It has been 100 years since the founding of Zenkoku Suiheisha, which worked to eliminate Buraku discrimination, and the Buraku Liberation League held a commemorative rally in Kyoto, where the founding competition was held at that time.
Zenkoku Suiheisha is an organization that worked from the Taisho era to the Showa era in search of the elimination of Buraku discrimination, and was founded 100 years ago on March 3, 1918.
The Buraku Liberation League, which follows the trend of Zenkoku Suihei, held a commemorative rally in Kyoto, where the founding convention was held, and was attended by about 1,000 people concerned.
At the rally, the phrase "Be enthusiastic about the world of humans and be light with humans" was read aloud, which is said to be the first declaration of human rights in Japan.
Next, Shigeyuki Kumisaka, chairman of the Buraku Liberation League Central Headquarters, said, "Ukraine is in a very dire situation. War is the biggest violation of human rights." I asked for it. I am determined to make a new history toward the realization of a society in which human rights are established by grasping the declaration. "
In the future movement, we will ask the government to enact a law prohibiting various discriminations in 100 years, connect with people who are discriminated against at home and abroad, and promote efforts to eliminate all discrimination from the world. I confirmed how to proceed.
In addition, in commemoration of this 100th anniversary, Toson Shimazaki's novel "The Broken Commandment", which depicts the theme of Buraku discrimination, was made into a movie, and young actor Shotaro Mamiya is the main character in order to get young people interested. Played a teacher from a Buraku district.
A movie preview was also held at the rally, and Mr. Mamiya, who stood in the stage greeting, said, "I acted conscious of how the hero who lived quietly wearing a mask is being released," and freely through the movie. I asked him to feel something.
General Secretary of the Buraku Liberation League Central Headquarters "There is a" minority "exclusion in today's society."
Fujihiko Nishijima, general secretary of the Buraku Liberation League Central Headquarters, who was in charge of this movie, said, "Because the popular actor played the main character, many younger generations and people who are not so interested in the issue of Buraku discrimination were interested in it. I'm happy. Unfortunately, the movement to eliminate various minorities also exists in today's society. We asked the next generation and younger generations to watch this movie, not our inner movie, and this movie I want you to take the weight firmly and spread it. "
Shotaro Mamiya, who played the main character in the movie "Hakai"
Shotaro Mamiya, who played Yumatsu, a teacher from the Buraku area who is the main character in the movie "The Outcast," responded to an interview with NHK.
USHIMATSU hides his origin and lives in distress.
Mr. Mamiya explained the reason why he took on this role, "I thought it was a universal content, not a movie that once happened. Discrimination is everywhere in every era, so everyone is universal. I thought it was a work that I could put into myself. "
He added, "The issue of discrimination is not only something that has been widely covered in the media, but also discrimination that doesn't have a name or theme. When I read the script, I felt familiar with it. I was talking.
He says he's free to feel what the person watching the movie feels, and he doesn't think about giving more details about what he feels.
Mr. Mamiya said, "I think it's most important for the younger generation to see it. It may be a difficult theme to choose, but I don't think it's a movie that conveys only the knowledge of Buraku discrimination. I want you to feel something with 10 people and 10 colors. "
