Disappointed at the casino...Prince Hisahito showed his "true 16-year-old face" at the "cultural festival"

"Wow! What a shame!"

From the casino room, the boys' voices of disappointment were heard. The "Kiin Festival", the cultural festival of Tsukuba University High School, was held on September 10-11. Prince Hisahito, the eldest son of the Akishino family, also enjoyed his first Kirin Festival.

"I saw them together, three or four of them, at a casino organized by a second-year class. They used fake coins, and of course they didn't use real money, but the students running it explained things in a realistic way, so it was pretty authentic." (Current student)

"They got excited as they were betting (laughs). They started losing, and were really upset. I thought, "Oh, what a normal guy." (Current student)

This article is likely to raise the eyebrows of so-called "sensible people" who dislike gambling, but as the author, whose motto is "Life is like gambling," I am in the opposite position to those people, so I think it's a very happy story.

Gambling is a "pastime for the nobles," and it is deeply moving to think that Prince Hisahito is following in the lineage of past emperors who enjoyed gambling games such as sugoroku.

According to the "Nihon Shoki," the first gambling ban in Japan was the "Forbidden Sugoroku" (Sugoroku Ban Order) issued by Empress Jitō in the third year of the reign of Empress Jitō (689). However, Sugoroku gambling was popular not only among the upper class at the time but also among the general public, and Emperor Shōmu, the great-grandson of Empress Jitō, was known as a great sugoroku fan.

*The "Mokugashitan no Sugoroku Kyoku" (Wood-painted Rosewood Sugoroku Board), a treasure in the northern storehouse of the Shosoin Repository, is the sugoroku board favored by Emperor Shōmu.

Then, in the Heian period, a number of distinguished figures appeared, including Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Go-Shirakawa, and Emperor Go-Toba, who is famous for saying, "The water of the Kamo River, the dice of sugoroku, and the mountain priest, these are the things I have no desire for." For Emperor Go-Shirakawa, life itself was like gambling, and he must have enjoyed it quite a lot.

As I said before, I know I will be booed by "people of common sense," but I will say this with conviction, but for those who want to be "strong at competition," gambling is absolutely necessary.

Because what is necessary in life is not only "ability" backed by talent and hard work, but also "competitiveness" that brings about immeasurable "luck." To cultivate this, it is necessary to maintain the obsession with "wanting to win" and mental strength.

And the act of betting at a casino or betting on a gambling game that requires "reading," even if it is a small amount, leads to cultivating "competitiveness" and the ability to read the flow of "luck."

If Prince Hisahito can cultivate the "pride of a gambler" through gambling, he will surely be able to demonstrate his "competitiveness" when he is in a position to represent our country. This will lead to the prosperity of our country.

The future of our country, ruled by the future "gambling emperor," is bright.
