Today, when I visited my koto teacher, they told me that Friday had somehow tracked them down and come to their home, which made them feel uncomfortable. When I looked into it, I found that the Agency for Cultural Affairs page lists not only their professional name but also their real name, date of birth, and address.
Of course, the Council for Cultural Affairs would need this kind of information, but shouldn’t it be masked when published on the Web? It would make using personal information for purposes other than the original purpose extremely easy. Or perhaps Living National Treasures are already outside the scope of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information—I don’t know.
