Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "The author was taken a war prisoner of U.S army in Mindoro island in January 1945 and was taken into a hospital in Tacloban, Leyte. Mindoro and Leyte were as backgrounds for his literary work "Being a POW". And he visited there again while he was occupied in writing "Battle of Leyte" in March,1967 (Showa 42). There still remained deep-rooted anti-Japanese feelings there yet although war reparation between Japan and Philippines already was resolved." - Masuko Takehisa
  • Summary, etc. - 筆者は1945年1月ミンドロ島で米軍の捕虜になり、レイテ島タクロバンの俘虜病院に収容された。ミンドロ島とレイテ島は、筆者の作品『俘虜記』の舞台である。筆者は、『レイテ戦記』執筆中の1967年(昭和42年)3月現地を再び訪問した。日本とフィリピン政府の間で賠償問題が解決してもなお、現地では反日感情が根強く残っていた。- Masuko Takehisa
