01. The memory of a man dancing in the bright light of the sun on the day of the end of the war.
I was born in Nagoya in 1941. About six months later, the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. During the war, I was evacuated to Tajimi in Gifu Prefecture, and it was there that I experienced the end of the war. On August 15, 1945, my mother, sister and I ran along the footpath beside the rice paddies to the square in front of Tajimi Station, where we heard a loudspeaker blaring. It was the Emperor's surrender broadcast. Everyone was sitting down or bowing their heads, listening intently to it. What I remember most is the dazzling bright light of the sun, and a man dancing on the roof of a parked train or freight car.
