Kyōko Asanuma

“Inejirō Asanuma”

“Warm and prolonged applause greeted Kyoko Asanuma when she took the floor.”

“Financially, things have not been easy. My wife has endured this kind of life remarkably well. [...] While always feeling grateful for my wife’s support and cooperation, I continue to devote myself fully to my work, wondering when the day will finally come when we can have a day of rest together in our shared life.”

“I feel that Asanuma's spirit is alive and has become the common possession of the Japanese and Chinese peoples.”

“I first learned of Yamaguchi’s suicide this morning through the newspaper. Rather than feeling hatred toward the boy, I feel more pity for him. My anger is burning up from the bottom of my heart once again toward the unseen forces that instilled such dangerous ideas into a 17-year-old boy and drove him to commit assassination.”

“Is this apartment a train station?”
