Addresses of Immigration Bureau INTRODUCTION The following summary of Japanese immigration regulations is provided to give you basic information about your non-immigrant visa status. Be sure to read carefully the sections below that apply to you. Please remember that it is your responsibility to know and follow the regulations under which you may study on stay in Japan. If you have any questions, call or come the Student Exchange Division. An advisor will answer yours questions or refer you to an appropriate office or agency for information. ACQUISITION OF RESIDENT STATUS ACQUISITION OF RESIDENT STATUS An applicant applies for visa by himself/herself directly to the Japanese diplomatic mission abroad (Japanese Embassy or Consulate) based on the notice of entrance permission issued by the University. Any person residing in Japan who has a contact with the applicant ( e.g. , personnel of the University, person who bears the applicant's school expenses or living expenses, or his/her relative) applies for visa on his/her behalf to Regional Immigration Bureau of Ministry of Justice also based on the notice of entrance permission. The former way, requires considerable time to complete the investigation, therefore, it is recommended to take the latter method in case of limited time available for entrance procedures. By taking this way, unless there is particular problem, "Certificate of Eligibility for Status of Residence" is issued within a few weeks after the application by the proxy. The applicant, having received such certificate by airmail from the proxy, may submit his/her passport to the Japanese diplomatic mission together with the certificate and can obtain his/her entry visa within a few days.

105. Bureaucrats, Politicians, And Policy Change In Japan Examines a hypothetical model of policymaking by focusing on the relationship between the transition of political power between government agencies and the subsequent policy changes in the process of administrative reform in the 1990s. http://www.japanesestudies.org.uk/discussionpapers/Kamikubo.html

Discussion Paper 7 in 2003 in the electronic journal of contemporary japanese studies First published in ejcjs on 4 November 2003 Search ejcjs Bureaucrats, Politicians, and Policy Change in Japan by Masato Kamikubo PhD Candidate Department of Politics and International Studies University of Warwick e-mail the Author About the Author Introduction The objective of this paper is to examine a hypothetical model of the Japanese policy-making process by focusing on the relationship between the transition of political power between government agencies and the subsequent policy changes in the process of administrative reform in the 1990s. The main argument put forward is that, in the Japanese policy-making process, politicians and bureaucrats interact with each other, and that the transition of power relations between government agencies is influenced by the consequences of conflicts between politicians and results in major policy changes. This paper is divided into three parts. First, the objectives of this paper, previous studies of the Japanese policy-making process, and a theoretical framework will be explained. Second, our hypothetical model of the Japanese policy-making process will be presented. Third, in order to prove our model, a case study, “The Transition of Political Power between the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) over the Issue of Taxation System Reform in the 1990s” will be examined.

110. JPRI Working Paper No. 76 Essay delves into corruption in japan's government ministries and police. http://www.jpri.org/publications/workingpapers/wp76.html

JPRI Working Paper No. 76, April 2001 Bureaucratic Corruption in Japan by David T. Johnson There is a persistent myth in Japanese studies that politicians are dirty but bureaucrats are clean. Though bureaucrats have been involved in all of the major post-war scandals and have been the primary culprits in many, the myth persists. Steven R. Reed1 Nonsense is hard to stomach, no matter who dishes it out, but it is especially distasteful when disingenuously offered up by a government in the guise of an official report. Japan's Foreign Ministry ( Gaimusho ) recently issued such a report, on a senior official's embezzlement of huge sums from a secret fund ostensibly designed to help diplomats build relations with foreign countries. The official, Katsutoshi Matsuo, headed the Gaimusho's Overseas Visit Support Division between October 1993 and August 1999, where he helped organize trips by prime-ministers, diplomats, and other high-ranking governmental officials. But Matsuo routinely deposited secret Gaimusho funds in his personal bank accounts, from which he then paid for his own trips and trysts with various mistresses. He also purchased eight golf club memberships, five of which together cost 43 million yen, fifteen racehorses for some 140 million yen, and a luxury condominium in Tokyo's Bunkyo ward for a mere 80 million yen. Until his arrest in late January, 2001, Matsuo had obviously been living beyond his salaried means.

The postcard and album were given to his brother, Dewey Patterson, sometime after the war. He gave each one of his brothers and a sister a war souvenir. Earnest drowned in 1947 while attempting to rescue other marines during a training accident during the filming of a "John Wayne Movie" in CA.

RESPONSE OF THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT Undocumented foreigners are entitled under international law to the same basic human rights protections as all other individuals. These rights include the right to be free from slavery-like practices and forced labor, the right to be free from torture and other cruel or degrading treatment, the right to a fair trial, and the right to freedom from discrimination. These rights are also guaranteed under the Japanese Constitution and reflected in domestic legislation. Yet, in practice, women trafficked from Thailand into Japan's sex industry are rarely afforded such protections. High-ranking Japanese officials have acknowledged trafficking as a persistent and large-scale problem, but the government has yet to make a serious effort to address the abuses connected with it.
