== Criticism ==
When talking about the [[comfort women]] issue being taught about in schools, Sakurai insists "all the textbooks...assume 'taken by force' as a major premise; however,...it is my conviction that (the women) were not 'taken by force.'" For Sakurai, Japan's (hi)story needs to be told from the Japanese perspective, that is, a perspective through which the younger generation come to love the nation. <ref> {{cite web
