On September 1, 2021, Japan’s Digital Agency began work. Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide had named gyōsei no tatewari, the vertical division of administration, as the cause of the problem. He announced: “We will create the Digital Agency as a system that brings together related policies divided among several ministries and pushes them forward strongly.”
An article in Gendai Business noted that the greeting at the launch did not use the words tatewari daha, breaking the vertical division.
