"In this vein, I earnestly hope that in 2014 we will be mindful of making conscious efforts to concentrate on shaking ourselves free from our spiritual statelessness—a mentality seriously affecting us since the end of the Greater East Asian War and the American occupation of Japan (1945-1952). That we Japanese alienated ourselves from the origin of our culture and civilization has been the single biggest cause of this condition that continues to plague us today."
