   Why the Japanese banker was hung up?
   From Tokyo the message on the next suicide of the large has come
The financier. Recently such cases become more and more frequent.
   The FORMER vice-president of the Japanese bank of long-term credits was
It is found hung up on a belt from bannogo a dressing gown in number of one of the Tokyo
Hotels. On a scene the police has found out an agonal note
59-year-old Takasi Uehara. According to the banker, to it does not remain anything
Another, except how to commit suicide.
   The Japanese bank of long-term credits played a key role in
To credit and financial system of the country. As well as other similar establishments, it
It has appeared on the verge of bankruptcy in connection with a problem so-called "bad
Credits ", or easier speaking - bad debts.
   Past decade, when the foreign trade gain of the Country of the ascending
The sun annually exceeded 100 billion dollars, the Japanese banks received from
It huge inflow of liquid means. However they were put not
It is so much in real economy, how much in speculative transactions with the valuable
Papers and the real estate. The hypertrophied growth of share price, the prices on
The ground areas has received the name "economy of a soap bubble".
   Commercial banks carelessly distributed credits for such
Operations. The sum of similar debts grew twice faster, than valovyj
Internal product of the country. Having thought suddenly on an example of "the Asian dragons",
What is it the way to crisis, the Central bank of Japan has sharply changed a policy.
"The soap bubble" has burst. Excessive crediting of 80th years has turned
For banks in heavy burden of "bad credits", or bad debts.
The real estate serving by pledge at registration of credits, has repeatedly fallen
In the price. While to the United States of 90th years have brought all-time
Long economic lifting, for Japan this decade became
The period of the longest after recession war.
   So, a situation because of which has committed suicide Takasi Uehara,
It is typical enough. The management of its bank tried to hide from
The public and the state the true sum of not returned credits,
Which exceeds 100 billion dollars. Uehara was under examination on
To suspicion, that bypassing existing rules continued to pay
To shareholders dividends, on what has been last time illegally spent
59 million dollars.
   Japanese banker Takasi Uehara has committed suicide, having appeared before
Unsoluble dilemma: as to the bank which has got to a trouble to provide dividends
To shareholders to pay off with investors and to pay taxes to the state?
   I will add, that suicides of businessmen long since were in Japan
Business not rare, it is possible even to tell - seasonal. For inhabitants of the Country
Rising sun New year every time not only opens in life books
Blank page. It also serves as a certain psychological threshold, for which
It is impossible to transfer the outstanding promises, not paid debts. In
Prenew Year's weeks people should hurry. Why inevitably
The number of accidents - both road and transport, and vital is multiplied.
   Even police patrols at deep craters of volcanoes are powerless
Completely to prevent attempts of those who has not managed in time to pay off
Under an abacus also has decided to settle scores with a life in especially Japanese way:
To rush headfirst from breakage.
   The debt not only financial can push the Japanese to suicide.
In days of correspondent job in Tokyo I was close familiar with
The head of one of the antinuclear student's organisations. His father,
The retired admiral, which grandfather once ordered a cruiser in Tsusimsky
To fight, supervised over fire protection of Iokogamsky port. When one has lighted up
From warehouses, the former military seaman heroically supervised over suppression,
Thanks to TV about its selflessness all country has learnt. But on
Trouble happens so, that in a distant corner of a warehouse boxes with a paint have blown up and
Two firemen were lost.
   For other day a retired admiral to whom did not threaten criminal,
Even administrative responsibility, has retired to the office and
Has made a hara-kiri on all canons samurajskogo the code busido. In
To the son he has written to an agonal note, that does not divide its pacifistic
Belief, but hopes, that the young man will be correct to family traditions of honour and
Debt. It should pay off for б destruction of two subordinates with the own
Life...
   The Japanese business, as well as everyone another, does not do without a deceit,
Forgery, corruption and other negative phenomena. And nevertheless the unwritten
Traditions of the Japanese business testify, that such concepts,
As honour and a debt, were not monopoly of nobility and have left in the past in п Iп 
Century. A debt and the honour understood, how feeling of responsibility for consequences
The actions for other people, demand readiness to expiate fault - in
Special cases even by a life.
   It is convinced, that would be an error to consider such moral categories,
As honour and a debt, too old-fashioned for a century of computer science and globalisation
Business. They sosluzhili good service and more only the formed
To the Russian business ethics. After all when the personal insult was required
To wash off blood on duel, people concerned the words more responsibly and
To acts.
