He’s now the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

Koshi has always stood out. She recalls speaking up a lot in class as a child—something that is uncommon in the country. “There’s a popular saying in Japan: ‘The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.’ In Japan, doing things differently than others is a bad thing,” she says. “I just did what I really wanted to do, and I didn’t compare myself to other people.”

For the more than 340,000 residents of Otsu City, though, that viewpoint was invaluable. Ayako Toshinaga, a lawyer, moved to Otsu City from the neighboring city Kusatsu in 2015 be- cause she couldn’t find a nursery for her baby in Kusatsu. “I love my job, so I wanted to go back to work,” Toshinaga says.Join the Leadership Brief

Great👍

The women there seem to be freely choosing to live their life according to their own values. Why use the power of governmental force to take that freedom away from them?

Japan ranked 121st out of 153 countries in the Global Gender Gap Report 2020

I wish good luck Mrs Naomi Koshi 🇯🇵👏Great respect from 🇵🇱 🕊️

Diversity in Japan is about providing rights to anyone not Japanese. Maybe they should think about that as an exporting country. I found Japan disgracefully racist.

good luck cause you will need it
