戦死した兵士の手帳が、六十年後に家へ帰ってきた｜紙片の日本史 #005

There is a notebook. Its last page ends with a single word: "The End." It was written by a 26-year-old Japanese soldier on the coast of Wewak, New Guinea. Three months later he was killed in action, and the notebook passed into enemy hands — sixty years later, it came home. The story of a diary of rain, bananas, and tanka poems, across five thousand kilometers and sixty years. First episode of a new series. Subtitles available in 17 languages (via the CC button). ■ Sources (main) Diary transcription and images of the field notebook: Australian War Memorial (AWM) collection PR02035 / transcription by the Australia-Japan Research Project (AJRP) Photographs: AWM 060579, 014187, 014211 (all out of copyright) / US Navy 80-G-67248 / US Army and USAAF photographs (US government public domain) The photograph of a "soldier writing a letter" at the beginning shows an Allied soldier (New Guinea, 1943) — both sides wrote. The photograph "Off Wewak, March 1944" shows a US attack on transport ships; it does not depict the death of Tamura Yoshikazu. This video takes no political position on the historical facts. The figures are an "interpretation" by stylized characters; photographs and handwritten documents are originals only; the narration is an AI voice.
