Michifumi Isoda, Associate Professor, International Research Center for Japanese Studies, spoke about the issue of public document management from the perspective of the world of historical documents. He said it is easier to understand public documents if you compare them to a rope. "Even if one rope breaks, as long as the others remain you can reach the top. In the same way, if many public documents are left behind, even if an error occurs the truth can be revealed." He said there is no reason why a country like Japan cannot have a system on par with those in Europe and the US.
