What "Sakano ueno kumo" teaches us

Recently, a drama "Sakano ueno kumo" is broadcasting.
The novel was written by Shiba Ryotaro, one of Japanese famous writers.
It was historical novel about Japanese-Russo War 1904.

Some people confuse that this novel admire Japanese win of the war.
He tried to find the cause why Japan won the war and lose next World-war 2.
Fundamentally Japanese had persisted the success until our critical failure in WW2. It is difficult for human to throw away their successful experiences and to face with miserable reality.

Nowadays, we are in a same situation.
After WW2, Japan was in remarkable high-growth period. Once Japanese high-growth system was made a lion of. However, now Japan cannot recover from economical shrink, while other countries tried to find new growth way.

Maybe it is a time to throw away our successful experiences in 1950's and to accept miserable reality that our country become shrink gradually.
We should learn our history more.

I like this novel, so I read twice. In my policy, I don't read a same book twice until I value the book more.
