Author: Masahiko Tajima Publisher: Shobunsha First Edition: April 20, 1985; 9th Printing: December 10, 1992 Price (including tax): ¥1,600 (Current: ¥1,815) 195 x 155mm, 242 pages ☆ No noticeable stains, scratches, or writing. Top edge has yellowing and minor soiling. ◇ In good condition with little sign of use or wear. [With cover, no obi. Fading on the cover's spine due to sun exposure] This is an essay collection, following "Kuchitanban Nonnonki," that chronicles daily life and work in Murogawara, Yagi Town. It was serialized in the monthly magazine "Haha no Tomo" (Mother's Friend) for three years starting in 1982. As the author's children grew, he became more involved in the field of education. He eventually became the chairman of the Yositomi Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), and in this role, he began to confront issues of school education and human rights. It was a time when schools were beginning to be disrupted by violence, and the combination of progressive human rights education and conservative management education was making schools increasingly restrictive. The author participated in local Buraku Liberation Practice Exchange Meetings and Buraku Liberation Study Groups, and he naturally became involved in discrimination issues. However, the school's approach to issues concerning people with disabilities and the *dowa* (Buraku) people, rather than creating an environment where people could interact equally with each other, embracing their individual personalities, instead enforced equality through rules, which caused the author to feel a sense of discomfort. The title, "The King is Walking Naked," is a statement directed at the formalism of the educational environment, which only emphasizes superficial rules and management. In this sequel, Rev. Toshio Koizumi of Kyoden-ji Temple in Sonobe Town, who was the principal of Shinjo Elementary School, which was in the school district next to Yositomi Elementary School at the time, plays an active role.
