Contemporary Japanese Artist (Transcendental Skyline and Buddhism)

Contemporary Japanese Artist (Transcendental Skyline and Buddhism) Lee Jay Walker Modern Tokyo Times Sawako Utsumi is a contemporary Japanese artist who frequently pays homage to both Japanese and European masters.

Mali and JNIM Islamists: Sahel Crisis

Mali and JNIM Islamists: Sahel Crisis Boutros Hussain, Michiyo Tanabe, and Lee Jay Walker Modern Tokyo Times The Sahel region has endured prolonged upheaval for many years. Yet the internal political convulsions shaking Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger — revolving around democracy, military rule, Islamist insurgency, ethnic tension, and entrenched cronyism —now appear to be eroding the very fabric of these nations to an even greater degree....

Romania Hit by Russian Drone: EU and NATO Bias

Romania Hit by Russian Drone: EU and NATO Bias Kanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay Walker Modern Tokyo Times The European Union (EU) and several NATO powers appear to be overplaying the recent Russian drone strike that hit Romania. While the seriousness of the incident — which injured two people — should not be dismissed, it must also be viewed with greater balance because Ukrainian drones have likewise struck several nations by mistake during the conflict....

Israel Pushes Further into Lebanon Security Zone (US Restraint) Kanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay Walker Modern Tokyo Times Screenshot Lebanon’s government and armed forces remain embarrassingly overshadowed by Hezbollah — a “state within a state” that prioritizes the strategic designs of Iran over national cohesion.
