A letter came from Shiroyagi-san (White Goat)/ But Kuroyagi-san (Black Goat) ate the letter without reading it. Yagi-san Yubin (Goats Letters), a poem by Michio Mado (1909-2014), is about letters that are exchanged between a white goat and a black goat but are never read by either party.
Last month, the newly minted expression yagi-san toben (literally, goat s response) went viral on social media.
The source of inspiration, apparently, was Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who muddled through a Diet session during which he was asked, Are you going ahead with the Olympics?
The question was rephrased every time it was repeated, but Suga s answer never varied. He stuck to this mantra: I will continue to protect the lives and health of the Japanese people.
