I do not know much about the Nippon Foundation nor the Sasakawa Peace Foundation.
But, let me explain Japanese history after W.W.II.
I know the Sasagawa foundation has also been doing philanthropic activities, but no evil organization admits that the organization is evil.
After W.W.II., Japan tried to preserve its heavy industry, probably in preparation for its rearmament.
(1) Japan instigated the Cold War conflicts and instigated conflicts between communism and capitalism, and encouraged the West in order to restore Japan as a member of the West. West Germany also did this.
(2) Japan created whaling fleets in order to maintain Japan's shipbuilding industry.
Japan's tradition is coastal whaling, and traveling to Antarctica to hunt whales with huge whaling ships is not part of Japan's traditional culture.
(3) Japan mass-produced fishing fleets and engines for these fleets in order to maintain Japan's heavy industry.
(4) Japan has sustained auto racing and boat racing as public gambling in order to maintain Japan's heavy industry.
Auto racing has been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (formerly the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan).
Motorboat racing has been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport of Japan (formerly the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan).
And, the Nippon Foundation and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation are boat racing organizations.
I do not think that both the Nippon Foundation and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation are peace organizations.
Both the Nippon Foundation and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation are military-industrial conglomerates (Zaibatsu) which have maintained Japan's heavy industry under the guise of private enterprises.
Japan must apologize and pay compensation payments for sex slaves during and before World War II.

Nippon Foundation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Foundation
The Nippon Foundation (Nipponzaidan) of Tokyo, Japan, is a private, non-profit grant-making organization.
It was established in 1962 by Ryoichi Sasakawa.
The foundation's mission is to direct Japanese motorboat racing revenue into philanthropic activities, it uses this money to pursue global maritime development and assistance for humanitarian work, both at home and abroad.
In the humanitarian field, it focuses on such fields as social welfare, public health, and education.
The foundation has also been criticized for promoting Japanese historical negationism, particularly in whitewashing Japanese war crimes committed in World War II.
Since 2003 the foundation has promoted sign language with the aim of allowing deaf people to fully participate in society, in this way, they created scholarships for deaf people at Gallaudet University and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in the United States.
The current chairman is Yōhei Sasakawa, World Health Organization Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, Special Envoy of the Government of Japan for National Reconciliation in Myanmar, and the son of the foundation's founder, Ryoichi Sasakawa.
History
Leadership
* 1962–1995 – Ryoichi Sasakawa: a suspected war criminal, businessman, far-right politician, and philanthropist
* 2005–present – Yōhei Sasakawa: WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, Japan's Ambassador for the Human Rights of People Affected by Leprosy, Special Envoy of the Government of Japan for National Reconciliation in Myanmar.
Examples of major initiatives
1962–1970
In 1962, The Nippon Foundation was established as the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation under the auspices of the Japanese Motorboat Racing Law.
The law and the foundation were initiatives of Ryoichi Sasakawa who, as chair, used them to both help rebuild the Japanese shipbuilding sector, and to conduct philanthropic activities around the world.
This system of using gambling revenue to provide aid to needy sectors was a novel one in Japan at that time, and came under intense scrutiny.
In response, the foundation strove for transparency in conducting its activities, making its records publicly accessible from its earliest days.
Initiatives pursued in this period include research for the development of super tankers and their engines, direct support for the shipbuilding industry, and the protection of safety in the Strait of Malacca—vital to Japan's national security, due to the fact that more than 80 percent of her oil passes this way.

Kyotei
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Dtei
The Kyotei, literally "boat racing" and referred to as BOAT RACE, is a runabout racing event primary held in Japan.
It is one of Japan's four "Public Sports" (koei kyogi), which are sports events where parimutuel betting is legal.
Kyotei was introduced in Japan in April 1952, when the first race was held at Omura Kyotei Stadium in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture.

Auto Race (Japanese sport)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Race_(Japanese_sport)
Auto Race (Oto Resu) is a Japanese version of flat track motorcycle racing, but is held on an asphalt course.
It is regulated by the JKA Foundation.
Paved flat track is predominantly a gambling sport.
The first ever meeting was held at Funabashi in 1950, but the more traditional speedway and flat track dirt surfaces were banned by the government in the 1960s because they were considered too dangerous.[citation needed]

私はササガワ財団について詳しくはありません。
が、日本の戦後の歴史について説明させてください。
ササガワ財団が、慈善活動をしていることは知っていますが、自身を悪の組織だと認める悪の組織は存在しない。
戦後、日本は、恐らくは再軍備のために、重工業を温存しようとした。
(1) 冷戦対立をあおり、共産主義と資本主義の対立をあおり、日本を西側の一員として復興するよう、西側を仕向けた。西ドイツもこれをした。
(2) 造船業維持のために、捕鯨船団を作った。
日本の伝統は沿岸捕鯨であり、南極まで行って巨大な捕鯨船で捕鯨をするのは日本の伝統文化ではない。
(3) 重工業維持のために、漁船団およびこれら漁船団のためのエンジンを大量生産した。
(4) 重工業維持のために、オートレースおよびモーターボートレースを公営賭博で維持した。
オートレースは国交省(元運輸省)の管轄。
モーターボートレースは経済産業省(元通産省)の管轄。
そして、笹川平和財団は、モーターボートレースの団体。
笹川平和財団は、平和団体ではないと思う。
笹川平和財団は、日本の重工業を、民間企業を隠れ蓑に維持してきた、軍需財閥。
日本は、第2次大戦中およびそれ以前からの性奴隷について、謝罪と賠償しろ。
