This is the second of Sugie FusazÅ s maps to include a panorama of the city (more specifically the Bund), and the first to depict the bund from across the Huangpu River, a convention coped on the 1932 Cross House map (Shanghai-crosshouse-1932), and one that would be followed in many later editions of the map. The map focus is on the extraterritorial Foreign Concessions huddled around the confluence of the Hunagpu River (Whangpoo) and Soochow Creek (Suzhou). The Japanese area is highlighted in orange, the British in red, the American in Pink, and the large separate French Concession in Yellow.

I was completely dumbfounded and infuriated as I saw on TV that a Harvard Law School professor was talking about his academic journal article on Korean comfort women during World War II. He maintained that they were hired prostitutes who signed contracts, although no written evidence had been presented to support the claim. He denied forced sex-slavery committed by the Imperial Japanese Army. It was absolute nonsense!
Considering his being a pro-Japanese scholar, I presumed that his research for the article had been tampered with and meddled in by the crafty Japanese government. Therefore, I think that the paper is nothing but cheap, deceitful and misleading academic writing which seems to have been devised under co-authorship of the Japanese government and an American professor ― in favor of the Japanese government s narrative.
Boston’s Korean American community was already reeling, Linda Champion said.
Racist attacks tied to the pandemic were sparking fear within Asian American circles, and Champion, a Black and Korean attorney, said those in the Korean American community had been talking about how they could keep one another safe.
Then in late February, they got wind of a paper from a Harvard University law professor that had angered Korean American students on campus, Champion said. Written by J. Mark Ramseyer, a professor who specializes in Japanese law, the paper argues that Korean women enslaved by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II had chosen to become sex workers, or as the Japanese euphemistically referred to them, “comfort women.”
