"Japan and the United States became close political allies so quickly after the end of World War II, that it seemed as though the two countries had easily forgotten the war they had fought.

In “American Hijiki,” Nosaka attempts to reawaken contained memories of the war in postwar society through his self-caricature, while in “Hotaru no haka” he tries to contain the disturbing memories through their aestheticization. In “Hotaru no haka,” the protagonist Seita is a teenage boy, whose parents die in June 1945 during an air raid at Kobe. Left alone to t ..."

"... of the Daiei supermarket chain, Nakauchi Isao (1922– 2005), survived the warfare in the Philippines and later publicly admitted feeling survivor's guilt ( Nakauchi Isao et al., “Onoda shōi to warera Taishō sedai no 30 nen,” Gendai, May 1974, 113).
