 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
We met only one Japanese whom we really liked, a Miss Ito. She was young and beautiful, and lived with a well-known anarchist, by whom she had a son. Dora said to her: 'Are you not afraid that the authorities will do something to you?' She drew her hand across her throat, and said: 'I know they will do that sooner or later.'

* a brief comment
Many Koreans were massacred by mobs during the turmoil of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and Noe Ito, along with his mistress Sakae Osugi (an anarchist), was taken to military police headquarters on 16 September 1922 by the military police led by Captain Amakasu, and strangled to death. The incident was dramatised and broadcast on NHK-BS in 2022 under the title Kaze yo Arashi yo.
