Of minor interest:
“As they keep blaming themselves for business failure, saying, ‘I’ve done wrong’ or ‘I’ve caused trouble to society,’ that totally impairs their judgment,” says Hisao Sato who started a suicide prevention program in 2002 in Akita city, some 720 miles north of Tokyo. The region is notorious for being home to the highest suicide rates.I've been within 80 km or so of Akita quite a few times but never visited it. I am told there is not much there, but it is such a lonely looking corner of the country I've always felt it would welcome my presence as an international tourist. It is also close to a Marian apparition, complete with weeping statue. (Mind you, we briefly had one of those in a Brisbane suburb a few years ago, and I went and had a look. I think I have mentioned that before.)
