Yokaren Peace Memorial Museum




It is fine on Friday, January 24, 2015


I went on a business trip from the day before yesterday 
to Choshi-city.
Because I went along Kasumigaura in the middle of way home,
 I dropped in at the Yokaren- Peace Memorial museum in the shore.
A lot of daily life and diary of the naval airmen student (Yokaren)
and wills of the kamikaze are displayed in the hall. 
While I read them one by one, I was filled with feelings.
 I was impressed by the pure, noble mind of
 20-year-old youths from 18 years old killed in war.

 The Yasukuni worship of the prime minister begins to cause 
controversy in Japan.I thought that I wanted this museum
 to come to Japanese many people particularly the teenager.
 And  I want them to think about a meaning of former World War II.

Gentle spring light comes in faintly into the silent hall.

 I felt solemn..
