さて、執筆本格化でわたしはMacに向かってきていますが、いろいろなHPにはサイバー攻撃での変動が感じられてきている。GoogleのAIとの「壁打ち対話」の一部、こういうやり取りもしていました。

　〜問い「攻撃の対象は、日本が最大の標的なのか?」
　＜AIの回答＞日本は世界最大の標的ではありませんが、世界トップクラスに狙われている主要標的の一つです。米マイクロソフトなどの最新の分析やデータから国別のターゲット構造が明らかになっています。
　1. 世界「最大」の標的はアメリカ
　中国の国家系ハッカー集団やサイバー犯罪者が狙う最大のターゲットは、現在も変わらずアメリカ合衆国です。• 圧倒的な攻撃ボリューム：軍事、宇宙、先端技術、金融などあらゆる分野において、中国系ハッカーが仕掛けるサイバー活動（情報窃取やインフラへの侵入）の最大割合は米国に向けられています。
　2. 日本は世界で「3番目」に狙われている国
　マイクロソフトが観測する国別割合において、日本は世界全体の約20%を占め、世界で3番目に標的になっている国です。これは巻き添えではなく日本国や企業が明確な目的を持って狙われていることを意味します。
　3. なぜ日本がここまで狙われるのか？
　安全保障やサイバーインフラの専門調査によると、日本が上位の標的になる理由は主に3つ。
• 経済・先端技術の窃取：半導体、自動車、先端素材、バイオ、宇宙防衛といった「ハイテク情報」が狙い。
• 地政学的な監視（安全保障）：日米同盟の動向や台湾有事などを念頭に防衛省、外務省、政府機関、インフラ（電力や通信）動向を監視し有事に備えてシステム内に「足場」を築く狙いがあるとの指摘。
• サプライチェーンの「抜け穴」：日本の大企業はセキュリティが強固でも取引先である中堅・中小企業、海外拠点の防御が甘いケースが多く、そこを踏み台にして侵入しやすい国とみなされている。
　アメリカが最大標的ですが、アジア地域において日本、韓国、オーストラリア、台湾などが最前線のターゲットとしてサイバー攻撃に晒され続けています。＜AIの回答は以上＞
　2026年10月26日〜29日に北京で「5中全会」日程が公表されている。主な議題は「全面的な厳しい党内統治」であり、規律徹底、組織の引き締めがテーマとなっているとされる。
　当面、緊迫する情勢に要注意ですね。

[International Tensions Escalate Amid Cyberattacks]
As I really get into my writing, all the information I’ve gathered beforehand starts to overwhelm me, and my head feels like it’s about to explode. I seriously hope the international situation calms down. …

　Now that I’m in full swing with my writing, I’ve been spending a lot of time at my Mac, and I’ve started to notice fluctuations on various regular websites due to cyberattacks. Here’s part of a “back-and-forth dialogue” I had with Google’s AI—this is the kind of exchange we were having.
　~Question: “Is Japan the biggest target of these attacks?”
　 Japan is not the world’s biggest target, but it is one of the top-tier major targets being targeted globally. The structure of targets by country has been revealed through the latest analyses and data from companies such as Microsoft in the U.S.
　1. The world’s “largest” target is the United States
　The United States remains the primary target of Chinese state-sponsored hacker groups and cybercriminals. • Overwhelming volume of attacks: Across all sectors—including military, space, advanced technology, and finance—the largest proportion of cyber activities (such as information theft and infrastructure breaches) carried out by Chinese hackers is directed at the United States.
　2. Japan Is the “Third” Most Targeted Country in the World
　According to Microsoft’s country-by-country data, Japan accounts for approximately 20% of global attacks, making it the third most targeted country in the world. This indicates that Japan and its companies are being targeted with a clear purpose, rather than merely being caught in the crossfire.
　3. Why Is Japan Targeted to This Extent?
　According to specialized research on national security and cyber infrastructure, there are three main reasons why Japan ranks among the top targets:
• Theft of economic and cutting-edge technology: “High-tech information” in sectors such as semiconductors, automobiles, advanced materials, biotechnology, and aerospace and defense is the target.
• Geopolitical surveillance (national security): It has been pointed out that attackers monitor the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, government agencies, and infrastructure (such as power and telecommunications)—with an eye on developments in the U.S.-Japan alliance and potential contingencies involving Taiwan—with the aim of establishing a “foothold” within systems in preparation for emergencies.
• Supply chain “loopholes”: Even though major Japanese corporations have robust security, their business partners—mid-sized and small enterprises—as well as their overseas operations often have weak defenses. Japan is viewed as a country where it is easy to gain entry by using these vulnerabilities as a stepping stone.
While the United States is the primary target, countries in the Asian region—including Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Taiwan—continue to be exposed to cyberattacks as frontline targets.
　The schedule for the “5th Plenary Session” has been announced for October 26–29, 2026, in Beijing. The main agenda item is “comprehensive and strict intra-party governance,” and the themes are said to be the enforcement of discipline and organizational consolidation.
　We’ll need to pay close attention to the tense situation for the time being.

　きのうは、朝から雨模様で散歩に出るタイミングを逸してしまって、しょがないのでガソリンを補給しにクルマで出掛けたら、かなりの温度低下ぶり。
　で、わが家への帰り道、札幌市内南側の山並み、札幌岳方向を見ていたら上の方が白い。
　標高的にはもっと高い西側の「手稲」の山並みはそうでもない。空模様の関係だったのでしょうが、久しぶりの白い山並み風景に、北海道人として淡々と受け入れる心理が湧いてきていた。「淡々と受け入れる」って、ヘンな気分ですが悲喜こもごも、どっちかって言うと「悲しい」方が大きいのだけれど、諸行無常の諦念があって、どうせ来るのだから前向きに受け止めようという心理も働く。
　やはり白くなっていく山並みは抗いがたく美的ではある。
　ということで、日中クルマを走らせていたら時折、ガラス面がパチパチとした物理音に見舞われていた。冬の本格的降雪の「前触れ」かと。夏シーズンの終了。やむなく昨日は歩数が、ずっと続いていた10,000歩には遠く及ばないレベルに急低下。
　しかし本日は一転して最高気温15度予想で快晴の天気予報。
　ちょうどタイヤ交換の予約申込みをしていたのが本日11:30というドンピシャのタイミング（笑）。カミさんのお手柄ですが、これで冬への備えの第１歩が開始です。
　さて一方、WEB・社会の基盤であるPHPに2026年10月21日夜、プログラミング言語として重大な脆弱性（通称「PHP2Shell」、識別子：CVE-2026-109618およびCVE-2026-109619）が世界的に公表され、日本政府からも早急な対応が必要との警告アナウンスがありました。
　このところ〜中国政府系ハッカー集団、AI「ARTEX」で攻撃 マイクロソフトが確認〜日本経済新聞というニュースも流れてきて「動乱の気配」があるようです。
　執筆活動がメインになってきている高齢者ですが、信頼する知人のWEBサイトは「一時公開停止」などの対応をしてきている。わたしの関与していることがらでも影響が避けられないので、しっかりと情報を収集し対応して行かなければならないと思っています。
　急速に「秩序は壊れはじめて」いることの序章かも。先般来のフランスの暴動など、その兆候は現れてきている。庶民としてはできることで備える一択。

[Winter Arrives in Hokkaido; Snow Falls on Sapporo’s Mountain Ranges]
The arrival of Old Man Winter is finally becoming apparent. Meanwhile, an urgent alert has been issued regarding the foundation of global web information. Let’s do what we can as ordinary citizens…

　It looked like rain yesterday morning, so I missed my chance to go for a walk. Since I had no other choice, I took the car out to fill up on gas, only to find that the temperature had dropped significantly.
So, on my way home, I looked toward the mountain range on the southern side of Sapporo—in the direction of Mt. Sapporo—and noticed the upper parts were white.
　The mountain range to the west—in “Teine”—which is actually higher in elevation, didn’t look quite the same. It was probably due to the weather conditions, but seeing the white mountain landscape for the first time in a while stirred up a sense of calm acceptance within me as a Hokkaido native. “Calm acceptance”—it’s a strange feeling. It’s a mix of joy and sorrow, and if I had to choose, the “sadness” is greater, but there’s also a sense of resignation to the impermanence of all things, and the thought that since it’s bound to happen anyway, I might as well take it in stride.
　After all, the mountain range turning white is undeniably beautiful.
So, as I was driving during the day, I was occasionally met with a crackling sound coming from the windshield. I wondered if it was a “harbinger” of the full-scale winter snowfall. The end of the summer season. I had no choice but to accept that my step count yesterday plummeted to a level far below the 10,000 steps I’d been consistently hitting.
　However, today’s forecast is a complete turnaround: sunny skies with a high of 15 degrees.
　It just so happens that the tire change appointment I’d booked is at 11:30 today—perfect timing (lol). Thanks to my wife’s efforts, this marks the first step in preparing for winter.
　Meanwhile, on the evening of October 21, 2026, a critical vulnerability (commonly known as “PHP2Shell,” identifiers: CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) in PHP—the foundation of the web and society—was publicly disclosed worldwide, and the Japanese government issued a warning urging immediate action.
　Recently, news has emerged—such as the report in the *Nihon Keizai Shimbun* titled “Attacks by Chinese Government-Affiliated Hacker Group Using AI ‘ARTEX’ Confirmed by Microsoft”—suggesting there are “signs of turmoil.”
Although I am an elderly person whose main focus has shifted to writing, the websites of trusted acquaintances have taken measures such as “temporarily suspending publication.” Since the impact is unavoidable even in matters I am involved in, I believe I must thoroughly gather information and take appropriate action.
　This may be the prelude to “order rapidly beginning to break down.” Signs of this have already been appearing, such as the recent riots in France. As ordinary citizens, our only option is to prepare as best we can.

　昨日は江戸中期ころ1790年ころから明治初期までのわたしの家系の故地、広島県福山市今津での「交流史」の断片を古文書記録で確認したのですが、やはりこういった家系史は、一般的な日本史の英雄豪傑譚ではない庶民の生き様の実相が、深めるほどにジワジワくるよろこびがあって楽しい。きのうも近所に住む次兄といろいろ調査活動の進展を相談していて、どんどん深まる先人の「人生足跡」で情報交換であります。しかしこういう一族の活動の嚆矢は、1790年頃の当主である先祖が残してくれた「先祖探査」の記録巻物が起点。重厚な現地調査で、一統の流れを巻物文学としてまとめてくれたことに、深く導かれている。遠い父性を感じる。
　わたしはこういう探索を進めるのに各地域で発行されてきている「地域史」などを基本にしてを同時にAIを活用してきていますが、そういった手法を数年以上行ってきて、AIの側でも変化の反応が見られてきて、日本の各地域の地域史がさかんにアメリカから買い求められてきているそうです。全国の「古書店」などに定期的に注文が入ってきているとのこと。
　最新の文化領域としてのAIがこういう「需要」を取り込みつつあるのでしょうか。興味深い。こういうAIの進化に対して、主体性としての人間力が試されてきているのかも知れません。いつまでも戦国・幕末の英雄ものばかりでは所詮、限界があるでしょう。
　本日の図はわが家系の故地・今津のもの。縁のある寺院・蓮華寺の冊子からの絵図。
　江戸期にはわが家系は山陽道の宿駅であったこの今津の地が本拠地。この今津宿の参勤交代大名たちが宿泊する「本陣・脇本陣」の経営実態に深く関与した商家だった。この絵図はその後、明治維新の主体になっていく萩藩主の参勤交代の様子を記録させた絵図。
　上下２つの矢印がありますが、上は蓮華寺で、下はその住職が管理していた神社「剣大明神」。
　わたしたち戦後生まれ人間にしてみると神仏は分離した存在という認識ですが、それは明治維新の動乱の結果として植え付けられた認識であって、むしろ日本の文化伝統としては神仏習合意識の方がながい歴史的とらえ方。地域の、さらに血脈の「歴史」を掘り起こすことで、庶民感覚が復元を見せてくる一断面かと。

[The “Travel Map” of the Sankin-Kotai Journey by the Lord of the Hagi Domain, from His Former Residence in Imazu, Fukuyama City]
When you trace the course of Japanese history from the perspective of ordinary people’s daily lives, interesting insights emerge. The true nature of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism…

　Yesterday, I verified fragments of the “history of interactions” in Imazu, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture—the ancestral home of my family from around 1790 (the mid-Edo period) through the early Meiji era—using historical documents. As always, this kind of family history—which reveals the true lives of ordinary people rather than the tales of heroes and great figures found in general Japanese history—brings a quiet, gradual joy that grows the deeper I delve into it. Yesterday, I was also discussing the progress of our research activities with my second older brother, who lives nearby, and we exchanged information on the “footprints of life” left by our ancestors, which are becoming increasingly clear. However, the starting point for these family research efforts is a scroll containing records of “ancestral research” left behind by our ancestor, the head of the family around 1790. I feel deeply guided by the fact that he compiled the lineage’s history into scroll literature through meticulous field research. I sense a distant paternal presence.
　In pursuing this kind of research, I’ve been using “local histories” published in various regions as a foundation while simultaneously utilizing AI. Having employed this approach for several years now, I’ve begun to see signs of change on the AI side as well; apparently, local histories from various regions of Japan are being actively purchased from the United States. I’ve heard that orders are coming in regularly to “used bookstores” nationwide.
Is AI, as the latest cultural frontier, beginning to capture this kind of “demand”? It’s fascinating. Perhaps the human capacity for autonomy is being put to the test in the face of such AI evolution. After all, there are limits to focusing solely on stories of heroes from the Warring States and Bakumatsu periods forever.
Today’s illustration is of Imazu, the ancestral home of my family. It is a map taken from a booklet published by Renge-ji Temple, with which my family has ties.
During the Edo period, my family’s base was here in Imazu, which served as a post station on the Sanyo Road. Our family was a merchant house deeply involved in the day-to-day management of the “Honjin” and “Waki-honjin”—the lodgings where daimyo on their sankin-kōtai journeys stayed in Imazu-juku. This map was commissioned to record the sankin-kōtai journey of the lord of the Hagi Domain, who would later become a key figure in the Meiji Restoration.
　There are two arrows, one pointing up and one down. The upper arrow points to Renge-ji Temple, and the lower one points to the “Ken Daimyōjin” shrine, which was managed by the temple’s head priest.
　For those of us born after the war, the perception is that Shinto and Buddhism are separate entities; however, this perception was instilled as a result of the upheavals of the Meiji Restoration. In fact, within Japanese cultural tradition, the concept of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism represents a longer-standing historical perspective. By unearthing the “history” of the region—and even of one’s own bloodline—we may be able to glimpse a facet of the common people’s sensibilities being restored.

　写真は、先般はじめて知った友人女子が活けているという札幌地下鉄琴似駅のいけばな。
　ときどき地下鉄駅を通りすがるとき、「あ、また頑張っているかなぁ」と気になっている。ちょこちょこと変わっているので、しっかり継続しているのでしょう、エラい。芸術ではない、というのが彼女の意見なのですが、わたし的には絵画鑑賞的に楽しませてもらっています。
　で、今週からは個人企業としてのやらねばならない処理案件があるので、それへの対応が必要。
　また継続してきている家系史探究も、さまざまな協力先からの情報提供があり、その時代相別にいろいろな情報の新発掘があって、それぞれで深掘りが必要になってきています。また、あらたに構想が盛り上がってきたような企画内容もあって、高齢の脳味噌はやや萌え萌え状況。
　さらにキャリアから継続してきている公的な「役割」もことしも延長してきております。謹んで対処したいと考えますが、そうした役割のためには必要不可欠な準備もこなす必要がある。
　まぁしっかり整理整頓しながら、時間の迫っている案件から、個別に徐々に片付けていきたいと思っております。
　しかしビジネス的な領域ではIT関係について、最近の個人情報関連の「攻撃」への対応が迫られてきている現状がある。ソフトウェア的なことなので、そうした企業との技術的な内容についての対話になる。問題点の特定や、それへの対応では専門知見的な内容が当然メインの話合いになる。そうした内容を踏まえての経営的判断。
　そういった内容を検討するには、写真のような「明鏡止水」的な心理が必要なのかなぁ、と。
　はじめて「いけばな」という文化領域について教えられた結果、要するにいろいろな個別の個性をどのように関係づけながら、それぞれの特性を生かす、みたいな心象ではないのかと素人理解（笑）。
　なんですが、そういう素人理解で自分の身の回りにあれこれを考えて見ると、やはりこういう「整理整頓術」がわかりやすいのかなぁと思えております。あ、言うまでもなく素人としての生かし方。

[With the season upon us, there are many projects to tackle. Let’s calm our minds and observe ikebana.]
I’ve come to believe—perhaps a bit arbitrarily—that the fundamental principle of ikebana is to strive for a mind as clear and still as a mirror or still water. Perhaps this is the mindset needed in old age to cope with life’s many challenges. …

　The photo shows the ikebana arrangement at Kotoni Station on the Sapporo Subway, created by a female friend I recently met.
　Whenever I pass by the subway station, I find myself wondering, “I wonder if she’s still working hard on it.” Since the arrangement changes little by little, she must be keeping it up consistently—that’s impressive. She says it’s not art, but personally, I enjoy looking at it as if I were appreciating a painting.
　Starting this week, I have some administrative tasks I need to handle as a sole proprietor, so I’ll have to focus on those.
　As for my ongoing family history research, I’ve been receiving information from various collaborators, and new discoveries are emerging for each historical period, so I need to dig deeper into each one. Plus, I have some project ideas that are really starting to take shape, so my aging brain is getting a bit excited.
　Furthermore, the official “role” I’ve been carrying over from my career has been extended again this year. I intend to handle these matters with the utmost care, but I also need to complete the preparations that are essential for fulfilling these roles.
Well, I plan to keep everything well organized and tackle each task individually, starting with the ones that are most time-sensitive.
However, in the business realm, particularly regarding IT, we’re currently under pressure to respond to recent “attacks” related to personal information. Since this involves software, it requires technical discussions with relevant companies. Naturally, the main focus of these discussions will be on specialized expertise—identifying issues and devising countermeasures. Management decisions will then be made based on that information.
　I wonder if examining such matters requires a mindset like the “clear mirror, still water” depicted in the photo.
　After being introduced to the cultural practice of “ikebana” for the first time, my layman’s understanding (laughs) is that it’s essentially about how to relate various individual characteristics while bringing out the best in each one.
　However, when I apply this amateur understanding to the various things around me, I find myself thinking that this kind of “organization technique” is actually quite easy to grasp. Oh, and needless to say, this is just how I, as a layperson, put it into practice.

　昨日はみなさん、唖然としていたと思います。わたしも同様。
　緊急のアラート音がスマホから聞こえてきて、これまでの体験でいちばん記憶している2018年９月６日03時07分、北海道の胆振地方中東部を震源とする地震を想起していた。　
　あのときは真夜中で寝ぼけたアタマで緊急警報に起こされ室内で揺れを感じさせられていた。札幌のわが家周辺は震度5程度だったけれど「あ、これで・・・」と一瞬思ったほどだった。幸い、わが家では特段の被害はなかったけれど、市内各所で被害が出ていた。
　・・・あれくらいは来るのかもと身構え、推移を注視していた。カミさんはテレビを点けたが民放局だったので「NHKにしてね」と注文して見ていた。当初は「千島列島」という発表だったので、そういう×印が画面の地図に表記されて、アナウンサーと「解説役」が画面に映っていた。しかし、一向に揺れが来る気配がない。おいおいであります。しかし、まさかすぐに緊急体制を解くワケにもいかない。時間だけが経っていった。
　そうしたらまた、スマホからの緊急アラート。「・・・揺れに注意してください」みたいなアナウンス。
　しかし、テレビ画面では「警報が解除された」というアナウンス。「え？いま再度の緊急警報があったのに？」という疑問の追い打ち。あとで知ったが、警報が解除されるお知らせも、緊急アラートと同じように驚くような音声として流れてくるのだという情報だった。
　たしかに緊急アラートからの「解除警告」というのは聞いたことがなかったので、後者のアラートというのは初めて知ったことになる。
　ふ〜む。みなさん、まぁ地震も来なかったのだからまぁいいか、と思われたことでしょう。同意。
　しかし、その後の気象庁の「お詫び・説明」がなんとも釈然としなかった。そういう声が多かったと見えて、その後追加で会見が行われていたとのこと。中央省庁が２回も会見に追い込まれること自体、前代未聞。
　そしてその説明はふたたび「チンプンカンプン」。
　ひたすら20年前に導入したという予報システムの細部についての意味不明の「釈明」を行っていて、国民がふつうに知りたい説明としてはまったく用をなしていなかった。
　どうもわたしには、むしろ国家システム「不具合」の表面化と感じられてならなかった。むむむ。

[Major Earthquake Alert: “False Alarm and Explanation” — Is the National System in Crisis?]
Although an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 1 was recorded in Hakodate, I can’t help but wonder if the real problem lies in the structure of the national system, which seems to cause issues with information management. …

　I think everyone was stunned yesterday. I was, too.
　When the emergency alert sounded on my smartphone, it reminded me of the earthquake that occurred on September 6, 2018, at 3:07 a.m.—the one I remember most vividly from my past experiences—with its epicenter in the central-eastern part of Hokkaido’s Iburi region.　
　Back then, it was the middle of the night, and I was woken up by the emergency alert while still half-asleep, feeling the shaking inside my room. The seismic intensity around my home in Sapporo was about 6, but for a split second, I thought, “Oh, so this is it…” Fortunately, there was no significant damage to my house, but damage was reported in various parts of the city.
　…Bracing myself for the possibility that something of that magnitude might happen, I kept a close eye on the situation. My wife turned on the TV, but since it was a commercial station, I told her, “Switch to NHK,” and watched that instead. Initially, the announcement mentioned the “Kuril Islands,” so a cross mark indicating that area appeared on the map on the screen, and the anchor and a “commentator” were shown on the screen. However, there was absolutely no sign of any shaking. I was getting impatient. But of course, they couldn’t just lift the emergency alert right away. Time just kept passing.
Then, another emergency alert came through my smartphone—an announcement along the lines of, “…Please be aware of shaking.”
　But on the TV screen, there was an announcement saying, “The alert has been lifted.” This only added to my confusion: “Huh? But didn’t we just get another emergency alert?” I found out later that the notification that the alert had been lifted is also broadcast with the same startling audio as the emergency alert itself.
　I’d certainly never heard of a “cancellation alert” following an emergency alert, so this was the first time I’d learned about that second type of alert.
　Hmm. I’m sure many of you thought, “Well, since no earthquake actually happened, I guess it’s all right.” I agree.
　However, the Japan Meteorological Agency’s subsequent “apology and explanation” was utterly unconvincing. Apparently, there were many such complaints, and an additional press conference was held afterward. The fact that a central government agency was forced to hold two press conferences is unprecedented.
　And that explanation was once again “utterly incomprehensible.”
　They spent the entire time offering incomprehensible “explanations” about the minutiae of a forecasting system supposedly introduced 20 years ago—which served absolutely no purpose in terms of the kind of explanation the public actually wants to hear.
To me, it felt more like a “malfunction” in the national system coming to the surface. Hmm.
