Living Q & A: I want to apply to have my husband, in police custody, released on bail外国人暮らしのQ&A「夫が警察に逮捕された。拘留中なので保釈を請求したい」

My husband was arrested for being in possession of illegal drugs. At first, I had the duty lawyer visit him. My
husband is still in custody, and I hope to have him released on parole. But when I consulted a lawyer, I wastold it would cost around 2 million yen. What should I do?
When an accused person under indictment (kiso / 起訴) by a public prosecutor (kensatsukan / 検察官) and in custody (kōryū/ 拘留) is released on condition of payment of a bond, maintaining the efficacy of custody while having the enforcement ofdetention suspended, this is known as hoshaku (保釈), or bail.
Release on bail can be applied for when the suspect (higisha / 被疑者) in a criminal case (keiji-jiken / 刑事事件) has been arrested,
sent to the prosecutor, indicted and is being held in custody awaiting trial (saiban / 裁判). There is no system for applying for bailbefore the suspect has been indicted.
Persons able to apply for bail are the accused individual themselves or their lawyer (bengoshi / 弁護士), a legal representative(hōteidairinin / 法定代理人), a curator (hosanin / 保佐人), a spouse (haigūsha / 配偶者), or a direct blood relative or sibling of
the accused.
Hoshaku requires payment of a bond (hoshōkin / 保証金). The amount of the bond is determined by the court after consideration of such factors as the seriousness of the crime, the financial situation of the accused, and the living conditions of theaccused. In many cases, the amount of the bond is between 1.5 million and 3 million yen. If bail is not revoked and the bondforfeited, the bond will be returned to the payer upon completion of court proceedings, regardless of whether the defendant isfound guilty or innocent.
If you are unable to gather sufficient funds for the bond yourself, you might consider consulting the Japan Bail Support
Association (Nihon Hoshaku Shien Kyōkai / 日本保釈支援協会), an organization which makes temporary payment on behalf of
those seeking bail. It's a good idea to discuss bail with the lawyer who will represent the defendant in court.

Nagoya in Wartime
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, in August 1945. Although
the global conflict is considered to have begun in 1939 with events in Europe, for the Japanese people
the summer of 1945 saw the close of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) and the Pacific War(1941-1945). Some in Japan even refer to this period as the 15-Year War.
In the seven and a half decades since, the generation who experienced the war has become fewer, andfor younger generations the war is summed up in words such as Nanjing, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
But Nagoya and Aichi, like countless other places in Japan, have their own wartime stories to tell.
Looking at the city that developed after the war, it is difficult to imagine what life must have been like inwartime Nagoya. This issue, we take a brief look at the war in Nagoya, from some museums where you
can get a glimpse of everyday life in wartime Nagoya through a diverse variety of artifacts, to remnantsof the former military presence, and the air raids that changed the face of the city.

such items as clothing worn by military personnel and civilians,

the bombs functioned and photos of the ensuing devastation. The

Brick wall, former Third Division Headquarters, Naka Wardthe Third Division, whichbecame part of the expeditionary force dispatched to Shanghai. On 23
August 1937, the Third Division began landing at Wusong, near Shanghai.
During four months of fighting around
Shanghai, 994 troops in the division's Sixth
Infantry Regiment died and 1,931 were
wounded.
The Third Division would go on to fight in otherparts of China up to the end of the war. In
1944, the division's 18th Infantry Regiment was
dispatched to the Mariana Islands, where mostof the officers and troops died on Saipan andGuam.
Among the reminders of the division's presence
in Nagoya are a red brick wall on the northwestside of the Ninomaru (二の丸) intersection, near
the Main Gate of Nagoya Castle. The Third
Division Headquarters was located on the other
Memorial to Military Horses, Dogs andside of the wall.

Air raids

空襲
Nagoya has long been a center of industry,
with textile and ceramic production once
being the Tokai region’s main industries. In
the early 20th century, with Japan’s
development as a military power, a numberof companies began to produce munitions
and aircraft, and Aichi became the hub ofJapan’s aircraft manufacturing. The
concentration of munitions and aircraft
factories saw Nagoya and Aichi marked astargets for aerial bombardment, with the first
air raid on Nagoya on 13 December 1944,
continuing through to the end of the war inAugust 1945. Initially, bombing was directed
at facilities involved in aircraft production, but
Back cover, Shufu no Tomo July 1944
was extended to include the firebombing ofSummary of how children should respondwhen they hear an air raid siren
urban areas, and, later, bombing of other(Aichi-Nagoya War Archives)
locations around Nagoya.
It was during a firebombing raid on 14 May 1945 that the original Nagoya
Castle (the first castle to be designated a National Treasure) was destroyed. A
famous photograph shows huge flares of flame leaping into the dark skyfrom the burning main keep, yet this particular raid by around 470 B29
bombers, which dropped around 2,500 tons of incendiary bombs on thenorthern part of the city, occurred at around 8am. Purple flames are said tohave been seen as the copper used on the roof of the castle burned, andmany placed their palms together and prayed as the local symbol collapsed.
Nagoya and other cities in the Tokai area were also used as test targets for theatomic bombings. The Enola Gay, which dropped the Little Boy bomb over
Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, dropped a 'pumpkin bomb' of similar weightand dimensions to the Fat Man (Nagasaki) bomb over the Yagoto area in
Showa Ward on 26 July.
By the end of the war, 9,783 tons of mostly incendiary bombs had been
dropped on Nagoya, second in tonnage to Tokyo (10,039 tons).
Although the air raids ended with the war, unexploded bombs are stilloccasionally unearthed, causinga brief disruption to everyday
life. Most recently, an
unexploded bomb found on 6
June 2019 prompted theevacuation of 2,100
households in Chikusa andShowa wards and thesuspension of service on the
Subway Sakura-dori Line when
the device was disposed of on
Antiaircraft gun battery ruins, Kasadera
23 June.
Park, Minami Ward

Walking about 400 meters directly south from the Ninomaru
intersection takes one to Hommachi Bridge. Between the moat and thestone wall on the east side of the bridge, one can see another reminderof the 3rd Division, a memorial to the horses, dogs and pigeons thatserved with the Third Division, erected in 1939.
Another remnant of the Third Division can be found in Minamichita
Town, near the tip of the Chita Peninsula, where 92 statues of soldiers
are kept at the Nakanoin Temple (中之院). During the war, some families
of deceased soldiers had concrete or stone statues made as memorials
and gravestones, using photographs as a reference, funded by aone-off condolence payment that was made to families of the fallen.
According to the information board, these statues originally stood in
Tsukigaoka, Chikusa Ward, and most are likenesses of members of theThird Division Sixth Infantry Regiment who died during the amphibious
landings at Wusong in 1937.
When occupation forces ordered the destruction of the statues after
the war, a Buddhist priest defiantly retorted,'Soldiers dying for their countries is nodifferent in Japan than America. Destroying
those statues is impossible for Japanesepeople. If you insist that they be destroyed,then you can go ahead and do it yourselves,after you've shot and killed us.'Thus, the statues remain to this day, and arestill visited by family members and relatives.
There are 111 such statues remaining acrossAichi Prefecture, including one of a female
mobilized student.

Air Raid Memorial

空襲跡の碑
On 9 June 1945, a large-scale
air raid was directed at the
Ichiban district and the areaaround Shirotori Bridge,
where a number of factories
producing materiel werelocated. More than 2,000
lives were lost in the raid,
with many residents of the surrounding area and young students
mobilized to work in the area's factories among them. This piece of theconcrete embankment from the right side of the Horikawa River fromdownstream of the Shirotori Bridge bears scarring said to have been
inflicted by shrapnel from the bombs dropped during this raid. It wasremoved in 1994 as part of repair work on the riverbank, but thissection was installed as a memorial monument on the Chitose
Promenade (千年プロムナード), along the Horikawa River.

Chubby Small Animals Exhibition 2020 in
Nagoya
まるっと小動物展 2020 in 名古屋

The Japanese title of thisexhibition is Marutto
Shōdōbutsu Ten. In the Tokai
region, the expression 'marutto,'
means 'whole,' or 'entirety.'('Maru' means 'circle'; theadjective 'marui' means 'round.')
The definition of 'shōdōbutsu'('small animals') is vague, but
broadly covers such creatures asrabbits, small birds, penguins,and so on. This exhibition is thus
named in the hope that visitors
will enjoy a broad spectrum ofsmall animals in their entirety
through the works presented,
along with the 'roundness' thatcharacterises so many little
creatures.
There will also be a variety of handmade goods, including
embroidered accessories and felt art, and other items to purchase.
Plus, visitors will receive an original postcard filled with soothingcuteness.

第35回外国人芸術作品展

As stated in the July issue of the Nagoya Calendar, NIC
has given the go-ahead for another Foreign Artists
Exhibition (FAE) in November this year (November 3 - 8).
Organizers CJIS, as usual, are looking for painters,
printers, photographers, potters (especially potters),
multi-media artists of all types, sculptors, and computer
graphic artists to exhibit their artwork in thislong-running, ever-popular event which has been held
annually in the 4th floor Exhibition Room at NIC since
1986.
Interested individuals can download an Application
form and updated Guidelines from the FAE webpage athttps://bit.ly/315ldzF or email directly tonagoyafae@hotmail.com . As in other years, all FAE
34 artists will automatically receive the application form
and guidelines by mail.
It must be emphasized that, due to the coronavirus pandemic and its aftermath, social distancing and other regulations will be inoperation throughout the exhibition. Such regulations prohibit the consumption of food and drink inside the exhibition room. There canbe no opening ceremony, "coffee corner", or closing party this year. FAE 35 will therefore be a greatly simplified event, compared toother years. The updated Guidelines will include comprehensive information for all artists concerning the regulations.
Naturally, the status of FAE 35 will depend on the situation with the coronavirus, and the event may be subject tofurther changes or cancellation. Artists will of course be informed by email, immediately.

Inquiries: Please email the Central Japan International Society at nagoyafae@hotmail.com
