BANZAI...
Banzai Counterattacks in a ridge "Ten thousand years of life for the Emperor” or simply “Long live the Emperor”.
This became the last resort to turn the tables by giving one last push, or die in the honor of the Emperor..

 

 

BANZAI...

 were there no cherry blossom
in this world of us
the hearts of men in spring
might know serenity

waka of narihira 800-850

in a square sight of life and death
Peleliu Pill Box 1944

 

 he is a brave soul
drawing blood only for peace
never for vengeance

dear Hiroko

its only a time when i could write a letter to you
i hope you all right, and our family so
day by days we dig many holes and caves
we build many concrete too
hard work to do, but whos know it will help me
help me comeback to you, and home

please be no worry
