<2022-06-25T15:27:51.000Z> gumchum: 第一群は二つの系統より成立して居る。第一は子どものに該当し、第二は茅山式と呼ばれるものに略…我々の知る範囲では子母口貝塚に於て主として発……他甑古式土器と混じて、その小破片がごく稀れぎまい。国貝塚から発見する土器は、比較的少ない…　完成品を発見しないが大形の破片より推定すれ
<2022-06-25T15:53:38.000Z> didymus: How are you able to do it? Do you just know Japanese that well and identify the characters by sight and consulting reference works? Unfortunately I have waaaaay too much of this to ask you to help me with it: between 1000 and 2000 pages of this stuff
<2022-06-25T16:06:37.000Z> didymus: What this comes from is mid-to-late-war investigation of Japanese racial-political geopolitics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Investigation_of_Global_Policy_with_the_Yamato_Race_as_Nucleus
<2022-06-25T16:07:37.000Z> didymus: This has never been read in English and it has a lot of potential if we could get it translated, even insofar as to look for selections, rather than the entire text, that would be worth publishing
<2022-06-25T16:10:34.000Z> didymus: I think the overall view of the japanese at that time, as the superior race of asia, destined to liberate asia from western colonialism and set up an integrated economic bloc, has theoretic potential for our situation today. at any rate, nobody has looked at this and I thought it would be worthwhile. but I'
<2022-06-25T16:10:41.000Z> didymus: m stuck until you came along
<2022-06-25T20:51:19.000Z> gumchum: Pretty much and I can ask friends/colleagues when there are characters I don't know. Oh boy, this is one hell of a project you're undertaking!!! I'm just happy there's some way for me to contribute to your work Didymus. After all the value I've received from the research on your channel I'm delighted for the opportunity to assist you with your work.
<2022-06-25T20:52:07.000Z> gumchum: After a rudimentary search of 大和民族を中核とする世界政策の検討 I was able to find the 2nd & 3rd Volumes from this archive dl.ndl.go.jp/ and holy shit this is a treasure trove. I've been interested in finding primary sources on what the Japanese attitude towards the Jews were for a very long time.
<2022-06-25T20:55:25.000Z> gumchum: How about I start with translating the table of contents first, then you can let me know which chapters to prioritize? 
<2022-06-26T04:45:30.000Z> didymus: archive.org/details/YRN_V3_Contents
<2022-06-26T04:45:31.000Z> didymus: archive.org/details/YRN_V2_Contents
<2022-06-26T04:45:59.000Z> didymus: In case that's helpful, I think those are the contents of those two books which you already found. I got them from the same source last year
<2022-06-26T04:50:05.000Z> didymus: We'll say that this step is a feasibility study of the project, and if we make it to publication we will split any profits 50/50. If either of us has to stop working on it for any reason, no hard feelings either way. Is that OK with you?
<2022-06-26T10:20:39.000Z> gumchum: That's more than fair. My only contention to your terms would be the profit share. I would very much like to do this free of charge. I've been looking to contribute to what you, Germ, SoNo & Pat have been undertaking in any way I materially can and this is the perfect opportunity. 
<2022-06-26T10:21:47.000Z> gumchum: I'll begin with the 2nd volumes toc aiming for the end of the week then we can proceed in earnest from there.
<2022-06-26T15:10:01.000Z> didymus: Please take your time and work on this only when it suits you; I have a couple of projects currently going but both are almost finished
<2022-06-26T15:10:23.000Z> didymus: And do I know you under any other names, like from youtube or elsewhere?
<2022-07-05T12:25:50.000Z> gumchum: Hi Didymus, sorry for the long absence I got right into it and got a bit overwhelmed lol. Do you have a throwaway email account I can send the transcriptions docs too?
<2022-07-05T12:33:00.000Z> gumchum: To answer your question, I doubt you know me. I used to frequent Norvin Hobbs channel way back when before Pat setup Waffen Haus. I found your works after your guest appearance on JF and then revisited it after you did a show with Zoltanous.
<2022-07-07T02:59:24.000Z> didymus: Sorry I somehow cleared the message notification popup without seeing your replies!
<2022-07-07T02:59:43.000Z> didymus: You can email me at didemos@mailfence.com
