One-man Effort To Wipe Out Racial Discrimination Started In Tokyo Jail
TOKYO. — A oneman effort
to wipe out racial
discrimina­
tion against Japan’s white-ski­
nned aborigines, the Ainu, be­
gan this year from the Tokyo
Jail cell of a convicted murde­
rer.
■ ; h , |
A former beggar, juvenile de­
linquent, circus worker and day
laborer named Naohiko Hashine
is serving a five-year sentence
for stabbing a friend in a Tokyo
bar.
In appealing, Hashine, a pri­
mary school dropout,
taught
himself to read and write and
prepared a 400-page defense for
the judge of his new trial. It
appeared in book form in Octo­
ber and the publisher plans a se­
cond edition soon.

Entitled “The Ainu
Nation
Shall Not Perish,”
Hashine’s
book describes his life as a so­
cial outcast in
race-conscious
Japan. In it he admits to the
slaying, but says it was due to
an “emotional complex”
from
years of
discrimination as an
Ainu.
Similar in some ways to the
American Indian, the Ainu are
an indigenous people, who, over
the years, have seen their num­
bers diminished and their lands
taken from them by force.
There was Ainu
population
estimated at
between 500,000
and several million in the 17th
Century. Now, living mainly on
the island of Hokkaido, only 18,000 remain. Most now are
of

fight, at the age of 19, cost him
a five-year term in a reforma­
tory while the other man, a pu­
re Japanese, was set
free, he
says.
In. and out of jail, the 38-year
old Hashine has had a variety
of jobs. After quitting school, he
began as a beggar at 10
and
graduated to petty
gangster
status at 13.
He was a construction worker
in Tokyo and a clown and ele­
phant keeper with a traveling
circus. But his job often ended
with a racially based incident,
he says.
A. friend said that every time
Hashine tried to resist, he was
“pushed down,

got a complex.”

mixed blood.
Like the -American
Indian,
manv are forced to eke out an
existence as a tourist attraction
— making and selling souvenirs
or performing native dances.
“Yes, I murdered my friend,”
Hashine says. “But you Japane­
se remember that your ancest­
ors massacred my people. My
only desire is that you will re­
member that when you hear the
word ‘Ainu’.’,
Hashine says his friend called
him an Ainu in an
insulting
way. Infuriated, he stabbed him
fatally with a knife.
In his book, Hashine describes
other fights — dating back to
primary school -— and all igni­
ted by a racial slur. One such

While few Japanese admit to
a race problem in Japan, Harbi­
ne’s book and a new awareness
among Ainu in Hokkaido show
a different picture.
A statue of an Ainu man de­
picted kneeling, thought patro­
nizing by some, was dynamited.
In 1973, for the first time,
the Ainu community organized
two national conventions. Discri­
mination in Japanese
society
and the
commercializiation of
the Ainu culture by the tourist
industry were discussed.
Hashine, whose appeals court
decision verdict is expected next
spring, says he feels
safer in
jail than outside.
“It’s heaven in comparison,”
he wrote from his prison cell.

for a comeback and it appea­
red that the fans
would be
treated to an exciting finish.

During’ the first two periods
Turf played tight defensive hoc­
key combined with opportunistic
offensive play to take a 3 — 0
lead and a 5 — 1 lead on the
series. Glen Sora, Brian Kita­
mura and John Ebata were the
Turf marksmen.
However, to their credit Ya­
mada did not quit. And early
in the third period, Dave Oka­
mura on a perfect set-up from
Ray Suginomori -and then Ted
Hayashi brought
Yamada to
within two goals. But the ensu­
ing brawl effectively ended any
aspirations the studio men may
have had.
In comparison the, Urabe In­
surance— Japan Camera semi­
final was a sedate affair. Ura­
be, of course carried a 5 —■ 2
lead into this game
and this
proved to be too much for Ja­
pan to overcome.
Japan did enjoy the edge in
play during the first period but
any chances they had of whit­
tling down Urabe’s- lead
were
foiled by the steady. goaltending
of Bill Latimer.
Then in the second period af­
ter Danny Higashi won a face­
off deep in Japan territory, No­
rm Ichiyen picked up the loose
puck and his quick backhand ga­
ve Urabe a 1 \—- 0 lead. .This
was for all intents^ and purpo­
ses th© goal which, relegated Ja­

pan Camera to the sidelines.
Gary Nasu who was without
doubt Japan Camera’s best per­
former finally put the camera­
man on the board in the-third
