The hibakusha of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been speaking out against nuclear weapons for almost 70 years. Their organization Nihon Hidankyo has now been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts.
With the opening of an office in Munich, Kensho is also reacting to the negative consequences of the high share of work from home in Germany.
The interest rate gap between Japan and the eurozone is shrinking. However, Japanese real estate remains a lucrative investment and European real estate is becoming more attractive for the Japanese.
In Europe, renewable energy investments are attracting a lot of attention in response to the energy crisis, and the question of how to utilize renewable energy will be a major challenge for all industries.

While the US is seeing a resurgence of risky real estate securitization to the detriment of investors, Japan has strengthened its financial supervision and will not abandon foreign real estate investors.
The capital-driven US property market often promises high returns but a recent big loss of a top-rated CMBS bond emphasizes the downside of such investments. European investments and security backers tend to be fairer, safer, and more reliable.
