mokusatu (黙殺） Explanation: You are correct, it means "to treat it in silence," etc., but it was interpreted to mean outright rejection. The Japanese side should have said it needs clarification on the Emperor's status. The allies should have checked to see if it meant rejection. The kanji for "mokusatu" mean "slient killing." |
