We, as a creator of images, should not edit our publication in a way that would reinforce the ideal image of beauty built on lopsided ideas. We will make suggestions also for diet and health.

Who wants to be the first judge to order a crying child to be taken away from a crying Japanese mother and sent overseas? Nobody. When we talk about family law in Japan today, there really isn't any.
