Responding to the display of a girl image expressing comfort women, he criticized Takashi Kawamura and other mayors of Nagoya who asked for cancellation as “there was a lack of understanding of the importance of freedom of expression”. The statement dated 11th and pointed out that "freedom of expression is essential for a democratic society that presupposes the existence of people of various ideas." Mr. Kawamura and Mr. Tatsumi also mentioned the remarks of the two-day conference that Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshiyoshi Tsuji stated that he would like to "confirm the facts and scrutinize and respond appropriately" regarding the grant of the country to the art festival. “I want to ban and suppress just because I do n’t like it”.
