The document discusses the effects of Westernization and democratization on Japanese society over the past 200 years. It argues that Japan will regret opening itself up to these foreign influences, as they will erase traditional Japanese values and culture. Within a few generations, there will be "nothing original left" in Japan, just as happened to ancient Western societies after Christianization. The document notes how Western ideals of equality and democracy have led to the rise of socialism and communism in Japan. It predicts that the unique aspects of Japanese culture will continue to be lost as Western liberal ideas spread further into the country.
