Written Notification of Death (Bulletin) Showa 20 (1945), May 18th. Death from diseases contracted while at the front with the Hunan Provincial Army

Ministry Army Hospital Ohara Masaru

Death from disease contracted at the front

I see...

Masaru-san's ashes have come home.

Dear.

Shut up!

I won't look.

I'm...

I'm...

...fed up with this already!

Anyhow, I couldn't eat or sleep...

...it was just too hot and noisy.

Nee-chan.

Huh?

Let's go.

Yeah...

Itoko...

Itoko!

So hot, huh...

Namuamidabutsu I sincerely believe in Amitabha

I couldn't think of anything.

Stop, stop!

To the east is dangerous! To the west; go to the west!

So I ran when I was told to.

Promptly!

Quickly!

Yes!

There!

Okay!

And I moved when I was told to...

I delivered the food.

When I could sleep, I slept.

But I couldn't sleep and got up.

That's how it went...

What's happened?

Is my Mom here?

What is it?

No!

Noo!

Dad...

When Tarō brought the notification of Taizō-niichan being killed...

...I couldn't feel the loss and I couldn't even cry.

My feelings had just gone away somewhere.

But doing this, it was easy.

Sadness and pain...

...I was tired of the pain.

Yesterday...

I got a call from my Kobe uncle....

Hmm...

They're all safe, but...

The factory and the mansion were burned to the ground.

I see...

Mom.

Mom. Here!

Huh?

What is it?

It's for you.

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Sensei, here!

Ito-chan!

What is it?!

Bombs are falling on Yamanaka-michi!

Go and check on your mother and the rest!

Hurry! All of you!

Yūko! Naoko! Satako! Mom! Grandma!

Itoko!

Itoko!

Itoko!

It'll be okay! Mom, come here!

Mom, we're fleeing!

Eh?!

To where!?

The river! All of you jump into the river! We won't get burned that way.

Moooom!

I won't die!

I won't die!

I'm not afraid at all of air-raids.

Even if I were burned...

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

You're the same, aren't you?

Don't cry.

I won't die...

...is what I told myself.

And then at last, on yet another hot day in the morning...

Showa 20 (1945) August 15th

Ito-chan.

Ito-chan!

Eh?

Have you heard the radio this morning?

Huh?

There's to be a significant announcement at noon today.

All of you should listen to it.

Taking into consideration...

Then Emperor's speech to his subject here, ending the war, was given in an archaic form of Japanese that the majority of listeners couldn't understand

...the condition of the many parts of Our empire...

...and wishing to control the situation...

...using extreme measures...

We are here to inform you...

Our loyal subjects...

What is he saying?

I don't know.

...that we accept the provisions of their Joint Declaration...

Eh? What was this?

What did he say?

I don't know.

Could we ask someone?

I'll go and ask the Kioka-sans.

Me, too.

Ahh! We lost!

Japan has lost!

Damn it!

We've already lost!

Then it's over?

The war is over?!

Now...

Time for lunch.
