...Japan are already put out about not being consulted fully or, it seems to them, taken seriously when they question the need to use force against Iraq. U.N. ambassador Bill Richardson was scheduled to be in Tokyo this week explaining the U.S. position, but Japan's U.N. ambassador, Hisashi Owada, is still miffed because Richardson neglected to tell him he was planning the trip. Apparently, Richardson's diplomacy doesn't include talking to Iraq's representatives in the U.S. Baghdad's U.N. ambassador, Nizar Hamdoon, says he hasn't met once with Richardson since the latter took over...
...BOMBINGS WERE NOT JUST THE END of a merciless clash of cultures [V-J Day, Aug., 7]. They were also the beginning of a human crisis called the nuclear age, beyond the differences in cultures and nationalities. HISASHI YUKIMOTO Yokosuka, Japan...

One ordered a European-made Ford Mondeo wagon last month, even though he will have to wait three months for delivery. In May, Ford imported 2,500 of its muscular new Mustangs; they sold out in two months...
More seriously, Owada represents values that modern Japanese admire most: discipline, a love of learning, discretion and, perhaps most important, the poise and sophistication to deal with the world beyond their borders. Until now she has built her life along the lines of her father's brilliant diplomatic career. Hisashi Owada is Japan's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. She is aware she comes from a fortunate background, is comfortable with it, and has a sense of responsibility. Former teachers say she has strong convictions about expanding Japan's role in international political and cultural life. Despite the fact that...
