High court upholds punishment of teacher over anthem

FUKUOKA, Japan - Ryuichiro Inoue, a public elementary school teacher, speaks to reporters in Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, on Nov. 26, after the Fukuoka High Court upheld the legality of a reprimand given to Inoue who refused to sing ''Kimigayo'' with pupils at a 1988 school ceremony. Inoue said he did not sing the anthem because the school had refused to allow the raising of a flag made by students based on Pablo Picasso's ''Guernica.'' The flag was intended as a symbol of peace. ''Kimigayo,'' or his majesty's reign, was not legally recognized as Japan's national anthem until earlier this year, but had long been regarded as the de facto anthem.
