My sons and I went to Japan to visit my home country and home town Kagoshima. While there we decided to take a trip to Chiran to visit the Samurai town and the Peace museum at the same time. I was especially interested in visiting the Peace museum since my uncle told me of my Grandmother’s picture was among the phots displayed. This place had certain aura about it since so many young men were sent from there to their certain death. One item that reminded me how terrible war is was the reconstructed Zero place that crashed into sea while attacking one of the US ships. How it was covered in hundreds of holes which surely came from anti aircraft guns on US ships. I was looking for the photos of my grandmother in hundreds of photos that were there. Lo and behold, I found few with her in the background and she looked to be in her 40s. I just remember her in her 70s bedridden and in poor health. It was quite a moving experience. Needless to say, the museum is quite a special place to visit and it was wonderful.
