| General Note |
- General note - In Japanese
- General note - [Annotation by Yuka Ibuki:] This book tells about approximately 150 Japanese War Criminals of B&C Class, held in the New Bilibid in Muntinlupa. In 1952, they were returned to Japan under an amnesty given by President Quirino. On May 16, 1953, Rev. Shunin Kagao, the Buddhist Chaplain of the prisoners, met President Quirino. Kagao presented him a music box of a song made by two of the prisoners and became a big hit in Japan, sung by Ms. Hamako Watanabe, who visited and sang for the prisoners. Listening to the song, the President confided with Kagao his memories and experiences of the war. The book consists of the author's interviews of some prisoners, supporters, and a round table discussion of concerned Japanese broadcast on May 16, 1952. Different experiences of the prisoners, their thoughts on the war responsibility of Emperor Showa, fact of the commander who gave orders to kill but escaped punishment, need of the sincerity for the Japanese Government and people to the people of the Philippines, so forth are introduced.
