Three years have already passed since we published the first series of Exploration of Devil Caves and imposed great sanctions on Japanese-owned cave folks across the Canadian interior. The past three years were short and, at the same time, long. In those years the situation of devil caves went through a considerable change.
The continuous upward trend of development is not limited to Vancouver alone. The entirety of British Columbia and Alberta over the Rockies have shown a tremendous growth. We might worry whether caves have also developed along with the general upward trend but this should not be of great concern. Publication of Exploration of Devil Caves deflated some of the underground leaders who finally convinced themselves that the game was over and it is not worth holding on. Some shut their businesses down in Nelson or Cranbrook and left for Japan. No growth is possible when the leaders are backing away. Now, most readers may jump to the conclusion that the caves will diminish year after year but that is absolutely not the case, either.
The reason why we decided to launch the second series is because those prostitution businesses have their successors. Japan has its unique family system, which can cause a number of problems but is also serving as a great foundation for national morals. People work hard not to shame their family name or extinguish their family. There is filial piety and faith. But when they are applied to caves that is another story. Cave successors are urged to protect and continue existing businesses and even straight men jump into the mud of immorality and contaminate their legs. This is outrageously impudent as Japanese. In fact, these successors used to be admirable workers, being engaged in straight jobs at a sawmill or elsewhere three years ago. But many fell into the position of underground leaders today. We cannot nonchalantly wait and see whether a saying proves to be truth: sands on the shore may end, seeds of the cave will not. Granted, seeds of the cave may continue to exist given the social and cultural condition of the world but Japanese-run caves are worth a hundred harms and no good. If we wish for a healthy growth of fellow Japanese, the presence of the devils is our enemy. Interior caves are not developing but transforming. Their situation has changed considerably and this change does not allow pretermission. It is the time for another great sanction.
