but also from a wide range of fields (e.g., art, architecture, literature, media, etc.).
and media, but also from a wide range of fields (e.g., art, architecture, literature, media, etc.), and to position “welfare” as part of the national culture.
In addition, the qualification of welfare was also developed during this period.
　In 1987, the Social Worker and Care Worker Law was enacted.
In 1987, the Social Worker and Care Worker Law was enacted. Although this had a certain effect in improving the qualifications of those working in the field of welfare, it also had a negative impact on the uniformity of subjects.
However, the uniformity of subjects and the tendency to focus on entrance examinations came to the fore, and the law diverged from its original purpose of fostering human resources who would be responsible for “welfare.
However, the uniformity of subjects and the tendency to focus on entrance examinations were pushed to the forefront, and the original goal of fostering human resources to take charge of “welfare” was lost. Among them, Ms. Ichibangase was very concerned about the importance of learning “history.
In particular, Ms. Ichibangase repeatedly pointed out the importance of studying “history.
　Under these circumstances, in the field of welfare, creative welfare, which is not the traditional accommodation-centered or poverty relief-oriented welfare, has been emerging, even if not in large numbers.
In the midst of this situation, creative welfare programs, which were not the conventional incarceration-centered or poverty-measure welfare programs, were being created little by little. For example, Yasuo Harima of Tanpopo-no-ie and Nemunoki
For example, Yasuo Harima of Tanpopo-no-ie, Mariko Miyagi of Nemunoki Gakuen, Riji Sakurai of Waiwai Kyokoku (The Republic of Waiwai), and
For example, Hiroyo Ubayama of Yukiwari Sou…. These are examples of out-of-the-box welfare practices, new and creative, that are not bound by the qualification system.
The keynote speaker, Director Baba, will present the practices of people who are creating a new and creative culture of welfare.

Keynote Report by Director Baba

-Dr. Baba

-The keynote speaker, Mr. Baba, will discuss the future of welfare in Japan.

I think it is necessary to think about the ideal state of welfare in the future. Such thoughts of Mr. Ichibanagase led to the founding of “Welfare Culture and Chemistry” and “Society of Welfare Culture.
This is what led Mr. Ichibanagase to establish “Welfare Culture and Chemistry” and “The Society for the Study of Welfare Culture.

(2) The Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture’s Aim for Welfare
　What kind of welfare does the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture aim for? Here we will discuss the following four points.
I would like to explain based on four sentences.
The first is “welfare in which the individual is valued.
　The first is “welfare in which the individual is valued. This is not the conventional welfare that is based on systems, laws, or organizations.
The first is “welfare in which the individual is valued.
The next is “welfare that supports a sense of purpose in life.
　Next is “welfare that supports a sense of purpose in life. In the conventional welfare system, which aims at physical and economic independence, there is a tendency to focus on the “welfare that helps people live worthwhile lives.
For example, elderly people with dementia, people with disabilities caused by progressive diseases, and people at the end of their life lose sight of their goals.
They are not. Instead, no matter how severe the disability, whether bedridden, or suffering from advanced dementia, they are always able to live “as they are” in their own way.
No matter how severe their disabilities, whether they are bedridden or suffering from advanced dementia, the most important thing is to find their “purpose in life” and to support them in fulfilling their purpose.
The third is “a welfare system that is rich in creativity,” which is the ideal of the welfare system.
　
The third is “creative welfare. The third is “creative welfare.
The third is “creative welfare,” which is the way of welfare that Mr. Ichigase aimed for. In fact, the four practitioners introduced above, who could be called masters of welfare culture
The four practitioners introduced above are all
The four practitioners introduced above, who are masters of welfare culture, were all originally active in fields that had nothing to do with welfare. The power of these people has created a wealth of creativity that transcends conventional wisdom.
The four practitioners, who could be called masters of welfare culture, were all originally active in fields that had nothing to do with welfare.
　In order to realize such practices, “welfare that utilizes the wisdom and ingenuity of various fields” is necessary.
In order to realize such practices, “welfare that utilizes the wisdom and ingenuity of various fields” is necessary. In order to value the individual and realize the happiness of each person, a wide range of knowledge and abilities are required.
However, not everyone in the welfare field is a superman. However, not everyone in the field of welfare is a superman. Not everyone in the field of welfare is a superman.
However, they are able to work in a variety of fields, such as music, painting, theater, and theater. However, there are many different fields, such as music, painting, theater, storytelling, travel, architecture, cinema, fashion, etc.
travel, architecture, film, fashion, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
The master of welfare culture is the one who calls upon the experts. The masters of welfare culture are also masters of attracting experts.
　The Society of Welfare Culture was founded to study and promote this new form of welfare.
The Society for the Study of Welfare Culture was founded in order to study and disseminate this new form of welfare.

3) What is welfare culture?
　So, what did Mr. Ichibanagase himself think about welfare culture? What did Ichibanagase himself think about welfare culture?
The first article of “The Theory of Welfare Culture” (Yuhikaku), the first article of “Journal of Welfare Culture Studies” No.1, and so on.
The first article in the first issue of “Journal of Welfare Culture
Mr. Ichibangase has discussed “what welfare culture is” in various places. Please read them.
I would like to introduce the “Welfare Culture” which was published to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the society.
The book is part of the “Welfare Culture Library,” which was published to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the society.
The following are a few quotations from the book, “Pioneering Welfare, Creating Culture” (Chuohoki Publishing Co., Ltd.), which was published to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the society.
　What is welfare culture, by the way? In short, it is a concept that comprehensively captures the culturalization of welfare and the welfare-ization of culture.
The ultimate goal of social welfare is to help people realize themselves and to pursue that way of being.
“If we take the viewpoint that the ultimate purpose of social welfare is to assist in self-realization and to pursue that way of being, then there can be no social welfare that does not include culture.

“The concept of

It is not an exaggeration to say that social welfare cannot exist without culture.

I believe that the foundation of culture can be broadened, deepened, and enhanced only when all people live their daily lives with the aim of creating culture from the grassroots.

I believe that the foundation of culture will be broadened, deepened, and enhanced only when all people live their daily lives with the aim of creating culture from the grassroots.

I would like to use the word “welfare culture” to imagine the creation of a way of being in which all people can enjoy themselves to their heart’s content, enhance each other, and live a humane life.

　What kind of image of welfare culture do these words conjure up? There may be many interpretations.

There may be many interpretations. Since its founding, the Japan Society for Welfare Culture has discussed the definition of “welfare culture” on various occasions.

However, to sum up, there is no official view or definition of “welfare culture” at this stage.

However, at this point, there is no official view or definition of “welfare culture.

　However, having been involved in the activities of the Japan Welfare Culture Association in various capacities, and having been in direct contact with what Mr. Ichibanagase has talked and written

I have been involved in the activities of the Welfare Culture Association in various capacities, and have come in direct contact with what Mr. Ichibanagase has talked and written about. First of all, “welfare” in “welfare culture” means “welfare” as in “welfare culture.

Welfare” in “welfare culture” means “to make it possible for all people, as individuals, to lead their own unique and irreplaceable lives.

The “welfare” of “welfare culture” is “to make it possible for all people to lead their own unique and irreplaceable lives. This is combined with “culture,” i.e., “the idea that one way of thinking can lead to

culture,” or “the establishment of one way of thinking as a way of acting and thinking by many people,” is added to this.

culture,” that is, “a way of thinking that takes root as a way of acting and thinking for many people.

In other words, Mr. Ichibanagase means “to create a society where people can live to their fullest potential as individuals. In other words, Mr. Ichibanagase is asking us to “bring together the wisdom and ingenuity of all fields

I would like us to “think about and practice the ultimate form of welfare that can enhance the dignity of each individual human being by bringing together the wisdom and ingenuity of all fields.

and practice it, so that it will become a normal way of thinking and behavior for many people.

I hope that this will become the norm as a way of thinking and behavior for many people. I think that is the message we wanted to convey.

　In this sense, we need to continue to exchange opinions about “the ultimate welfare.

The true welfare, the true welfare, the ultimate welfare, the ultimate welfare. Real welfare, true welfare, the ultimate state of human happiness. We need to discuss it, think about the way society should be to realize it, and then decide what we should do to make it happen.

and put it into practice. This is the major homework given to us by Mr. Ichibanagase.

This is the major homework given to us by Mr. Ichibanase, and it is the “destination” that the Japan Welfare Culture Association should pursue in the future.

4) Welfare Culture and Human Rights Culture

　Mr. Ichibangase often said that “welfare culture” is almost synonymous with “human rights culture.

　It goes without saying that, historically speaking, “human rights” first expanded in terms of “object” and then in terms of “content.

Then, the content was expanded. In other words, what was once the right of only a privileged few, through the efforts of thousands and thousands of people, has gradually become something that can be enjoyed by many.

The “human rights” were first broadened in terms of “subjects,” and then in terms of “content. On the other hand, in terms of content, the rights started with the guarantee of life.

freedom of speech, freedom of movement, the right to vote, etc., and more recently, the right to privacy, the right to the environment, and so on.

Recently, the content of the rights to be guaranteed has been expanding.

　Under these circumstances, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states in Article 1
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity, rights and freedoms.

and equal in dignity and rights,” followed by 30 articles on the specific nature of human rights.
Article 1 states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Article 27 states that “Everyone shall be free to participate in the cultural life of society, to appreciate the arts and sciences, and to make progress in science.
Everyone has the right to participate freely in the cultural life of society, to appreciate the arts, and to enjoy the progress of science and its benefits. In both cases, the subject is “all people.
The subject of both articles is “all people. Of course, no matter what kind of disability, dementia, bedridden, age, sex, disability, etc., everyone has the right to participate in the cultural life of society.

regardless of age, gender, disability, nationality, etc. All people” – “all people” – “all people” – “all people” – “all people”

-And

The society in which “all people” can live not only as human beings, but also as individuals, and can live and achieve self-fulfillment in their own way, making the most of their potential.
and make it a natural value (culture), and to make it a culture of welfare.
We believe that this is what welfare culture is all about.
　In this sense, we must constantly focus our attention on those who are being kept away from the guarantee of human rights (those who are being kept away from the guarantee of human rights).
We need to keep our eyes on those who are being kept away from human rights and check whether they are really being cared for as individuals.
This is precisely what the Welfare Culture Association is trying to do. This is the mission of the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture.
　Then, what kind of people are “those who are kept away from human rights guarantees”? Of course, it is difficult to say.
It is, of course, hard to say, but it is the so-called welfare recipients, people on the margins, people who are discriminated against or oppressed, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities, and others.
and ethnic and sexual minorities, etc., and consider whether they are truly “happy,” and if they are not, whether they are “happy” in the true sense of the word.
If they are not, how can they become “happy”?
And if they are not, how can they become “happy”? The accumulation of such efforts, one by one, is the path to the realization of a welfare culture, and the destination of the Welfare Culture Association.
This is the destination of the Society for the Study of Welfare Culture.

(1) Introduction

　When the new structure of the Japan Society for Welfare Culture
When the new structure of the Japan Welfare Culture Association was established five years ago, one of our first tasks was to respond to
One of our first tasks when the new structure of the Japan Welfare Culture Association was established five years ago was to respond to former President Ichibangase’s resignation as honorary president. At that time, former President Ichibangase, through his representative (his adopted daughter), announced that “the Japan Society of Welfare Culture is not a
He said, “The Welfare and Culture Society of Japan does not belong to Ichibangase personally. Rather, he said, “The Society of Welfare Culture is not Ichibangase’s personal property. Rather … rather than keeping the name of an individual, from now on
I hope that from now on, you yourself will make efforts for the development of welfare culture, rather than leaving your personal name. I hope that the seeds I have sown will be
I am happy that the seeds I have sown will be developed into future practice and research by each and every member,” he said.
He resigned as “Honorary President. Regardless of how the remaining members of the association may perceive it, former President Ichiban
The Board of Directors praised him for his grace in making such a statement (request). The Board of Directors also praised former President Ichibangase’s

The Board of Directors confirmed that they “take seriously” former President Ichibangase’s “declining to become Honorary Chairman” and the “content” of his “declaration”. Ichibangase
The “resignation of former President Ichibangase from the honorary chairmanship” and the “content” of the resignation are
We should not only rely on her, but also stand on our own feet, utilize the seeds she sowed for our future practice and research, and deepen and develop our activities.
I think it meant that we should not only rely on former President Ichibangase, but also stand on our own and make use of the seeds she planted in our future practice and research, and deepen and develop them.
　However, the association, which has been sustained by the charisma of former President Ichibangase, has undoubtedly been at a crossroads in the past few years.
However, the society, which has been sustained by the charisma of former President Ichibangase, has definitely come to a crossroads in recent years. This is because a large number of people who had walked with former President Ichibangase have left the Society.
The reason is that a large number of people who had walked with former President Ichibangase have left the society. Although we have been able to stop the significant decline in membership to some extent, the situation still does not allow for optimism.
The situation is still unpredictable. In addition, we have not been able to fully respond to the points raised by speakers at the Tokyo and Nagasaki congresses regarding the Japan Society for Welfare and Culture.
The situation is such that we have not been able to fully respond to the points raised by the speakers at the Tokyo and Nagasaki congresses.
　Nevertheless, we have been working hard for the past five years to bring together new energies and to create a new society.
We will continue to mobilize new energies and create new and attractive initiatives over the next five years.
We have condensed the “creation of appealing initiatives” into the following six items, and have formulated a plan for each of them.

The report presents the results of the “Welfare and Culture Concepts” project, which was launched in April 2008.
　In this report, we will focus exclusively on “clarification of the concept of welfare culture,” and will ask ourselves the question, “How have each theorist expressed welfare culture?
This report will focus exclusively on “clarifying the concept of welfare culture,” and will approach the given theme by asking myself the question, “How have each theorist expressed welfare culture?

(2) How each theorist has described “welfare culture”

(
(1) Learning from the Tokyo Conference
　In the 20th issue of “Journal of Welfare Culture Studies,” Baba1) proposed the “creative welfare culture theory” that the author proposes (aiming at a creative welfare culture society and a pluralistic symbiotic society).
(Creative Welfare Culture Theory), which the author proposes (aiming for a creative welfare culture society and a pluralistic symbiotic welfare culture society).
The “Harima-Ubayama controversy” held at the Tokyo Conference is analyzed. As a result, the paper finds that Ubayama’s practice contributed somewhat to the realization of a “heteronormative welfare culture society,” but that the “assimilative welfare culture activities” were not the most effective.
The results show that although Ubayama’s practice contributed somewhat to the realization of a “heterogeneous welfare culture society,” it did not go beyond the realm of “assimilative welfare culture activities.
The difference between Harima’s practice and that of Harima, which is positioned as a “differentiated welfare culture practice” and is developing a practice to achieve a “pluralistic symbiotic welfare culture society,” is clear.
Harima’s point is that the “cultural activities of welfare” are not in the “heteronormative welfare culture” area. Furthermore, Harima’s point is that all practices are “wonderful welfare activities” without distinguishing between assimilation and dissimilation of various welfare culture activities.
Harima’s point was also a criticism of the Japanese Society for Welfare Culture Studies, which treats all practices as “excellent welfare culture practices” without distinguishing between assimilation and
Harima’s point was also a criticism of the Japanese Society for Welfare Culture, which treats all practices as “wonderful welfare culture practices” without distinguishing between assimilation and dissimilation.

(2) Learning from the Nagasaki Conference
(2) Learning from the Nagasaki Conference
　(2) Learning from the Nagasaki Conference
In Volume 5 of the New Welfare Culture Series, “The Origin and Advancement of Welfare Culture Studies,” Tsumagari2) refers to “Ichibangase Fukushi Gaku” (“Ichibangase Welfare Culture Studies”).

(Although it is titled “Ichiban-gase Fukushi Bunka-gaku,” there is almost no reference to “welfare culture”).
The raison d’être of the Japan Society of Welfare Culture is to question the quality of “social welfare” as it has existed up to now.

The “raison d’être of the Japan Welfare Culture Association is to question the quality of the past ‘social welfare'” and to “thoroughly examine what kind of welfare has existed until now. This is a very useful point.
This is a very informative point.
　In the same book, Nagayama3) discusses the “welfare culture of the administration” and the “welfare culture of Ichiban-gase. Among them
In the book, Nagayama3) discusses the “welfare culture of the administration” and the “welfare culture of Ichiban-gase.
The “welfare culture” of Ichibangase was born out of the emergence of the welfare idea of “symbiosis.
In contrast, Ichibanagase’s “welfare culture” is a concept that emerged from the emergence of the “symbiosis” concept of welfare.
　In the same book, Hibino4) states that “the acculturation of welfare is the acculturation of the welfare system (various human beings and their happiness).

The three-layered structure of welfare culture” is expressed as “Culture of Life, Culture of Living, and Culture of Life => Welfare. Art, environment, and welfare.

-Art, Environment, and Welfare.
108
-Social culture” is replaced by “culture of life.

The “social culture” is replaced by the “life culture,” but the “life culture” is rather the “culture of purpose in life.

The “culturalization of welfare” and “culturalization of welfare” should be expressed as “culture of life, culture of living, culture of motivation ⇔ welfare.
The “culture of welfare” should be expressed as “culture of life, culture of living, culture of motivation ⇔ welfare. In addition, the Committee’s report states that “the welfare practice centered on ‘survival assurance’ in ‘institutions’ should be replaced by the welfare practice in ‘communities'”.
The Committee’s report also states that “the change from welfare practice centered on ‘guaranteeing survival’ in ‘institutions’ to welfare practice emphasizing ‘assurance of purpose in life’ in the ‘community’ will enhance the ‘welfare
The committee reported that “the welfare practice centered on ‘survival assurance’ in ‘institutions’ should be changed to a welfare practice emphasizing ‘assurance of purpose in life’ in ‘communities’ to enhance ‘welfare and cultural quality of life. In response to the expression “‘From institution to community’ is of course important, but ‘from the institution as a base to the community’ is not.
In response to the expression, “Of course it is important to move from the institution to the community, but it is also necessary to move from the institution as a base to the community.
In response to the phrase “from facilities to the community” is important, of course, but it is also necessary to propose the idea of “from the base of facilities to the community”. For example, in 1986, a senior official of the Swedish Social Services Administration, who was also a member of the Swedish Society for the Promotion of Social Welfare, stated, “The Swedish social service is a social welfare institution.
For example, in 1986, a senior official of the Swedish Social Services Administration stated in a newspaper that “residential care facilities are harmful.
The 1990 Social Agency report stated that “residential institutions are invisible, isolated, unchanging, mechanical, and centrally controlled.
They are mechanical and centralized without change, protective without social relations, and unequal without respect for the person’s wishes” as stated in a 1990 Social Agency report.
The point of view of Hibino cannot be accepted as it is, considering that the abolition of residential care facilities in Sweden was led by his point of view.
Hibino’s point cannot be accepted as it is.

(3) Learning from the Sonoda paper
(3) Learning from Sonoda’s paper
　(3) Sonoda’s paper (5) is a critical examination of past welfare culture research and practice. In paper (1), she writes, “In
In paper 1), Sonoda asks, “Hasn’t the focus on pursuing ‘superior welfare culture practices’ led to a heightened perspective and a distancing from reality?
and “Have we not unknowingly dismissed ‘ordinary’ and ‘banal’ examples?
Sonoda’s point is that “welfare is not a matter of ‘the way we do things. Sonoda’s point is that “the critical perspective on the reality of welfare culture is insufficient.

“We should lower our eyes and face the realities that give rise to mediocrity, banality, and non-cultural conditions.
The paper (2) argues that “we should lower our eyes and look directly at the realities that give rise to mediocrity, banality, and non-cultural situations.
　In paper 2, Ichibanagase interprets the “culturalization of welfare and welfare of culture” theory as “reviewing welfare with the eyes of culture and culture with the eyes of welfare.
In Paper 2, we interpreted the theory of “culturalization of welfare and culture of welfare” as “reviewing welfare with the eyes of culture and culture with the eyes of welfare. In other words, “universalization for self-actualization.
In other words, it is a process of realizing a cultural way of being in the process of questioning the quality of “welfare” universalized for self-actualization.
It is a process of realizing a cultural way of being, and a culture created from within the people.
The “process of realizing a cultural way of being in the process of questioning the quality of “welfare” and the culture produced from among the people” is a “culture produced from among the people”.
He then stated, “Welfare culture is a cultural questioning of the quality of welfare. He then stated, “It is sufficient to understand that ‘welfare culture is the cultural situation in the welfare field.
The reality of the non-cultural situation is what must be faced. To this end, “we must face the reality that ‘welfare culture is a cultural situation in the welfare domain.
The “characteristics and traits of the ‘culture of welfare’ must be clarified, its biases, twists, and distortions must be noted and critically examined, and the reality of the non-cultural situation must be faced.
and how it interacts with and influences the various social relations that define the culture.
In other words, “to question the cultural activities that are generated daily in the field of social welfare from a deeper level of popular culture.
In other words, “to reexamine the cultural activities that are generated daily in the field of social welfare from the viewpoint of deep popular culture, and to examine how the cultural processes are developed and how they contribute to improving the cultural quality of welfare services.
We will also examine how the dominant culture in Japanese society permeates the field of welfare, and how the cultural
What forms does the dominant culture in Japanese society take in the field of welfare services?
The “cultural critique of welfare is necessary by pursuing the ideological nature of culture and its relationship with power (domination), gender perspectives, and subcultures. It is necessary to
The world of welfare culture is subordinate and marginalized, has a hybrid and popular character, and is more about place than subject, emotion and impulse than logic.
subculture that is developed in a flexible and inflexible manner, emphasizing place, emotion and impulse rather than logic.
The important theme for the present issue of “Studies in Welfare Culture” is to understand the uniformity and poverty (of subcultures) as the basis for the development of a new culture.

The important theme for the present issue of “Studies in Welfare Culture” is to critically examine the uniformity and poverty (of subcultures) from the perspective of social conditions.

(3) How should we describe “welfare culture” – symbiotic welfare culture and creative welfare culture?

　In response to the above-mentioned comments on the concept of “welfare culture” by various authors, I would like to rely, first of all, on the following two points
First of all, I would like to rely on the “welfare culture idea as a symbiotic principle” originating from Ichibanagase, rather than the welfare culture used by the government as pointed out by Nagayama.
First, I would like to rely on the concept of “welfare culture as a principle of symbiosis” originating from Ichibangase, rather than the welfare culture used by the government as Nagayama points out. Secondly, I would like to “face up to the reality of the non-cultural situation” and
and “pay attention to uniformity and poverty,” as well as “their biases, twists, and distortions,” and “from within the social conditions,” “we must take a critical look at the reality
and how it interacts with and influences the various social relations that define culture.
Sonoda’s point is to “pay attention to its biases, twists and turns, and distortions” and “from within social conditions” to “examine how it interacts and influences the various social relations that define culture.
　The “reality that gives rise to a noncultural situation,” as Sonoda points out, is a “nonhuman, nonwelfare culture society.

(a dehumanizing society that neglects the individual, deprives people of their dreams and hopes, and focuses on segregation, control, domination, classification, and incarceration, which is far from a welfare culture.
(a society that is not a welfare culture, but a dehumanizing society that neglects the individual, robs people of their dreams and hopes, and focuses on segregation, control, domination, classification, and incarceration).
(a society where individuals are valued equally and where dreams and hopes are spun, but walls are built around each other and those who are different are excluded, and only an immature welfare culture has developed).
(a society that values individuals equally and tries to weave dreams and hopes, but builds walls between each other, excludes heterogeneity, and has developed only an immature welfare culture) and “discriminatory immature welfare culture society” (a society that lives together, values individuals, and tries to weave dreams and hopes, but
(a society that lives together, values the individual, and tries to weave dreams and hopes, but still has an immature welfare culture in which discrimination exists and makes it difficult to live with each other).
We can interpret this as “inhumanity to humanity.
　We must not allow ourselves to fall back into an “inhuman, non-welfare culture society. We must not allow ourselves to fall back into a “dehumanizing non-welfare culture society.
We must be aware that we are still in a “society of exclusionary immature welfare culture” and a “society of discriminatory immature welfare culture.
In Sonoda’s words, we need to “be aware that we are still in an “exclusionary immature welfare culture society” and a “discriminatory immature welfare culture society. In Sonoda’s words, we need to “see the cultural activities that are generated daily in the field of social welfare” in relation to “various social conditions.
In Sonoda’s words, we need to ask ourselves why our activities are “uniform and poor” and why they are “biased, twisted, and unbalanced” in relation to “social conditions”.
Why are our activities “uniform and poor,” why are they “biased, twisted, and distorted,” and how are our activities “developed” and “developed in a welfare and cultural manner”?
and how our activities “contribute to the quality of welfare and culture,” and “how they relate to the ideology and power of culture, gender perspectives and
and its relationship to ideology, power, gender perspectives, and subcultures.
We need to examine the “contribution of culture to the improvement of welfare and cultural quality. What lies beyond that, and what we are trying to achieve, is “the idea of welfare culture as a pluralistic and symbiotic principle.
The realization of this idea is a “creative welfare culture society” (a society in which the individual is valued and
(A creative welfare culture society where the individual is valued, dreams and hopes are spun, creativity is abundant, and the creation of human happiness in the community is ensured.
(A society of creative welfare culture where individuals are valued, dreams and hopes are woven, creativity is abundant, and human happiness is maintained in the community. While keeping in mind what we are aiming for (our goals)
However, both the “welfare culture idea as a pluralistic and symbiotic principle” and the “creative welfare culture concept” are not the same as the “excellent welfare culture practice”.
However, we must not “focus too much on the pursuit of excellent welfare culture practices, and our eyes become too high and out of touch with reality,” even while keeping in mind our goals.
It goes without saying that we must not “focus too much on pursuing excellent welfare culture practices,” and thus become “too high-minded and detached from reality.

(4) Conclusion

　We cannot do more than we can handle. No matter how much we are moved and influenced, we cannot do the same thing as the person who moved us.
We cannot do the same things as those who have moved us, nor can we say the same things as those who have influenced us.
　The efforts that we have made in preparation will probably be unforgettable memories for all of us, and every word that is said there will be remembered in our hearts and minds.
Every word that was spoken there will sink deeply into our hearts and remain with us as a precious treasure. Treasures for me

-I will always treasure this experience.

　What is indispensable when considering welfare culture is the viewpoint of “community. （Welfare is the creation of happiness, and the “culturalization of welfare” is the key to happiness.
It is necessary to “culturalize welfare” and to “culturalize welfare”. (omitted) We need to work from the viewpoints of community, welfare, and culture.
(omission) With the perspectives of community, welfare, and culture, people should be able to do what they want to do when they want to do it, whether it is work, study, hobbies, or volunteer activities.
We need to create a culture of welfare together with our fellow citizens, by doing what we want to do, when we want to do it, and in the (various) ways that we can do it.
We need to create a culture of welfare together with our friends. The culturalization of welfare and the conversion of culture to welfare are the very things that make life worth living, and they also support the creation of a life worth living.
It is also support for the creation of a life worth living.

　I would like to summarize what has been said and written by the predecessors of the Japanese Society of Welfare and Culture, including former President Ichibanagase.
I would like to summarize what former President Ichibanase and other predecessors of the Japanese Society for Welfare Culture have said or described so far, and define “welfare culture” as “a culture where the individual is valued, where the dreams and hopes of each person are spun, and where creativity is abundant and continued in the community.
I define “welfare culture” as “a practical, humanistic, and community-based happiness creation that values the individual, weaves the dreams and hopes of each person, and is rich in creativity. We have tried to embody this definition.
The concept of “creative welfare culture” is an attempt to embody this definition, and to clarify the path to “creative welfare culture
The proposal to clarify the path to “creative welfare culture” (from impersonal non-welfare culture to exclusive immature welfare culture / discriminatory immature welfare culture to creative welfare culture) was proposed.
(Non-human, non-welfare culture → exclusive immature welfare culture / discriminatory immature welfare culture → creative welfare culture).
　There are a number of hurdles that must be overcome before a “creative welfare culture” can be achieved. Welfare culture” can be called a “negative legacy.
culture” was born out of a tragic historical background that could be called a “negative legacy,” and it is still being created through a process of repeated thought and error.
We must overcome these hurdles to reach a “creative welfare culture” with a new concept that we hope to be able to leave to future generations.
Naturally, there is a “past” to which we must turn. Naturally, there is a historical background of the creation of human society from the “past” to the “present.
Naturally, there is a historical background of the creation of human society from the “past” to the “present,” and there are things that are being created now. And there are also those that will be created in the future and will be passed on to the “future.
Some are being created today, and some will be created in the future and passed on to “the future.
　We hope that the quality of welfare culture will be improved, social participation will be promoted, and people in need of social support will be able to lead a life equal to that of other people.
We need to improve the quality of welfare culture and promote social participation so that those who need social support can lead a life equal to that of other people. To this end, everyone should be able to live in their own way as an active participant in community life.
The “quality of creative welfare culture activities” should be improved, and the “quality of creative welfare culture life” should be enriched.
and the “quality of creative welfare and cultural life” should be enriched and fulfilled.
　Finally, I would like to express my condolences once again and express my gratitude to former President Ichibanase for the many lessons and treasures he has given us.
I would like to conclude my keynote report by expressing my condolences once again and my gratitude to former President Ichibangase for his many lessons and treasures.

They have been connected with former President Yasuko Ichibanase since before that time.
Theoretical matters were discussed in the keynote report.
So, in this roundtable discussion, we will focus on what we have heard and seen in our contact with the former presidents.
The discussion focused on what I heard and saw in my contact with the past presidents of the association.
I hope that the roundtable discussion will highlight the various thoughts of the past president and how he lived his life.
I would like to highlight the various thoughts of the former president and how he lived his life.
　For the time being, I would like you to begin by introducing yourself one by one.
Mr. Osamu Kawabatake was born on July 16, 1989.
Mr. Osamu Kawabatake will speak about himself, including a brief introduction.
At that time, it was called the Japan Society of Welfare and Culture, and there was no “Japan” in the name.
At that time, it was called the Society of Welfare Culture, and there was no “Japan” in the name, but at the time of its establishment, he was working for NHK.
I understand that he was involved in welfare from a journalistic viewpoint at the time. From that perspective, I would like to ask you to speak first.
I would like to ask you to speak first from this perspective. Riji Sakurai is currently managing a special nursing home for the elderly, Sakura-en, as is the case today.
He has been managing Sakura-en, a special nursing home for the elderly, and I believe that he has been observing the conference from the viewpoint of the front line.
I believe that he has always had a front-line perspective on the conference. I would like to ask you to tell us a little bit about the early days of the society or the time when you first met him.
　Mr. Sekiya Sonoda was in the Japan Recreation Association at that time.
I am sure that you have heard various stories from the former president about the society and its activities in the field. And Chihiro Tada

I want to create a new wind in “welfare culture

Kawabatake Hello everyone, my name is Osamu Kawabatake. I am Osamu Kawabata.

I am very pleased to see some of you whom I have not seen for a long time, as well as some of the younger members who are new to the association.

I would like to express my gratitude to the current board members for providing us with this opportunity.

I would like to express my gratitude to the current board members for providing this opportunity.

　I served three terms as vice president from the early 1990s through the 2000s.

I served three terms as vice president from the early 1990s to the 2000s. The chairperson was Ms. Yasuko Ichibangase. Ms. Yasuko Ichibangase

Dr. Ichibangase passed away this September.
I was shocked by her death in September, and

and Dr. Ichibangase appeared in my dream. She must have left something deep in my heart.

I think that he must have left something deep in my heart.

　First of all, what comes to mind when I think of my memories of Dr. Ichibanagase is the following.

I think many of you have read this book, “Theory of Welfare Culture”.
The first edition of the book was published on March 20, 1997.

The first edition was published on March 20, 1997. I think it was around 1992 when I met Mr. Chiba, the editor of Yuhikaku, and myself at the Yamanoue Hotel in Ochanomizu.

Mr. Chiba, the editor of Yuhikaku, and I
We had a discussion. At that time, there were no books on “welfare culture” published at all.

I remember discussing directly with Dr. Ichibanagase about how to publish the book.

I remember discussing with Dr. Ichibanase directly about how to publish the book. I remember discussing with Dr. Ichibanase directly about how to publish the book.

I wrote the draft for now, and Dr. Ichibanase was going to assign the authors to the main authors.

I think that is what we decided to do. There are many authors in this hall, and this is how the “Welfare Culture Theory” was developed in the following years.

I believe that this book was the basis for the development of the “welfare culture theory” that followed. I believe that this is the book from which the “welfare culture theory” was developed in many ways.

I also wrote about welfare culture in the fields of daily life and religion.

I also wrote about welfare culture in the areas of daily life and religion. I also wrote about welfare culture in the areas of daily life and religion, etc. Reading over the whole book, I think it is still readable today.
I think I created an epoch-making book that can still be read today.

I believe that I have created an epoch-making book that can still be read today. I would like to begin by introducing myself and my memories of the book.

I would like to start by introducing myself and my memories of the book.

Shimada: Thank you very much. Now, Riji Sakurai, please give us a hand.

Sakurai Yes, I am Riji Sakurai. The position of the director of Sakuraen, a special nursing home for the elderly, was handed over to a younger person.
I have handed over the position of the director of Sakuraen, a special nursing home for the elderly, to a younger person.
My name is Sakurai. My first encounter with Dr. Ichibanagase was in a class at
I met Dr. Ichibanagase in a classroom at Japan Women’s University, where we were discussing the creation of a welfare culture society.
I was invited to a meeting where we were discussing the idea of creating a welfare culture society. I was invited to a meeting to discuss the idea of creating a society of welfare culture.
I think it was his father, Dr. Shinsuke Tada, who is here today, who asked me to join.
I think it was his father who approached me and said that he wanted to establish an academic society.
I think it was his father, Dr. Shinsuke Tada, who approached me and said that he wanted to form an academic society. Just by hearing the word “academic society,” I was inspired by the words of former Vice President Sakurai and former Vice President Kawabatake.

I had only field experience, so I had a strong impression that it was very academic.

I was like, “Is it okay for me to participate in this? That is how the conversation started, as I recall. At that time
I remember that our conversation started with such a question. No, it’s the field. If the field doesn’t change, the world won’t change.
If the field doesn’t change, the whole world won’t change. I wonder if you could call it a message from the frontline. I guess you could say that something is transmitted from the field, something that comes from experience, something like that.
Without it, we will never be able to gain real power.
Without it, we will never be able to gain real power. I was encouraged by his words.
If that is the case, then I would like to ask what is the problem based on what I am doing in the field and the current situation of the people living in the facility.
I have been thinking about what is the problem, what we should do, and where we should look for a way out.
I thought that it would be good if I could participate in this project.
I wondered if I would be able to participate in such a meeting, and although I sincerely doubted whether I would be able to fulfill the duties, I was appointed as the vice president.
I was not sure if I would be able to handle the responsibility, but I became the vice president.
　In fact, when I was 44 years old, I quit my job and started my career in the field of nursing care, establishing a special nursing home for the elderly.
I was 44 years old when I quit my job and started my career in the world of nursing care, founding a nursing home. Looking back on it now, about 10 years ago, when I was a salaried worker, I read an article in a general magazine that said, “The most important thing is that we are a nursing home.
About 10 years ago, when I was working as a salaried worker, I read an article in a general magazine in which Dr. Ichibanagase was working with housewives in Suginami who were facing various problems and difficulties in their lives.
He would bring a handful of rice to those who had various problems and difficulties in their daily lives.
I read about this in a general magazine. When I read this in a general magazine, I was deeply moved.
I think that is what sparked my interest in the field of welfare.
I still have an interest in the field of welfare. I think that Mr. Ichibanagase guided me to a way of life, or rather, a choice.
I will talk about this later, but I think it is the person who guided me to the way of life or the choices I make. I will talk about this later.
I will talk about this later, but I had a feeling that Dr. Ichibanagase was like a shining silver ridge in the distance, very far away from us. As I mentioned earlier
As I mentioned earlier, this conference was to start on July 16, 1989.
I am very happy to be able to be in close contact with you.
I am very happy that I have been able to be in close contact with this society. I am also very happy that this society, which started more than 20 years ago
I am very happy that we have been able to start this conference on July 16, 1989, and that we have been able to be so close to each other.
I feel that your passion for human beings is the starting point of the society’s continuous development.

Shimada: Thank you very much. Next, Mr. Sekiya Sonoda, please continue.

Sonoda My name is Sekiya Sonoda. I would like to share with Chairman Kawatoda what I have written on my own so far.
I am very much impressed that Chairman Kawatoda quoted from what I have written on my own.
I am very pleased to hear Chairman Kawatoda quote from what I have written so far, and I think a creative welfare culture is very good.
　The first time I met Dr. Ichibanase was 40 years ago, probably in the fall of 1972.
I first met Dr. Ichibanase 40 years ago, probably in the fall of 1972. As you know, I have been working in the field of recreation, leisure and play for many years.
I had been working in the field of recreation or leisure and play for a long time. At the time, the Japan Recreation Association
At that time, the Japan Recreation Association held its annual convention in Tokyo.
The report of the conference is here.
The symposium was entitled “The Role of Recreation in the Construction of a Welfare Society. Here is the report of the symposium.

At the time, Dr. Ichibangase was very active in the area of social welfare and often appeared in the mass media.
I thought he was the right person for the job as a planner, so I jumped at the chance to work with him and asked him to be a lecturer.
He was very young! He was 45 years old at the time. He was 45 years old at the time. He was 45 years old at the time, but my impression was that he was not that young.
(Everyone laughed). (Everyone laughed).
　I have known him for a long time, but I never felt his femininity.
I think it would have been better if he had been a little more feminine. Anyway, he was an up-and-coming social welfare researcher and had a sharp atmosphere.
She was an up-and-coming social welfare researcher, and had a sharp atmosphere. But even at that time, I felt that she was out of the narrow world of welfare.
I was a newcomer to the field of social welfare, and he had a sharp atmosphere. In other words, welfare is based on the economy, and the welfare system is established and implemented.
He was very much concerned about the non-economic aspect of welfare, and he said that we had to build the heart as well as the facilities.
He also talked about the cultural concept of welfare that we have to create the heart as well as the facilities. He also spoke about the leisure activities that we discussed at the symposium.
He also talked about the Charter for Leisure, Charter for Leisure, which we discussed at the symposium, and the Charter for Leisure.
Charter forLeisure, which we discussed at the symposium.)
The Charter for Leisure, which we discussed at the symposium, was born out of the global recreation movement, and the idea that leisure time is the foundation of human rights.
He was very impressed by this idea that leisure time is the foundation of human rights. About 10 years later, when the Open University of Japan was established, he said, “Leisure is the foundation of human rights.
About 10 years later, when the Open University of Japan was established, he created a course called “Leisure Life. This was very rare, wasn’t it? At that time, there were no such courses in universities.
At that time, there were almost no courses on leisure time at universities, but the Open University of Japan had “Leisure Life” from the very beginning.
And it was radio at first. I also assisted in the transition from radio to TV in 1989.
In 1989, I assisted in the transition to television.
Two or three years ago, I started to work with them.
For a couple of years before that, we started making videos of Leisure Life together. It was quite interesting.
We went to a resort in Tomamu, Hokkaido, for example, and did some location shooting. There was a part of the video where the teacher and I had a discussion and the conversation progressed.
I often used it in class. When I show the video of those days, the students
I often used this video in class. Because I was so young. It was that long ago. It was more about leisure and recreation than welfare.
When the Social Workers and Care Workers Act was enacted in 1987, the “Recreation Leadership Act” was introduced into the curriculum.
When the Social Worker and Care Worker Act was enacted in 1987, “Recreation Instruction” was included in the curriculum.
In other words, recreation was recognized in the welfare world. In other words, recreation was recognized in the welfare world. At that time, you and I worked together to create textbooks and other materials.
I worked with him on textbooks and other projects. One day, while we were working together in the recreation field, he said to me, “I’m going to start a welfare culture society, and I’d like you to help me.
I am going to establish a welfare culture society, and you are going to help me. And I said, “Yes. So I got involved with the Welfare Culture Society.
I was involved with the Welfare Culture Association.
　What I would like to say here is that I believe that the origin of welfare is the joy of human life, such as leisure time, recreation, and play.
I would like to say here that from the very beginning, you had the attitude that the joy of human life, such as leisure, recreation, and play, was the starting point of welfare, and I
I felt empathy with this attitude, and that’s why I worked with him. I would like to say this for the time being.
I would like to say that for the time being.

Shimada: Thank you very much. Now, lastly, Chihiro Tada, please.

Tada: I think that Dr. Ichigase and my father were more like colleagues in the movement than in a research exchange.
I think that Dr. Ichibangase and my father were more like comrades in the movement than a research exchange. As you all know, Dr. Ichibangase had a lot of experience in various fields, from women’s issues to childcare, from welfare for the handicapped to welfare for the elderly.
As you all know, Dr. Ichibangase is at the forefront as a comprehensive welfare scholar with a wide range of fields, from women’s issues to childcare, from welfare for the disabled to welfare for the elderly.

-As you all know, he was at the forefront as a comprehensive welfare scholar with a wide range of fields from women’s issues to childcare, from welfare for the disabled to welfare for the elderly.

As you all know, I have a wide range of issues from women’s issues to childcare, from the handicapped to the elderly.
I think he had a broad range of contacts and contacts with all kinds of people.
　The Institute for Art Education, a private institute established by my father, was founded about 50 years ago.
Dr. Ichibanase was also a big supporter of the institute.
Dr. Ichibanase was also a big supporter. At the time of its establishment, my father did not have any money, and I think it was hard for him to do it as a private company.
I am sure it was hard for my father to do it as a private company, but the starting point of the institute was to rent a room at Futaba Nursery School.
The starting point of the institute was to borrow a room at Futaba Nursery School. The Futaba Nursery School started out as a kindergarten.
The institute started out as a kindergarten, and was led by Ms. Yuka Noguchi, a teacher at a kindergarten affiliated with Gakushuin at the time.
The nursery started as a kindergarten, but was opened under the leadership of Ms. Yuka Noguchi, a teacher at a kindergarten attached to Gakushuin. Mr. Noguchi was a member of the elite of the Meiji Era.
She was an elite of the Meiji era. She was always passing through the slums on her way to work.
Gradually, her way of thinking began to change drastically. She began to think that the children who really needed early childhood education were the children of the study institute where she worked.
really need early childhood education is not the children at the study institute where she works, but the children in this slum. I began to think that the children who really needed early childhood education were not the children of the study center where I worked, but the children of this slum.
I left the school. He then established Futaba Kindergarten in the slum, which later became Futaba Nursery School.
Later, it became Futaba Nursery School. The Art Education Research Institute rented a room free of charge and established the institute there.
This was actually a barter contract. This was actually a barter contract.
The agreement was a barter contract with the director of Futaba Nursery School, who promised to provide the children of Futaba Nursery School with the results of our research on painting, modeling, music, etc.
The headmaster of Futaba Nursery School and I had a contract. The director of Futaba Nursery School was Mr. Jo Tokunaga, who later became an honorary resident of Tokyo.
　As a social welfare scholar, Dr. Ichibangase was very interested in the history of Futaba Nursery School and how he got involved with it.
He also seemed to be very interested in the history of Futaba Nursery School and how it came to be involved in the project.
　Now, for the first time in a long while, Dr. Ichibangase came to the institute to discuss a matter with us.
I was only 27 years old. I was only 27 years old when I met Dr. Ichibangase for the first time, and he began to talk strongly to my father and me.
He began to speak powerfully to my father and me. I want to create a new wind in the world of welfare. I want to change the rigid world of welfare.
I want to change the rigid world of welfare. I have been the president of many different academic societies, but nothing has changed. No matter how long it takes
I have been the president of many societies, but nothing has changed. In order to change this image, we have to create a new wind.
In order to change this, we have to create a new wind. He also said, “We have to create a new wind to change this image. And the driving force for this change is “the desire to make the world a better place.
The driving force behind this was a word I had never heard before: “welfare culture. It has already been 24 years since then.
In fact, Dr. Ichibanase was initially opposed to the creation of an academic society.
He was a bit disappointed with the academic society, or perhaps he thought it would be difficult to create a new style in the academic society.
I guess he thought that it would be difficult to create a new style in the academic society. I think that he thought it would be difficult to create a new style in the society.
I think that the first thing Dr. Ichibangase said was that he thought it would be difficult to create a new style. He wanted to create an atmosphere of civic activities, attract a variety of private citizens, and promote the event in an energetic manner.
He seemed to want to create an atmosphere of civic activity, draw in various private citizens, and promote it in an energetic manner. However, my father and other private
However, my father and other private citizens seemed to have a faint longing for the Society, which led to a 180 degree turnaround in his thinking and resulted in the Society being cut off from its start as an “academic society.
The fact of the matter is that the doctor’s idea was changed 180 degrees and the society was started as an “academic society”.
　In order to establish the society, Dr. Ichibanase gave me a homework assignment: “What is the future of welfare? He said, “The future of welfare is not only for welfare professionals, but also for those who have a specialty in the field.
The future of welfare is not an era in which only specialists in the field of welfare are expected to work as if they have a patent.
The key to the future of welfare is not to have welfare specialists alone as a monopoly, but to attract specialists other than welfare professionals. We need 50 non-welfare specialists.

Mr. Tada, former Executive Director

The first time, he said, “I want you to gather 50 specialists other than social workers. On the other hand, Dr. Ichibanase decided to gather 50 welfare specialists and hold a 100-person conference at the Naruse Memorial Auditorium at Japan Women’s University.
I did not understand the intention at first.
　At first, I did not understand the intention. I asked him about it, but perhaps it was his personality.
I asked him about many things, but perhaps it was his character, he did not give me many details. He just said, “I don’t care who you think would be good for you.
I was not sure if he was a musician or a fashion designer, but I could not help it. So, I had no choice but to ask him about musicians, fashion designers, children’s literature writers, and all kinds of other people.
I invited musicians, fashion designers, children’s literature writers, and all kinds of people, and gathered 50 people together. Mr. Ichibanase invited people from the Council of Social Welfare, the Home for the Elderly, and others.
He recruited people from a wide range of personal connections, including people from the Social Welfare Council, the head of a nursing home, and a welfare researcher at a university.
He recruited people with a wide range of personal connections, such as people from social welfare councils, nursing home directors, and university welfare researchers.
　The first job he did was to recruit personnel. I am the first one to say it, so I took the responsibility.
I’m the one who started it all, so I’ll take responsibility and be the chairman for the time being. He then added, “The vice president is
I have already decided on two people to be vice presidents.
I already have two people in mind for the vice presidency. He said, “I already have two people in mind for the vice presidency. One is not a researcher.
one of them is a field
one was a person in the field, and one was a specialist outside of welfare.
one was an expert in the field, and the other was a non-welfare specialist. Mr. Sonoda was the one who was selected. At the time, he was a senior researcher at the Japan Recreation Association.
I think he was a senior researcher at the Japan Recreation Association at the time. He was also a member of the “Special Nursing Home for the Elderly,” which had been creating a new style since then.
Mr. Sakurai was the director of Sakura-en, a special nursing home for the elderly that was creating a new style of life at that time. So, I immediately asked him and Mr. Sakurai for the vice president’s appointment.
I went to them to ask them for the position of vice president. Mr. Sakurai had a large dog in the nursing home.
Mr. Sakurai was aiming for a new type of welfare facility.
Mr. Sakurai was aiming for a new type of welfare facility. Mr. Sonoda, who was also making efforts to research “leisure life” and to train human resources at the time, was very interested in the welfare of the elderly.
When I called Ms. Sonoda, who was also focusing on “leisure life” research and human resource development at the time, she said, “I am very happy to hear from you.

Thoughts on “welfare culture” that transcend the social welfare world

Shimada: Yes. Thank you very much. That was just a self-introduction. (All laugh)
　
In the speeches of the four speakers, key words that former Chairman Ichibanase
(All laugh) In the speeches of the four speakers, there were key words that former Chairman Ichigase valued. These keywords are the field, daily life, private citizens, or welfare.
life, private citizens, or specialists other than welfare.
It could be the field, people’s daily lives, private citizens, or specialists other than welfare workers. Of course, this is based on the premise that welfare specialists are also important.
It is based on the premise that welfare specialists are also important. I was asked to participate in a seminar at a later point in time.
I felt that the seminar was a good opportunity for me to meet and eat with the participants, and to learn from them.

I felt that the time I spent eating, drinking, and chatting with the participants, as well as the time spent by Vice President Shimada and the other participants, was very valuable.

-Mr. Shimada
118
-I also valued the time to eat, drink, and chat with the participants.

I also felt that the time spent eating, drinking, and chatting with the participants was very important.
　From this point on, I would like to talk about what the former president said or did. What kind of things do you think are important and what kind of actions do you take?
I would like to introduce his philosophy and way of life, focusing on what he cherished and how he acted.
I would be very happy if you could share with us your thoughts and way of life.
　Since this is a round-table discussion, we would like to keep the order of the participants.
I have heard that there are some episodes of drinking, so I would like to start with you, Mr. Kawabatake.

Mr. Kawabatake, we all know that you are fond of sake. At the memorial service at Chinzan-so the other day, we had a sake reception.
We offered a toast with sake at the memorial service at Chinzan-so the other day. Dr. Tabata of Japan Women’s University was the representative promoter.
I believe that Dr. Ichigase’s favorite alcoholic beverage was sake, so much so that he offered a toast with sake.
I was a close friend of Dr. Ichibanagase.
　I became acquainted with Dr. Ichibanagase in the early 90’s. In fact, we worked together for the opening of Aichi Mizuho University in Aichi Prefecture.
I was meeting with various people for the opening of Aichi Mizuho University in Aichi Prefecture. There are many connections in the world of social welfare.
There are many mountains in the world of social welfare. Ichiban-gase mountain range was one of them.
Ichiban-gase mountain range was one of the mountain ranges. I visited Dr. Ichiban-gase at Japan Women’s University.
When I visited Dr. Ichibangase at Japan Women’s University, he was very pleased. He said, “Well then, come back next week. Next week, let’s have a drink and talk.
Let’s talk over a drink next week. He said, “Come next week. I was already thinking of Ichiban-gase-sensei
and Dr. Ichibangase.
I thought we were going to have a drink together next week. So, we went to Isande, and I guided him to a Japanese restaurant in the back of Japan Women’s University.
I was guided to a neat Japanese restaurant in the back of Japan Women’s University. Unfortunately, there was another
Unfortunately, there was another woman there (laugh).
Unfortunately, there was another woman there (laugh), and the three of us had to work together.
Unfortunately, there was another woman there (laugh), and the three of us talked about how to build a university for the coming aging society.
　We had a very good discussion with Dr. Ichibanase about the aging society. The book that came out of those discussions is actually called “The Heart of Welfare.
This book is actually titled “The Heart of Welfare. This book was written by Dr. Ichibangase for high school students.
I would like to read a few words he wrote at the end of the book.
　In the 21st century, Japan is facing a major challenge of how to promote welfare as well as peace.
I think that the major issue for Japan in the 21st century is how to promote welfare as well as peace. I also believe that improving welfare will lead to a deepening of the desire for peace.
I believe that the enhancement of welfare will lead to a deepening of the desire for peace. Therefore, I would like to ask you young people (I am talking about the readers here) to think about what you could have done in our time and what is still missing.
I wrote this book to tell you, the young people (I mean you, the readers), what we could have done in our time, and what is still missing.” That is why I wrote this book.
This is a relatively easy book.
　This is a relatively easy book. This book is published by Shunposha, a company that publishes the works of Ichiban-gase Sensei.
This book is published by JUNPOSHA, a company that publishes the works of Ichibangase Sensei. Dr. Ichibangase talked a lot about the future of welfare while drinking.
I have often talked with Dr. Ichibanagase about the future of welfare. After that, I often sat around the table with Dr. Ichibangase.
I often sat around the table with Ichibangase Sensei after that. In fact, I once asked him to write my autobiography at such a table. Unfortunately
Unfortunately, Dr. Ichibanagase has not written his own history. In this book, he writes about his girlhood, his riding
and horses, and his relationship with horses, and his love of movies when he was a freshman in college.
In her first year of college, she loved movies so much that she often skipped school to go to the movies.
and so on. Although the book is intended for high school students, it is also very autobiographical.
I think this is an autobiography. When I said, “This is an autobiography,” he said, “No, this is not an autobiography yet.
I said, “No, this is not an autobiography yet. (Laughs) He said, “No, this is not an autobiography yet. The truth is, I have more things I want to write down in my life.

-Mr.
119
119 – 119

I think that is why he said that it is not an autobiography. I think he said that he would like to write his own history at some point in the future.
I think he said that it is not an autobiography. This is because personal histories were very popular from the 1990s to the 2000s.
He highly recommended it as a form of self-realization.
He was also such a person. He was also that kind of person. It is truly unfortunate that Mr. Ichibangase passed away without leaving behind an autobiography or personal history.
It is really a pity that he passed away without leaving an autobiography or personal history.
I wish I had heard more about him.

Shimada: Mr. Sonoda. Yes, please go ahead.

Sonoda: In relation to alcohol, I would like to introduce a couple of things about Dr. Ichibangase’s drinking habits. I would like to introduce a couple of things about Dr. Ichikanase’s drinking habits.
I am sure that many of you have had the opportunity to drink with him at social gatherings. He went to Asia two or three times.
China, Korea, and Mongolia. China, Korea, and Mongolia. Wherever we went, there was always a banquet.
I would make a toast with the great people of the other side, and since Dr. Ichibanase is the head of this group, we would make a toast. This toast is made with the great people of the other side, and this one is headed by Dr. Ichibanase.
In China, you have to show each other how much you have to drink. You have to drink all of it and show the cups.
They had to drink all of it and show their cups to each other. We never lost in such a situation, did we? (Everyone laughed).
　(Everyone laughed) As a chairman, I was always ready to go toe-to-toe with the chairman of the other party and never back down. Especially when we went to Mongolia.
In Mongolia, there is a mysterious liquor called “horse milk wine.
If you drink it badly, you get diarrhea. It causes diarrhea. If you drink it badly, it causes diarrhea. I don’t know what happened to him after that.
I don’t know. I couldn’t ask him that. Anyway, he liked to drink. If we interpret this in terms of welfare culture, the culture of drinking is the culture of men in Japan.
In Japan, the culture of drinking is a male culture. In the past. In the past.
It is amazing that women of Ms. Ichigase’s generation can drink alcohol on an equal footing with men. In other words, it is a great achievement for a woman of Ms. Ichibanase’s generation
In other words, they embodied the culture of men. In fact, women can drink as well. I think women are actually stronger than men.
I think women are actually stronger than men. But women are not supposed to drink. This is what culture is all about.
This is what culture is all about. It may not be that he was trying to destroy the sake culture in Japan… (laughs).
Maybe she was just a sake lover. (laugh) Maybe he just loved sake, but I think you can see his attitude in that.
But I think that’s where you can see his attitude. And now, Mr. Kawabatake mentioned about your autobiography.
Mr. Kawabatake mentioned his autobiography, and I would like to ask you about it.

Tada: The 16-volume “Welfare Culture Library” published by Chuohoki Publishing is the first publication by the Society for Welfare Culture.
The first volume, Volume 1, “Pioneering Welfare,” was published by the Japan Welfare Culture Association.
The title of the first volume, “Pioneering Welfare, Creating Culture,” was copywritten by Dr. Ichibanagase himself.
The title of the first volume, “Pioneering Welfare and Creating Culture,” was copywritten by Dr. Ichibanase himself.
If you open the book to page 35, you will find the following picture of Dr. Ichibangase at the age of 5.
I remember very well.
I remember well that he strongly insisted that the name “Taku” should be a pioneer, not an opening and closing “Taku”.
I remember very well that she strongly insisted on “Taku” as a pioneer.
There is also a picture of her as a matron at Kanegafuchi Spinning Co. Although she certainly did not write her autobiography
Although she did not write her autobiography, she would sometimes disclose information in small glimpses. For example, in the Shinkansen train, or on the plane.
He would sometimes disclose interesting episodes, for example, in the train of the Shinkansen or in the plane of an airplane.

　For example, one of the most interesting stories I heard was that he was married to Yukio Mishima. This was
everyone wanted to ask, but they were too scared to ask. What I was too afraid to ask, the secretary-general told me, “You ask.
So I took the plunge and asked him. I was told, “That’s not a lie.
I was afraid to ask, so I took the plunge and asked. He said, “That’s not a lie. Yukio Mishima’s father and Mr. Ichibanagase’s father were acquaintances, and he told me, “Your daughter was given to me.
I got your daughter. They had a talk like this when they were drinking. But he said, “I hate that kind of man.
I hate that man. He also said that he was a good friend of Kanegafuchi Spinning Co. She also told a powerful story about when she became a matron at Kanegafuchi Spinning Co.
I also heard a powerful story about when she became a matron at Kanegafuchi Spinning. This was a turning point in Ichibanagase Sensei’s life and a very significant fact.
This was a turning point in Ichibanagase Sensei’s life. Kanegafuchi, now Kanebo, wanted a talented woman from Japan Women’s University to become a matron, even if she was a corporate matron.
Kanegafuchi, now Kanebo, is looking for a talented woman from Japan Women’s University to become a dorm mother. Japan Women’s University had its eye on Ms. Ichibanagase.
At that time, Dr. Ichibanagase was already living in Sasebo, Kyushu. At that time, she was already a school teacher in Sasebo, Kyushu.
At that time, he was already a school teacher in Sasebo, Kyushu, but he resigned from that position and went to a spinning factory in Kanegafuchi. He was a school teacher in Sasebo, Kyushu, at the time.
The female workers there gave me an education course. She was very active in giving education classes, picnics, recreation, and other activities to the female workers there.
In fact, he met the expectations too much and overdid it.
But in fact, they have gone too far and overdone it. But in fact, they have gone too far in meeting expectations. But in fact, he went too far and overdid it.
The personnel manager of Kanegafuchi Spinning at that time told him that he was fired. The head of the personnel department
This episode is also written in an economic novel written by Saburo Shiroyama.
This episode has been preserved in Saburo Shiroyama’s economic novels. In the novel, it is written that Mr. Ichigase was in love with the personnel manager who made the harsh decision.
In the novel, it is written that Mr. Ichibangase was in love with the personnel manager who handed down the harsh decision. Saburo Shiroyama took the liberty of writing it in a funny way.
Saburo Shiroyama wrote it in a funny way. He said with a straight face, “That’s not true. The conversation is going in a strange direction, so let’s stop here.
Let’s stop here.

Shimada: How about you, Mr. Sakurai?

Sakurai: This may be a bit of an episode. In my facility, there were animals in the room.
I was in a facility that had animals in it. It was called “human-animal bond” and came to Japan in 1984.
It came to Japan in 1984. In my facility, there was a Labrador retriever. The doctor came to Sakuraen twice.
I had a chance to see him twice.
I had a chance to see the animals at Sakuraen on two occasions. I don’t know if it was because he saw the animals at Sakuraen or not, but he was very interested in the Labrador Retriever.
I don’t know if it was because he saw the animals at Sakura-en or not, but he had a black Labrador retriever weighing more than 20 kilograms at his house in Denenchofu. I don’t know if he knew it or not.
I think he wanted to keep animals close to him. Soon, however, the dog became a bit unruly (laughs).
I was very busy and the dog was too big for me. I was very busy and the dog was large.

Rin Rin Rin

I was very busy and the dog was a big one, so I had to take it for a walk every day.
an hour or more a day.
He was a very energetic male, so I had to walk him for more than an hour a day. He was a very energetic male.
He was already physically very vigorous. So I think he became very unmanageable. So I went there and took him in.
I went there and took him in. She stayed at Sakuraen for a while, but she was really energetic and full of personality.
She was really energetic and full of personality. After that, she went to a friend of mine who really wanted her. She was very well taken care of there.
She was loved very much there.
　Another thing that came up was that he didn’t feel like a woman. I had to push him.

-Hi.
121
-I think it is also true that he was

I think it’s also true that he was a woman. I sometimes saw that she often wore clothes tailored from kimono fabrics.
I sometimes saw that she often wore them. I think she was very fashionable and had a very good sense of style.
I think she was very fashionable and had a very good sense of style.

　It seems he was friends with the principal of a school in Tokyo that teaches beauty. She introduced me to him.
He introduced me to him. He introduced me to a person who was a friend of the principal of a school that teaches beauty in Tokyo.
I was surprised when he suggested that we should not only do make-up, but also do a kimono fashion show for the old people.
I was surprised at that time. The idea of a kimono fashion show was also full of surprises. The idea of a kimono fashion show was also full of surprises.
There were also a number of people from Kyoto who were studying kimono dressing. Then, a fashion show combining makeup and kimono dressing came to fruition.
The fashion show was realized by combining make-up and kimono dressing. And then, an 84 year old woman wore a furisode (long-sleeved kimono).
It was really a woman standing on the stage of the big day, and she was escorted by the young staff members.
She was escorted out on stage by a young staff member. I saw that side of her.
As mentioned earlier by Mr. Baba and Mr. Kawatoda, I want each person to live and thrive.
I saw that aspect of the young staff members.
I think it led to fashion, make-up, kimono, and fashion shows. I think that is what led to the fashion show. In that aspect, you yourself love fashion.
I think that is what led to fashion, makeup, kimonos, and fashion shows. I wonder if it was because you also loved fashion and beauty.
I wonder if it was because she loved beautiful things.

I would love to see the life of Mr. Ichibanagase in a book!

Kawabatake: I remember something about Kanegafuchi Spinning. It was a factory in Maruko, Nagano Prefecture.
It was about a man who was the section chief, as I felt at the time. That man later became the president of Kanebo
He later became the president of Kanebo, and then the president of Japan Airlines. Mr. Ichibanagase was a teacher at a night school in Maruko.
He was a teacher at a night school in Maruko and interacted with female workers in various ways.
　By the way, at the memorial service at Chinzan-so the other day, the only music that was played was “Azami no Uta” (Song of the Thistle).
The only music that was played at the memorial service at Chinzan-so was “Azami no Uta”. Thistle Song” was a popular song in 1948. I was in my twenties at the time.
Mr. Ichibanagase, who was in his twenties at the time, was very impressed and moved by the thistle song.
　Eventually
I am sure that a book like “Shoden Ichibangase Yasuko” will be published in the near future.
I am sure that a book like “Shoden Ichibangase Yasuko” will be published in 10 years or even more. I wonder if there are any of you who would like to try your hand at writing a biography of Ms. Ichibangase.
I am already 77 years old. I am 77 years old now, so I am not able to do that kind of work.
I am 77 years old now, so I am not able to do that kind of work.
I am 77 years old now, so I can’t do that kind of work.
I am 77 years old now, so I cannot do that kind of work.
I hope that you will collect materials for five or six years and compile the life of Yasuko Ichigase into a book. I would like to see the third part of the book to be written about Yasuko Ichigase’s life from her 60s to 70s.
I think that welfare culture will be a major theme in the third part of the book.
I hope to see a book on social welfare culture in the third part of the book. I would like to see you continue to study social welfare for a long time, and I would like to see you share your thoughts on the world of social welfare researchers with the world of social welfare.
He has been a social welfare researcher for a long time.
He has been a social welfare researcher for a long time, and he has expressed one sense of disappointment in the world of social welfare researchers. He said, “Research on policies and systems is very important, but it is not the only thing that is important for welfare.
However, people in welfare-related fields do not mix well with people in other fields.
I think that this must have been very frustrating for Dr. Ichibanagase.

-I think this must have been very frustrating for Dr. Ichigase.
122
-I think this must have been very frustrating for Dr. Ichikanase.

I believe that this was a frustrating experience for Dr. Ichigase. I believe that this thought led him to the Japan Welfare Culture Association and welfare culture, which became a major theme in his later years.
I believe that this thought became the theme of the Society for Welfare Culture or welfare culture, and became a major theme of his later years.

Shimada: Mr. Sonoda, please go ahead.

Sonoda Since we are talking about biographies, I think it would be interesting if someone would write a book titled “The Life of Yasuko Ichibanase,” like Hanako Kiryuin.
I think it would be interesting if someone would write a biography of Yasuko Ichibangase, something like “Hanako Oniryuin”. From an objective point of view, Ms. Ichibangase is an upper class person.
I think it would be interesting to write a book about her life. He was a high-ranking official in Taiwan. Yukio Mishima’s father was also a high-level bureaucrat.
So there was such a story. In other words, what kind of life style did the daughters of upper class Japanese of the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras lead?
In other words, the story is about how the daughters of Japan’s upper class in the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods lived. Because they were upper class, they were well educated.
They went to women’s colleges. I think they were quite tomboyish. As I mentioned earlier, I showed you a picture of her riding a horse.
When I visited Mongolia, I was told that the same thing happened with horse milk wine.
When I went to Mongolia, I heard people say, “I want to ride a horse. I want to ride a horse. So we rode horses together. Mongolian horses are short.
Mongolian horses are short, so they are easy to ride even if your legs are short like mine. Ichibanase Sensei was able to ride with me.
He was riding on his horse and he was like, “I used to be a horse rider for a while. I used to ride horses for a while. She seemed to be having a lot of fun.
She seemed to be having a lot of fun. She was such a tomboy who did many things, including sports, and I learned about it for the first time when I heard about it now.
She was a tomboy who did a lot of things including sports, and after joining Kanebo, she became aware of social justice.
She was a strong advocate for social justice, and this was the driving force behind her career in the welfare sector.
　I am sure there are more interesting stories from that period of the war, when you were in your 30s or so.
I was originally a literature student and was familiar with nonfiction, so if I were a little younger, I would write about it in an interesting way.
If I were a little younger, I would write about it in an interesting way. But since that is no longer possible, I hope that you will all carry on the tradition.
I hope that you will all carry on the tradition. I would like you all to carry on his work.
I believe that the future of welfare culture research is not unrelated to the way of life of Mr. Ichibanagase. I hope that you will pursue this as one of your themes.
I would like to see you pursue this as a theme.

Tada: On a related note, may I add two points?
Tada May I add two more points? Considering the job hunting of today’s students
I was once asked why I applied to become a matron at Kanegafuchi Boseki.
I once asked her why she applied to become a matron at Kanegafuchi Boseki. The teacher said, “I wanted to study.” I wanted to study.
I wanted to study. In her life, learning in various environments was a kind of “lifelong learning” that was unique to Ms. Ichibanagase.
I strongly feel that learning in various environments in Mr. Ichibangase’s life was like a backbone of his unique “life-long learning. She became a matron in order to earn an income.
I strongly feel that she did not become a matron in order to earn money, but rather she jumped into Kanegafuchi because she wanted to study as a lifelong learning experience.
I think that she jumped into Kanegafuchi because she wanted to study as a life-long learning experience.
Secondly, when Ms. Sakurai said that she was actually fashionable, it kind of hit me.
I was a bit surprised when Mr. Sakurai told me that he was actually a fashionable person. He told me about the first time he appeared on NHK’s welfare program.
She once told me a story about the first time she appeared on NHK’s welfare program. She told me that since it was her first time to appear on TV, she thought it would be appropriate for a woman to dress up a little.
She wore a necklace and said that since it was her first time to appear on TV, she wanted to appear in a little fashion. She was wearing a necklace.
After the program was over, NHK received five or six complaint calls.
After the program was over, NHK received five or six phone calls with complaints.

-I was very surprised.
123
123 – 124

“What’s going on with that researcher? and, “He’s trying to do welfare, but he was dressed up.” I guess that was the complaint.

I guess he was a dynamic type of person who didn’t care much. I thought he was a dynamic type who didn’t care much, but I got the feeling that he might have been a bit traumatized.

I had a feeling that he might have been a bit traumatized.

　Why can’t you be fashionable if you want to work in welfare? Why can’t you smile with a big belly when you work in welfare?

Why can’t you tell a joke? Why can’t I tell even one joke? These traumas and various stresses were

I think that these traumas and various stresses had accumulated in his stomach, and the “Welfare Culture Association” was the energy to release them.

I can’t help but think that the “Welfare Culture Association” was the energy that dissipated the trauma.

Shimada: I wonder if those who do not know Mr. Ichibangase directly have been able to get a better picture of his personality.
It seems that he had many sides to him. He seems to have many aspects to his personality.
I believe that he had various thoughts, such as valuing life and living from such a point of view, and having anti-authority ideas.
I think that there were various ways of thinking. Going back to the original point, the flexibility of the idea to come up with something like a kimono fashion show.
I would like to go back to the flexibility of the idea of coming up with something like a kimono fashion show. It is also a very flexible idea not to be confined to the narrow confines of welfare.
I think it was the flexibility of his ideas, or perhaps it was the flexibility of his personality.
I think that was part of your background.
I was just talking about this earlier.

Sakurai: As I mentioned earlier, there was an opportunity for a doctor to come to the facility and talk with us in the director’s office.
I had a chance to talk with him in the director’s office. If I remember correctly, we were sitting by the window looking out at the scenery.
If I remember correctly, we were sitting by the window looking out at the view, and it was shortly after the start of the Welfare and Culture Society. At that time, Japan’s economy was at its peak and social awareness was very high.
I think it was a time when the Japanese economy was at its peak and social awareness was very high. Then the bubble economy burst, and we entered the lost 20 years.
I think it was just before that time. I think it was just before the bubble burst.
I was very excited to talk with him at the window.
It was a very exciting and moving day for me. If I am not mistaken, “Churchill of England said….
If I remember correctly, you said, “Churchill said that in the UK. If I remember correctly, he said, “Churchill said that in England. I remember that there are a lot of elderly people here.
There are many elderly people here, aren’t there? If each and every one of them is not happy, it is not a real welfare state.
If each and every one of them is not happy, it is not a true welfare state. So, what should we do for each and every person living in the nursing home? That is why I felt very strongly about the situation of each and every person living in the nursing home.
I strongly felt that he was very concerned about how each person living in the nursing home was doing now. At that time, diapers were generally being removed or people were being separated from their beds.
At that time, people were concerned about how diapers were being removed, how people were leaving their beds, and how their hair was cut at the facility. Grandma’s hair was cut short.
I was very much concerned about how to care for my grandmother. They wanted to make it easier to take care of her hair. When you see so many people like that, it must have been hard for you.
I think it must have been hard for the teachers to see that. He thought, “This is not the way it should be. He thought that women should be more like women. She must have had a strong feeling that women should be more like women.
I remember that he must have had a strong feeling that women should be more like women.
　Before and after that, I heard the professor say, “People who have studied welfare alone cannot make a difference in the field.
People who have studied welfare alone can’t change the field. He also said something like, “People who have studied welfare alone cannot change the field. This is the point where the field, research and academia, and
I felt that he intended to promote friendly competition between the field, research and academia, and each other.
I felt that this was what he was trying to achieve.

-I felt that this was what he intended.

-124 – Shimada

Shimada: Please go ahead.

Tada: As the Executive Director, it was very difficult for me to have a meeting in a conference room or reception room.
So, we would have discussions in the car on the bullet train, or on the plane. So, we would have discussions in the Shinkansen train or on the plane.
We had meetings in the gaps between the work of Dr. Ichigase. What I still remember is that we would travel from Nagoya to Tokyo to meet with him.
I still remember the time when Dr. Ichibanagase and I had to return to Tokyo from Nagoya.
We couldn’t even get a reserved seat, so we just jumped on the train. He was in good health, but he was still over 70 years old.
I thought we had to get a place to sit, but he said, “In such a case, we should go to a buffet.
In that case, he said, “In such a case, you can go to the buffet. He said, “In this case, you can go to the buffet.
We both went to the buffet.
We both went to the buffet and Dr. Ichibanagase ordered a beer right away. I think that the buffet generally lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.
I think we stayed at the buffet for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then Ichibangase-sensei started his famous lecture. This was the same lecture that Mr. Baba, the former executive director of the
Mr. Baba, the former director-general of the welfare education department, mentioned that Mr. Ichibanagase pointed out that there is no history in the world of welfare education.
He focused on historical figures in the world of welfare education.
He focused on historical figures in the world of welfare.

It’s a history of welfare figures for two hours. I remember that he emphasized that there was no “history,” but that we had to focus especially on the “history of welfare personalities.
I remember that he emphasized the need to focus on the “history of welfare personalities,” even though there was no “history. In the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods, there were many “welfare cultural figures.
In the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods, there were many “welfare cultural figures. I remember that he emphasized the need for us to hold on to the history of “welfare people.
He pointed out that we tend to focus on European welfare and other advanced welfare countries.
The other episode is that of the “welfare culture people” in Japan.
　Another episode was that we need to invite more and more specialists other than welfare professionals to join our academic societies.
He also pointed out that we tend to focus on European welfare and other topics in advanced welfare countries.
　Once, I had a meeting with a musician and Dr. Ichibangase.
I went to a special nursing home with five musicians and Dr. Ichibanagase. I went with five musicians and Dr. Ichibangase to a special nursing home for the elderly.
The elderly people were sitting in a circle in the dining room, holding bells in their hands.
The elderly people were sitting in a circle in the dining room, holding bells in their hands and singing nursery rhymes. Then, one of them was not motivated at all.
Then, there was one old lady who was not at all motivated to sing.
She did not sing at all. Her eyes were vacant and she turned her head down. She was looking at me blankly and looking down.
I had seen a lot of recreation and activity activities in various places.
I had seen a lot of recreation and activity activities in various places, so I did not pay much attention to the fact that there were elderly people who were not motivated to sing.
I was not so much concerned about unmotivated elderly people. However, Dr. Ichibanase is concerned about it. He said, “Perhaps she has another song she wants to sing.
“Maybe she has another song she wants to sing. He was saying something like, “Maybe she has another song she wants to sing. Then, I heard Ichibanagase-sensei’s voice.
Then the musician approached the elderly person and asked, “Do you have any favorite songs?
The musician asked the elderly lady, “Do you have any favorite songs? Then, to the old lady’s surprise, she said, “Kareha (dead leaves).
I was surprised to hear her say, “Kareha. She said, “Kareha is my favorite song,” and sat down at the piano. She sat down at the piano and began to play her masterpiece.
The cafeteria was instantly In an instant, the dining room was transformed into a recital hall. Then, Grandma stood up and sang.
She stood up and started to sing. And she sang in French. She even raised her hands high in the air.
She even raised her hands in the air. Then, an occupational therapist who happened to come once a week
The occupational therapist who came once a week happened to say, “I’ve been working with this grandmother for two years.
I have been with her for two years.
I’ve been with her for two years, and this is the first time I’ve seen her right hand rise above her shoulder. I have been working with her for two years, but this is the first time I have seen her right hand rise above her shoulder.
She felt helpless in her occupational therapy. Dr. Ichibanase then asked, “Did you do anything when you were younger?

-Dr. Ichibangase

I was a chanson singer in Ginza before the war. He answered with dignity, “I was a chanson singer in Ginza before the war.
I was a chanson singer in Ginza before the war. I like that kind of dignified grandmother a lot.

Let’s define “welfare culture” with flexibility and diversity.

Shimada: She grew up as a young lady in a nice place, so I don’t think she would like it if she were like that. In other words.
Shimada: She grew up as a young lady in a nice place, so she wouldn’t like it if she were like that.
But if you look down, you can see that you are not so fashionable. But if there is someone who is looking down, I think there must be something else they want to sing about.
I think that is a good thing. It is not that I think they are unmotivated or uncooperative, but that I can feel or think that there is something else.
I think it’s great that they can feel and think that there are other things they want to sing about. I think it’s great that you can feel and think that there are other things to sing about.
I think that is why you have been involved in so many such activities in so many places.
I am sure that you have been involved in many such things in various places. Do you know anything else? Yes, I do. Mr. Sonoda, please go ahead.

Mr. Sonoda: If I may speak a little like an academic society, the key point is flexibility. As I mentioned earlier.
I have just mentioned, when the Open University of Japan decided to start a TV program, they rewrote the entire “Theory of Leisure Lifestyle” course that had been taught up to that point.
I was just saying that the theory of “Leisure Lifestyles” had been rewritten. At that time, unfortunately, the theory of leisure life was not well established in Japan, so there was not much written on the subject.
So I asked Dr. Ichibanagase how he thought the theory of leisure life should be developed and what kind of theory should be used. So I asked Dr. Ichibanase how I should write about it.
He was very easygoing and said, “You can write whatever you like.
He said, “You can write whatever you like. He said, “You can write whatever you want. I don’t know whether to call it flexibility or laxity.
I don’t know. (Everyone laughed).
　I felt that it is true that we should not rely on what has already existed, and that we should be free to come up with new themes.
I felt a sense of nostalgia that we have to be free to come up with new themes, rather than relying on existing ones. That’s why
I think that’s why I felt that he had to be free to come up with new themes.
I think that is why Mr. Ichibanagase did not like to decide on the “welfare culture” and did not want to take that way of thinking. I think that the totality of what everyone is thinking about is the “welfare culture.
I think it is fine to say that “welfare culture” is the totality of what everyone is thinking about. I hope that such flexibility will be continued in the future.
I hope that such flexibility will continue to be passed on to the next generation. Of course, it is necessary to think strictly, as Dr. Kawatoda does.
However, it is also necessary to think strictly, as Dr. Kawatoda does, but to keep the field as broad as possible, to cross borders as much as possible.
However, I think it is also important to keep the field as broad as possible, and to cross borders with various things as much as possible.
Crossing borders is also one of the keywords of Mr. Ichigase. Crossing borders is also one of the keywords of Mr. Ichibanase.
He goes beyond welfare facilities and out into the community. They go beyond the realm of welfare to education, medicine, community development, and politics.
education, medical care, community development, and politics. There is a tendency for expertise to have too strong a boundary that should not be crossed.
There is a tendency for expertise to become too strong. In order to shake up the rigidity of the social welfare academy, we need to address the issue of the rigidity of the social welfare culture academy.
I think we can now see that the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture was created to overcome the rigidity of the social welfare society in order to shake it up. That is the spirit of transcending borders and flexibility.
I hope that we will inherit the spirit of transcending borders and flexibility.

Shimada: Mr. Kawabata, please go ahead.

126 – 127 – Kawabatake

Kawabatake: Now that we have come to the topic of “welfare culture,” I would like to say a few words.
Earlier, Mr. Baba, former Director General, and Mr. Kawahata, Chairman, have spoken about “welfare culture” in various ways, and I think each of them has a valid point.
I think that each of them is absolutely right. I myself have recently published a short paper entitled “Care and Welfare Culture” by Dr. Kensaku Ohashi.
I myself was recently asked to write a short article titled “Care and Welfare Culture” by Dr. Kensaku Ohashi, who is responsible for the edited volume “Care” (to be published by Minerva Publishing).
I had a chance to think about it a lot. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was very interesting to see that “welfare culture” is being used in a proper way.
I was asked to write a short manuscript on “welfare culture” for the course “Care” (to be published by Minerva Publishing), for which Ohashi is responsible. As I mentioned to Dr. Bangase, there are many opportunities to think about various things.
I have also talked to Mr. Ichibangase, but it was only for a short time, but I said, “What is “children’s culture”?

Do you think there is any definition of “children’s culture”? Actually, there is no definition of “children’s culture.
In fact, there is no definition of “children’s culture. The term “children’s culture” has been gradually born since Miekichi Suzuki’s “Akai Tori” magazine was published.
The term “children’s culture” has gradually emerged since the publication of Miekichi Suzuki’s magazine Akai Tori (Red Bird).
The term “children’s culture” was coined at the beginning of the Showa period. At that time, the term “children’s culture” became firmly established. The term “children’s culture” has not been well defined to this day.
However, the term “children’s culture” has not been well defined to this day. Of course, the term “children’s culture” can be defined as “culture related to children.
But if you look on the Internet, you will find that it is a uniquely Japanese term. It is a uniquely Japanese term.
It has been decades since the term “children’s culture” was coined.
But there is still no definition of the term. There are departments of children’s culture in universities without a definition.
There are also departments of children’s culture in universities without a definition.
　The term “lifestyle culture” also has no definition. The term “lifestyle culture” was coined in the postwar period by a slightly younger generation.
The term “lifestyle culture” was coined after the war by the Occupation Forces, or the American Occupation Forces.
The term “lifestyle culture” became popular in Japanese society when the Occupation Forces arrived. Professor Hiroshi Minami of Hitotsubashi University established the Institute for Lifestyle and Culture Studies.
Professor Hiroshi Minami of Hitotsubashi University established the Institute for Studies of Seikatsu Bunka (Culture of Daily Life) and wrote various articles. He also published a book called “Seikatsu Bunka Jiten” (Dictionary of Seikatsu Culture).
He also published a book titled “Dictionary of Seikatsu Bunka (Culture of Daily Life). It has been 60 years now, but there is no definition.
Life itself has expanded enormously. The way of life as conceived in the 1945s is totally different from the way we think of it today.
The way of life in the 1950s is totally different from the way of life today. In the area of human rights, the human rights of the 1950s and the human rights of today are very different.
The scope of human rights has also changed considerably, from the human rights of the 1950s to those of today, such as the respect for personal information and the respect for various basic human rights.
In this sense, the content of “culture of life” has also changed. In this sense, the content of “culture of life” is also changing as our lives expand.
As our lives expand, and as the family itself becomes more and more independent, and as parents and children come to interact with each other as equal adults
As our lives expand, and as the family itself becomes more and more independent, and as parents and children come to interact with each other as equal adults, life itself also changes considerably. In other words, in the 1950s, there was no such thing as a family living together under one roof.
In the 1950s, families lived together under one roof. It could be said that Japanese society was still poor.
However, the “life” of that era and the “life” of today can be considered The “life” of those days is very different from the “life” we can think of today.
　The above is just one example, but it is difficult to define “welfare culture” in a few words.
It is very difficult. As soon as you think you have caught it, it goes away like a running away water. The welfare culture must also change.
The welfare culture must change as well. And the culture is also changing rapidly. I have been thinking about this recently.
I have been thinking recently that there is no such thing as a definition that can cover everything.
I would like to talk to Dr. Ichibanase about this. I have talked about this with Dr. Ichibanase for a while. As an old man who is dying, I think it is time to start talking to all of you.
I am a dying person, and it occurred to me that it is time for me to say this to you all.
I am not a welfare person. I have been talking about “welfare culture” in various places.

-As you have said before.

As you have said before, it is a kind of energy to oneself.
It is an energy. It becomes an energy, and I am active.
If it becomes energy and is connected to the cultural activities on a daily or routine level, that is
I don’t think we should decide anything too unified. I have come to think that there is no need to decide anything too uniformly.
I am starting to think that we don’t have to make any decisions in a unified way.

Welfare Culture” Expands with an Elliptical Structure

Shimada: Please come in, Mr. Sakurai. I would have liked to hear from you too. (Laughter) Sakurai

Sakurai: I’m not very good at defining “welfare culture,” or perhaps it’s too much for me to handle. I am not very good at defining “welfare culture.
I am not very good at defining “welfare culture,” but what you just said, and what Mr. Sonoda said about going beyond the realm and being flexible….
I imagine the Japan Society of Welfare and Culture as having an elliptical structure and being very flexible.
I have an image of the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture as having an elliptical structure, being very flexible, and going beyond its own domain. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I first started the Society.
The first thing that I would like to mention is the toy concept of Dr. Ichibanase and Dr. Shinsuke Tada. Toys are not only for children.
toys are not only for children, but also for the elderly and all people to use toys to communicate and enrich their lives.
I believe that the idea of toys was to enrich people’s lives, not only children, but also the elderly and the young. After all, welfare has developed over the years, starting from poverty relief.
At first, I could not imagine how toys and welfare could be integrated.
I was not able to imagine that toys and welfare could be integrated. In your mind, it was more than just something for special people.
I think it was not just about special people. So, communication, recreation, and leisure time were
I think the most important thing to remember at that time was that the first I remember that at the very beginning of the program, there was a comment that “men who retire at the age of 60 usually don’t know what to do.
I remember at that time, at the very beginning, I said to myself, “After retirement at age 60, men generally don’t know what to do. That’s a problem, isn’t it? He was very passionate about it.
That is a problem, isn’t it? So it is not that there is something special about him.
I think it’s not that there is something special about all of us, but that we all have a richness and flexibility that can be developed in any number of ways.
I think it’s not that there is something special about them, but that they all have a richness, flexibility, and energy that can expand as much as they want.
It’s like an elliptical structure.
The two points interact with each other and something is born one after the other.
It’s just that two points interact with each other to create something one after the other. It’s just that
It is not that there is one centripetal object in the center, but rather that there is a rich diversity.
I guess you could say there is more diversity. This was the first part of the encounter between Mr. Tada, his father, and Mr. Ichibanagase.
I have a feeling that this was the first encounter between Mr. Tada, Mr. Tada’s father, and Mr. Ichibanase.

Shimada Please go ahead.

Sonoda Since you just mentioned an elliptical structure, I think of it as an ellipse with “welfare” and “culture” as the focal points of the ellipse.
I think it is better to think of it loosely as an ellipse, with “welfare” and “culture” as the focal points of each. The issue of definitions always comes up.
I am somewhat fed up with this issue of definitions. Definitions.

In other words, a definition is…
I think it is a starting point. However, if we think too strictly about definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition.
However, if we think too strictly about definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition, definition.
Once the definition is finally completed, it tends to be the end of the process. This is not a good thing.
If we are going to have a long discussion about definitions, it is better to have a very loose and elliptical definition.
I would rather look at what is actually happening right now. My idea of “welfare culture” is to “look at welfare through cultural glasses.
I think of “welfare culture” as “looking at welfare through cultural glasses. In other words, I don’t want to use one word, “welfare culture. In other words, I don’t want to use the term “welfare culture” as one word.
I do not mean “welfare culture research” as research on what “welfare culture” is, but as “cultural research” on “welfare.

I think it is “cultural research” of “welfare. Therefore, anything in the field of welfare is a subject.
So, anything in the field of welfare is a subject. Cultural research is to criticize it from a cultural perspective. It is a cultural research, so we have to critique it from a cultural perspective.
or what is behind the goodness or badness of the culture?
or what is behind the good or bad? I may sound like I am speaking in the abstract, but I always have in mind, for example, a day service program.
I always have in mind, for example, day service programs. I always have in mind, for example, the programs of day care services, which are also called recreational activities.
I am often criticized for the content of these programs. For example, I often hear people say, “Why should we let grown-ups draw coloring books?
For example, I often hear people say, “What’s the point of letting a grown-up draw a coloring book? What should we do about it? I think that’s the problem. That is the problem.
That’s where the problem lies. If you think about it, a “welfare culture” that requires adults to draw coloring books is a situation where the time, money, and staff are not available for anything other than coloring.
The “welfare culture” that requires adults to draw coloring pictures is defined by external conditions such as lack of time, money, and staff to do anything other than coloring.
If we could make the recreational activities of the day service more If you want to enrich the recreational activities of the day service, you should not only use the program, but also make it more fun.
If we want to enrich recreation in day services, we need to make sure that the nursing care insurance pays for recreation, not just the program.
If we want to enrich the recreational activities of day services, it is necessary to have not only the programs but also the financial, spatial, and equipment
The economic, spatial, and equipment conditions have to be in place so that the long-term care insurance will pay for recreation and the budget will come from somewhere. I think we should open up the issue in that direction.
I think we need to open up the issue in that direction. Therefore, the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture should continue to critique and prosecute various problems in the field of welfare from a cultural perspective.
I hope that the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare Culture will continue to critique and denounce various problems in the welfare field from a cultural perspective. I would like to see the Society for the Study of Welfare Culture continue to criticize and denounce various problems in the field of welfare from a cultural perspective.
I would like to see the Society for the Study of Welfare Culture to continue to criticize and denounce various problems in the field of welfare from a cultural perspective.
There must be many problems. There must be many problems. As Dr. Ichibanase always says, “Japanese welfare is still in its infancy.
As Dr. Ichibangase always says, Japan’s welfare system is still in its infancy. It is not the end of the world, but rather an area that needs to be pioneered in the future.
I think it is an area that needs to be cultivated.
　In that sense, I think “welfare culture” is a “measure” to measure the degree of culture.
It is a “scale” to measure the degree of culture. The idea that culture is some kind of valuable entity is quite a classic cultural theory.
is quite a classical theory of culture. The most advanced cultural theory today says that culture is an ideology.
culture is an ideology. Culture, though beautiful at first glance, is nothing more than a device used by someone in power to influence everyone.
Cultural studies” has become a mainstream research method in cultural sociology.
I don’t think we need to go along with all these arguments. I don’t think it is necessary to go along with all of these arguments.
However, we do not need to think of culture as something to be celebrated, but rather to look at what lies behind culture in a slightly more negative way.
However, we should not think of culture as something to be congratulated or something good. A researcher must have a little bit of a nasty side to him or her. Practitioners should be more relaxed.
I think that practitioners should be more spontaneous. The Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture is like an ellipse. Researcher

and practitioners.
There are two focal points, neither of which is central. Neither of them is superior to the other.
Neither is the center of the universe. I think this is also what Ichibanase-sensei was talking about. The fusion of practice and research is a little bit
I don’t think it is a good idea to fuse practice and research. Practice and research are different.
They should be mutually critical. Practice criticizes research, and research criticizes practice.
There are two focal points.
And as they are working together, things will move forward.
　In that sense, let’s leave the definitional discussion there. And let’s rather think about what we are being asked to do now.
What are we being asked to do now? To be more specific, for example, there is the issue of the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act. The Democratic Party of Japan promised to abolish it.
The Democratic Party of Japan promised to abolish it. However, this past summer, the law was revised, and it is now called the Comprehensive Support Act, but nothing has been changed.
However, the amendment was made this summer, and the law was renamed the Comprehensive Support for Persons with Disabilities Act, but nothing has changed. The problem with the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act
The problems that were mentioned about the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act, such as “classification of disability level” and
The problem of the 10% burden is also an issue. The “Framework Proposal” of the Council for the Promotion of Institutional Reform has been issued.
The “Framework Proposal” of the Council for System Reform has been issued, but it does not include anything that is written there. But they changed it, they changed the name.
But they changed it, they just changed the name. This is bureaucracy at its finest. Bureaucratic wisdom. What the Welfare and Culture Society should do is to
What the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture should do is to think about how people with disabilities should live their lives from a cultural perspective. From the viewpoint of the culture of the disabled, we should think about how the disabled should live.
From the viewpoint of the culture of the disabled, we have a lot to say, don’t we? It is not simply a matter of guaranteeing the livelihood of the disabled.
What is needed to provide cultural support for people with disabilities to live actively in the community?
I think that the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture can make clear and precise proposals on what is needed in terms of cultural support for people with disabilities to live lively lives in the community.
I believe that the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture can make a clear and precise proposal. And we should think about the direction of solution, not just mentality.
We should change the system to solve the problem, not just think of something in the welfare system. It is not a matter of thinking about something within the welfare system, but rather the culture comes first.
I think that the culture must come first, and then the system must follow. In this sense, I think that combat research on “welfare culture” is important for young people.
In this sense, I would like to see young people conducting combative research on “welfare culture”.

Tada When we were first considering what form to take for this academic society, Professor Ichibanase mentioned that there are three types of academic societies.
Dr. Ichigase told us that there are three types of academic societies. One is a “salon-type academic society. One is a “salon-type academic society
It is a type that focuses on cross-industrial exchange and interdisciplinary exchange. The second is a “salon-type conference.
The second type, which is the mainstream in the world, is an “achievement-accumulating society. This type needs no explanation.
This type needs no explanation. The third type is a “movement-type society. At that time, Dr. Ichibanase strongly insisted that this was a “movement-type society.
The third type is a “movement-type society. This is the third one. This is the third one.
This was a major trigger for the Welfare Culture Association of Japan to turn its attention to kinetic societies. This is what Mr. Sonoda is referring to today.
This is what Mr. Sonoda means when he says that the current state of the Japan Society of Welfare Culture should not be more militant or more scheduled, but rather that practice and research should fight.
I believe that this is also connected to the fact that the current state of the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture should be more combative and less scheduled. At that time
If we need a single indicator, then we need to look at welfare through the magnifying glass of “culture.
If we need a single indicator, it is very important for us to look at welfare through the magnifying glass of “culture” and what kind of magnifying glass we have.
I think it is very important for us to look at welfare through the magnifying glass of “culture. Of course, Dr. Ichibangase has a “Ichibangase Scale”, which is a kind of cultural index.
I believe that Dr. Ichibangase had a kind of cultural index called “Ichibangase Scale”. I think Dr. Ichibangase had a cultural index called “Ichibangase Scale”.
I think he had a strong will to make a cultural assessment of welfare based on the Ichibangase scale. I did not have such a firm scale.
I don’t have such a firm scale, and my legs and feet are still unsteady.

-…
130
-I don’t have such a firm scale, and my legs are still wobbly.

I am one of those people who would like to have a scale, a scale that never wavers. However, when
I think that if we were to refine this scale only with our peers, we would end up in harmony with the schedule.
I think that is why we need people outside the welfare field to help us. I think that is why he strongly insisted that we need the help of people outside the welfare field.
I think that is why he strongly insisted that we need the help of people outside the welfare field. Moreover, he was also very interested in involving specialists outside the field of social welfare who are pioneering the way forward.
I think the key point is that he emphasized the need to build a welfare culture society with the involvement of professionals outside the welfare system who are pioneering the way forward. So, what are you going to do about it?
I think the key point is to involve experts from outside the field of social welfare.
I think it is a cultural friction in a good sense. And I think it is cultural friction in a positive sense. In other words
In other words, the common sense of the world is the insanity of welfare, and the common sense of welfare is the insanity of the world.
In other words, common sense and common sense, and common sense and common sense, clash with each other. This is very important.
I think that without this friction, culture cannot be born. For example, there is a case like this.
One example is this. A color coordination specialist who works at a culture center insisted on visiting a home for the elderly.
She wanted to visit a nursing home for the elderly.
We visited a nursing home for the elderly for the first time, including some who referred to it as an “old people’s home. I wondered if our expertise in color coordination would be of any use.
They were seriously wondering if their specialty of color coordination would be of any use. After arriving at the nursing home
After arriving at the nursing home, the first thing they said to each other was, “We are going to help you. The first thing they said after arriving at the nursing home was, “We saw the care staff preparing food for delivery in the dining room.
They asked me, “Why do the staff here wear only aprons in colors that make the elderly lose their appetites?
Why do the staff here wear only aprons in colors that make the elderly look unappetizing? What is the purpose of this? There is no such purpose.
There is no such aim, is there? It’s just a coincidence, and they don’t have that kind of color knowledge.
(Laughs.) But when they met, they both said, “What is the purpose of this? (Laughs.) But it is true that the meeting between the two has created a cultural friction.
I think it is true. So, what kind of apron color would increase the appetite of the elderly, and what kind of curtain color should we pay attention to?
What color of aprons would increase the appetite of the elderly, or what color of curtains should we be careful about?
I think the conference was a precious opportunity to take cultural friction to the next level. Cultural friction in a positive sense triggers an attitude of creating culture.
This is a movement that is unique to the Japan Society of Welfare and Culture.
I believe that this will lead to a movement that is unique to the Japan Welfare Culture Association.

Shimada: Mr. Sakurai, please go ahead.

Sakurai: I work at a facility for the elderly, and I have a strong sense of what it is like to work there. I have a bird’s eye view of the future of the Japan Society of Welfare and Culture.
I would like to share with you a bird’s eye view, a viewpoint from which to see, a viewpoint on a scale. I would also like to receive your criticism.
I would also like to receive your criticism. I would be very grateful if you could discuss some points with me.
I would also like to ask for your criticism. I had the opportunity to listen to a talk by an American professor, Carl Becker, who is a graduate student at Kyoto University.
He said something like this: “In the past, Japanese people died gracefully. He said, “In the past, Japanese people knew what a clean death was.
Japanese used to know what a clean death was. The Japanese used to know what a clean death was, and they were like that. But now we are losing sight of that, aren’t we?
In other words, life and the things that live must be seen as such. In other words, life, and all living things must die, but in the process, something like the way we should be as human beings has been blurred or lost.
In other words, life, and all living things must die, but in the process, the way we should be as human beings has become blurred. What the Japanese people have nurtured over thousands of years has become blurred.
I take this as a message that what the Japanese people have nurtured over thousands of years has become blurred in this age.

-131
131
-I took it as a message that what Japanese people have nurtured over thousands of years has become blurred.

I took it as a message that what the Japanese people have nurtured over thousands of years has become blurred. I took it as a message that we are living in an age where things have become blurred.
As Baba-sensei said, everyone is an individual. It is important to consider the whole as an important point of view.
But they are all individuals. How each one of us lives, thinks, and feels. When I look at it from that point of view, I think, “This is a little bit different from today.
I wanted to share with you today that when people die, they may wonder how their life was.
I wanted to tell you today that when a person dies, he or she wonders how his or her life was lived.
I would say it is a key point on a scale. I would say it’s more like an absolute point.
At such times, there may be people who are in their old age, or people with disabilities, or people with muscular dystrophy who pass away at the age of 20 or more.
For such people, it is important to understand their way of life and their For these people, we are trying to understand their way of life, their culture and welfare together, and their life.
We have to ask ourselves, “Where do we begin to deal with such people whose lives, culture, and welfare have been combined? At that time, the final and absolute point is the time of death.
The final and absolute point is the person’s thoughts and feelings at the time of death.
I feel that the last absolute point is the person’s thoughts at the time of death.

Tada: I would like to add one thing related to what Mr. Sakurai said. If you look at the chronology of the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture
The chronology of the Japan Welfare Culture Association (JWCA), which was distributed to you, shows that in 1990, that is, in the second year of the JWCA, the on-site seminar was already held.
The first on-site seminar was held at Sakura-en in 1990, which is the second year of the Society of Welfare Culture.
In other words, in the second year, the on-site seminar was already started at Sakura-en. At that time, Mr. Sakurai was 49 or 50 years old and was the director of the facility. Mr. Sakurai was actually an elite employee of a major company.
Mr. Sakurai was actually an elite salaryman at a major company. I heard that Mr. Sakurai was actually an elite businessman in a major company.
The memorable on-site seminar for this welfare culture society was held at Sakura-en. The theme of the seminar was “Death of a resident in a senior citizen home.
The theme of the seminar was the death of a resident of a senior citizen home. This serious theme of death was the start of the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture.
This was the start of the Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture.
　In fact, we always had a farewell party for those who passed away at Sakura-en after they returned from the hospital.
We always held a farewell party for those who had passed away. Whenever a patient became sick in the nursing home, an ambulance would be called and the patient would be taken to the hospital to die.
When a person becomes ill in a nursing home, an ambulance is called and the person is taken to the hospital where he or she dies. However, at Sakuraen, they cherished the “farewell party.
Dr. Ichibanase loved it very much. Dr. Ichibanase said that this was a very important issue. He said that this was a very important issue, and that until now, the welfare
The first seminar was held at the Sakurajima in Tokyo. Dr. Ichibangase strongly requested that the first seminar be held at Sakura-en.
The first seminar was to be held at Sakuraen, and the theme was decided immediately. The theme was immediately decided upon.

-132
132
-The theme was immediately decided upon.

And they said, “We shouldn’t invite Ms. Sakurai, the director of the facility, to talk about this kind of issue in a stairwell classroom at Japan Women’s University. Let’s go to the site.
Let’s go there and talk to them. Let’s go there and listen to what they have to say. Another thing is that the residents may think that only the facility side is doing the good-bye meeting.
What about the residents? What about the residents?
I thought it would be good to hear what the residents really think about the farewell meeting.
I thought it would be good to hear what the residents are really thinking and what they are really doing. I asked the residents to participate in the seminar.
I asked Mr. Sakurai, “Let’s have all the residents participate in this on-site seminar. Mr. Sakurai agreed. He also said, “Please feel free to ask any questions you want.
I am still impressed by his words. I still remember with emotion how he added, “Feel free to ask the residents.
　On the day of the event, I, as the host, leaned toward the microphone and asked the elderly residents, “What about the farewell party? I asked them, “What do you think about the farewell party?
I asked him, “How do you feel about the farewell party? They all said, “I would like to have a farewell party, too. When I asked them, “What about the farewell party?
I was surprised to hear that everyone wanted to have a farewell party. I don’t want to have a lonely end, where the next morning, there is an empty bed, and then suddenly disappear, and no one is there.
I don’t want to have such a lonely end. I still remember strongly how he said that he wanted everyone to send him off.
I still remember that strongly.

Anti-Welfare, Anti-Human Rights and Welfare Culture

Shimada: Please go ahead. Kawabatake-san.

Kawabatake: Regarding death, the culture of death has changed considerably.
I have had many discussions with Dr. Ichibanase about religion and death. At that time, I was a non-believer.
I am a non-believer, but Dr. Ichibangase encouraged me to have faith and told me that it is easier to go to the other side if I have faith.
I am not a believer, but Dr. Ichibangase recommended me to have faith. But that alone was not enough for me to take the plunge into faith.
I thought that faith was not something I could have. In other words, from a rational point of view, I could not believe that there is a God.
I said, “Well, I don’t think there is a God, and I don’t think there is a Buddha, so I don’t think I can have faith.
I said, “Well, that’s true. I said, “Well, that’s true. It was a short conversation, but it reminds me of that. When I asked him about it earlier, he said that he had a Buddhist background.
I heard that he had a Buddhist Buddhist name, but I think he might have been a Catholic.
I think he might have been a Catholic. I heard that he was baptized as an infant, so now I have mixed feelings.
I have mixed feelings about it now. Well, in the end, he was given a Buddhist name, but it could have been given by the person who was left behind, so it is very difficult to say.
It is very difficult to determine the name of the deceased, because it is possible that it was given by the person who was left behind. If you are the author of the biography, I hope you will make sure of that too.
If you are a biographer, I would like you to make sure of that.
　I would like to make one more point that I would like to make here at this table.
I would like to talk about something else. The topic is a little different from death, but I would like to talk about something that I would like to share with you.
I would like to talk about one thing that I would like to talk about.
I hope you all went to the polling place. I am sure that all of you went to the polling place. My feeling is that this election has brought about a sudden
I feel that the anti-welfare forces have suddenly risen to the center of politics in this election. The term “anti-welfare,” as I just used, is actually a term of endearment.
I have just used the term “anti-welfare,” which was used by Dr. Ichibangase from time to time. Dr. Ichibangase was a gentle man with a fiery temperament and a muscular personality.
On the other hand, she was a woman with a fiery temper and a strong sense of reason. In her lectures, she would sometimes make scathing criticisms of the social situation.
She was also a woman with a strong temperament and a strong sense of reason. The term “anti-welfare” was used by

-Anti-Welfare

The short answer is that it is a way of thinking that the market will lead society in the right direction if we promote the principle of competition first and foremost.
I believe that the core of this concept is the idea that the market will lead society in the right direction if we promote the principle of competition first and foremost.
This is why I believe that the core is based on the principle of competition first and foremost. This is the reason why various policies and political parties have emerged. As I mentioned earlier about the Assistance Act, this is the first time I have heard of it.
I think that the term “anti-welfare” should not be used in an overt way, but it should be used to describe the policies that will emerge in the future.
I am concerned that such policies will emerge in the future, even if I do not use the term “anti-welfare” in an overt way. I am concerned that such policies may appear in the world in the future.
I am concerned that the media may support all such policies, and that a winter period for welfare may be beginning.

I have a fear that a winter era will begin for the welfare sector.　For example, in the field of welfare for the elderly, the management of special nursing homes for the elderly by corporations has become a hot topic.
This is a new trend in the field of welfare for the elderly. This is a very public thing that until now has been allowed only to social welfare corporations and medical corporations.
However, it may become possible for corporations, such as Softbank, to manage special nursing homes for the elderly.
However, it may become possible for companies such as Softbank to operate nursing homes for the elderly. Softbank Ikebukuro, for example, is not a fictitious story.
In reality, corporate executives are making very strong requests for this. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) is the only one that protects them.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) is the only one that is protecting the “Mere Old Man’s Home”, but with political guidance, the barriers may be removed.
If this happens, it will not be a competition. In this case, although competition is called for, it is hard to see who is having a harder time competing with SoftBank and social welfare corporations.

I think it is obvious which one will have a harder time competing with SoftBank and social welfare corporations. In any case, I think it would be easier to understand the difference between SoftBank and a social welfare corporation.
In any case, as I said in an easy-to-understand metaphor, a reduction in the cost of public assistance itself, a reduction in the total amount of public assistance, and such like may also appear in concrete terms.
In any case, and I use an easy-to-understand metaphor, we may see a reduction in the total amount of welfare payments themselves. The media is already actively reporting on this.

I am sure that Dr. Ichibanagase is also worried about this kind of anti-welfare situation that will appear soon, including in the media.
I am sure that Dr. Ichibanase is worried about this kind of anti-welfare situation that will soon appear, including in the media. If it is a winter time for the welfare culture, it is probably a winter time for the welfare culture.
I think that the welfare culture will probably continue to experience a winter period, or something like that. The anti-welfare movement
will be anti-human rights and anti-constitutional. The Constitution has already been discussed.
Constitution has already been discussed, but I think it will continue to move in a direction that is bad for welfare for some time to come.
But at the same time, I believe that a winter that never comes is a winter that never comes.
　However, at the same time, winter never comes without spring.
I think that the anti-welfare movement will, on the contrary, let us know what real welfare activities are and what it means to nurture them.
I believe that the anti-welfare movement will, on the contrary, inform us of the true nature of welfare activities and what it means to foster them. I strongly feel this way. I strongly believe that if many people have such a feeling
I believe that when many people have such feelings, a true welfare culture will be born. In other words, I always strongly believe that the spring of Tokyo and the spring of Japan’s welfare culture will come.
I always strongly believe that the spring of Tokyo and the spring of Japan’s welfare culture will come. That is what I wanted to say.

Shimada Thank you very much. The age of anti-welfare is coming.
I believe that the Society for the Study of Welfare Culture must play an important role in opposing the anti-welfare era.
I would like to thank Ms. Kawabatake for her suggestion. As Mr. Kawabatake suggested, what kind of issues should the Japanese Society for Welfare Culture take on in the future?
I would like to ask the other three members what issues the Japan Society for the Study of Welfare and Culture should take up in the future and where we should focus our attention. I am sorry.
I have only about 10 minutes left, but I would like to end with a summary of the discussion.
I would like to finish by asking you to speak in summary. I would like to end with a brief summary of our discussion. Anyone can start.

Sonoda: You mentioned the issue of death earlier.
In January, my best friend since junior high school died.
In June, my mother passed away at the age of 96.
In June, my mother passed away at the age of 96, and in the summer, my best friend’s daughter committed suicide. And
I found out about it a little later in September.
Dr. Ichiban-gase. And in October, another
Another best friend died alone. Then, my favorite teacher, Saiichi Marutani, passed away.
died. Even Kanzaburo died. And even Shoichi Ozawa said bye-bye. So the tsunami of death
I feel that the tsunami of death is approaching me. The culture of death is now undergoing a major transformation.
The way we hold funerals, for example. How to hold a funeral, for example. How do we think about death itself? And then there are graves. What is death in the first place?
and the relationship between death and religion. I think this is an excellent theme, and since we are all going to die, I am sure that this is a good theme that will be well received.
I think this is a good theme that will be well-received. I think this is a good theme that will always be well-received.
A society in which people can live and die well is a welfare society, and I believe that this is being threatened.
I believe that this is being threatened. I think that even funerals are becoming a matter of money due to the principle of competition. This is a reality, isn’t it?
This is the reality, isn’t it? I would like to see the anti-welfare movement open up and push back the “welfare culture”.
I would like to see the “welfare culture” open up and push back the anti-welfare movement. And while we are on the subject of definitions, let’s think of something interesting. My theme is play, so I would like to think of something interesting.
I am originally interested in play, so I think that life is about play. That is why I would like to see the Welfare and Culture
I would like the Welfare Culture Association to play more and more.

Sakurai: Since I spoke earlier, I would like to make a small comment in relation to that.
I don’t really want to talk about death, and I have a strong image that it is annoying and gloomy.
I do not want to talk about death too much, and it is an annoying and gloomy subject. I don’t really understand this, but I do think that death is essentially a bright thing, and that it is important to live strongly.
I think it is a good thing if we can see the meaning of life more and more.
I think it is a good thing if we can see the meaning of life more and more. I think this is a shift in the meaning of life, and that nothing could be better than this.
I think this is the kind of shift we need to make. We are now in an era in which we have a chance to receive the whole transformation.
If we look at death in this way, we can accept it from a completely different perspective from the deaths we have experienced in the past.
I think it will change us to think deeply about who we are, who we were born to be. I have such a feeling.
I have such a feeling.

Tada The opposite of the issue of death is how to live.
I feel that Dr. Ichibanase has taught me that welfare is directly related to this theme.
I think I learned from Dr. Ichibanase that the theme and welfare are very strongly connected. I have been asked, “Do you know what welfare means in the first place?” I was once asked, “Do you know what welfare means in the first place?
I was once asked, “Welfare is not a word that has been used for a very long time. There was no such thing in the Edo period.
The word “welfare” was not used in the Edo period or even in the Meiji period. The term “social work” was more major.
The term “social work” was more major. According to Dr. Ichibanagase, “The word ‘social welfare’ was not used that much in the Edo period.
　According to Dr. Ichibanase, the word “welfare” came from China. In China, the word “welfare” has been used for 2000 years.
It has been used in China for 2,000 years and means “to live a full life and be blessed with joy.
I remember how impressed I was. I remember how deeply moved I was. I remember how impressed I was by the word “welfare,” which means to give a helping hand to the weak and needy.
I had always felt that welfare was something like a relationship between those who help and those who are helped, as if it were about reaching out to the weak or helping the poor or the weak.
I remember feeling a sense of refreshing and joyousness of “living out one’s life to the fullest and being blessed with joy” and a sense of “being a part of the community”.

I was moved by the strength of how well he lived his life. I was deeply moved by the strength of how well he lived his life.
I was told that welfare is to be able to think, “My life was good, no matter what,” at the time of death.
I was told that “welfare” is a very attractive word that emits an immeasurable positive factor.

　My favorite quote that best expresses this is the preface “Words to Start” that appears in all volumes of the Society’s first publication, “Welfare Culture Library.
The foreword, “Words to Start,” appears in all volumes of the Society’s first publication, “The Welfare Culture Library. Dr. Ichigase was in charge of writing the foreword.
I was put in charge of writing the foreword by Dr. Ichibanase, who said, “The word foreword is kind of uninteresting. Let’s make it a starting word.
He himself decided to use the word “start”.
　Let’s read it aloud. All people live in pursuit of happiness. To achieve this, a healthy and cultured life must be guaranteed.
This is a human right and one of the basic human rights. This is a human right, and it is the starting point for all human rights among the fundamental human rights.
It is the starting point for all human rights among fundamental human rights. The following begins with the following. “Welfare is the effort to achieve it,” he says.
He continues by saying, “Welfare is the effort to achieve it. The tone changes a little further, and he says, “It is not something that is simply given to us, but first and foremost, we must strive for it ourselves.
It is not something that is simply given to us, but something that we first and foremost create on our own, and then together. It is not something that is simply given to us, but something that we first and foremost create on our own and together.
I see. I realized that welfare is neither a legal theory nor an institutional theory, but an effort.
I realized that welfare is not a legal theory, nor an institutional theory, but an effort.
　In 1999, when Dr. Ichibanase gave a lecture in Kashiwazaki, he talked about “living a natural life and taking pleasure in it.
I think the last time I heard him speak was in 2004. I think the last time I heard him speak was in 2004. I think the last time I heard her speak was in 2004.
I think the last time I heard him speak was in 2004, when he gave a commemorative lecture at the Society of Beauty and Welfare Studies, which was organized by Aiko Yamano’s school.
In her later years, I feel that she was actively using this theme of “living a natural life and taking pleasure in it.
I feel that in his later years, he actively used this theme, “Live to the fullest and be blessed with joy.
　I think that the direct connection between “living” and “death,” and the deep acceptance of this connection and the
I feel that the attitude of the Welfare Culture Society of Japan is to think directly about the issues of “life” and “death,” to accept them deeply, and to face them.

Kawabatake: I would like to say something else.
Since then, human beings have been pursuing their own happiness.
Since then, human beings have been pursuing their own happiness. The name “welfare” came to Japan from China in Chinese characters by chance, but even in the Jomon period, there must have been welfare activities.
But even in the Jomon period, there must have been welfare activities in Japan. In the Yayoi period, there must have been welfare activities in Japan as well. In other words, the movement to seek one’s own happiness is a significant human activity.
In other words, there was a movement among humans to seek for their own happiness. I am not sure if apes have it or not.
but I am sure that there was a movement to seek for our own happiness. Therefore, no matter what obstacles or policies are put forth in the future, we must continue to move forward, even if only a little.
I strongly believe that such welfare activities, at least among Japanese people, will spread more and more and more.
I strongly believe that such welfare activities will spread more and more, at least among Japanese people.

Shimada: Thank you very much. I think you have given us a lot of great homework.
I think you have given us a lot of homework. As former President Ichibanase said when he resigned as Honorary President, “I hope that the seeds I have planted will grow into the future practice and research of each and every member.
I am happy that the seeds I planted will be developed into future practice and research by each and every one of our members.
