Prostitutes gathered around the time of the war when the young soldiers are stationed. This is the same for any army in any country.
It is a natural progression of supply and demand.
However, there is no fact that military and bureaucrats forcibly entered the prostitute.
It is a testimony of Mr. Nishikawa, who served as a regional administrator in Korea for 12 years until the end of the war.
Mr. Kiyoshi Nishikawa, former secretary-general of the Korean Governor's Office, asked Prime Minister Abe to write down the following letter, in order to withdraw Kono's discourse in 2013.
- ー ー ー ー ー ー ー
"Please forgive me the rude letter I will give you letter to the prime minister that is being encouraged by the nationwide national affairs, with no name.
I have one thing I want to say about this as long as I live. It is about so-called comfort women comfort women.
From the conclusion, it is not unusual for Japan's military and officials to be compulsory enticed, etc. to comfort women such as Korea (North Korea and South Korea) etc.
Thus I can affirm that I have had experience as an interior section manager in Yeonju-gun and Jeonju-gun between Korea and Gangwon-do.
Below, I will tell you about the circumstances etc at that time.
I went to Korea in 1933, went to Gangwon-do Provincial Government and worked until I withdrew by a defeat battle, during which I joined in a temporary convocation.
The administration of Korea was transferred from the Governor's Office to the road agency, was transferred from the agency to the county office of the departure agency, and it was enforced from the county agency through the prefecture, eup, and the face (municipalities in Japan) (There are no prefectures in Gangwon-do , Eup and face only).
The county chief is a county guard, mostly Koreans, there is an interior department, an advisory department under it, the interior manager is almost a Japanese, an experienced senior veteran over forty years old, personnel affairs and other general affairs And was in charge of the county agency's authority.
In the affairs under the jurisdiction of the interior manager, there was also Education guidance supervision and military affairs, etc., but there was no duty of draft recruitment for Koreans, so the military was mainly concerned with the military.
Korean boys' adolescents have a quote, there is allocation of numbers to the road from Governor General, the road to the county agency, the group agency to do this, allocate it to the face, assign youth who gathered I took him to Busan and delivered it to the official of Governor General.
If there is no such thing for girls and the military is to collect comfort women,
The Korean Army Headquarters ordered the Governor General, and there was no choice but to collect and trace the aforementioned lines, but there was not such a thing at all.
Although prostitutes were forcibly taken away, being kidnapped was the work of a woman or someone of the same, and the military and the officer were absolutely inconspicuous.
Japanese women as well as prostitutes were in places where the military was located, but as a person there was a comfort women such as comfort women.
Unlike Japanese people, I do not think shame ashamed shame, I think that it would be better to make money even if Japanese people are defeated by the defeat, it is frustrating to complain that they will not lie.
It is now thought that most of the people who started knowledge of Governor General of the governor-general, beginning with administrative offices of the provincial governor and also in the military know the actual situation at the time.
However, some Japanese say that military persons and officials were involved in comfort women, among those rich in self-sufficiency,
It is truly admirable that he plays with a desk empty argument despite not knowing the actual state of Sulchbi (tavern) and Carchibi (prostitute) which should also be called the hometown of the Korean prostitute during the war before the war.
There is no hope of reviewing the Kono discourse that will destroy the national authority and become a negative legacy to the grandchildren except Prime Minister Abe.
I sincerely wish for a firm correction in this time for the sake of Japan being proud of it, I will depend on it.
Finally, I pray for the health of the Prime Minister for the Japanese family. "

In March of 2014, Prime Minister Abe responded to the question of Kono's conversation by a member of Takako Suzuki in the National Assembly as follows.
"I do not think to review the Cabinet Secretary's discourse (Kono discourse) on August 4, 1993, and to announce a new discourse concerning the Cabinet Secretary's discourse (Kono discourse)".
