My Take
Norio Mitsuya is one of those figures who makes you stop and think — a politician born in Ise, Mie Prefecture, which is home to Japan's most sacred Shinto shrine, and he went all the way to Columbia University to study before coming back to work in Japanese politics. That gap between the grand old spiritual landscape of his hometown and the ivy-covered halls of an Ivy League school in New York City is genuinely striking to me. Born in December 1950, he's a Sagittarius through and through — that sign tends to produce people who chase big horizons and aren't content to just stay put. A lot of the details about his career are kept out of public view, but honestly, the bare bones alone — Ise origins, Columbia education, lifetime in politics — sketch out someone who made real deliberate choices about how to spend his years. I wish politicians with this kind of international grounding were talked about more.
