Peace entry of Taishukan's Genius English - Japanese Dictionary. Funnily encouraging name for a dictionary, isn't it? It's the top student dictionary, for those who are studying hard to go to university.
I'm posting this to my blog to tell my readers about this group.
August is the month when Japanese people remember the war, and I'm now translating a 1945 US Treasury film, My Japan. I'm not old enough to remember 1945, nor my parents are, don't actually know what the Japanese people believed, or at least told, and don't know much about how the West saw this country - my Japan, but anyway, seeing the anti-Japan propaganda film, I find the fundamental logic has not changed. And the logic, and language in there too, is not for peace. It's for war.
I personally acknowledge Japan's war crimes, I'm no fan of our prime minister, and I'm not going to justify the WW II, it was a wrong thing to do, but still, it was something we can learn from.

From one of the biggest English - Japanese Dictionary, Kenkyusha's .
If there is peace in a country or in the world, there are no wars or violent conflicts going on.
