Yuriko, Princess Mikasa 1923-2024

Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Princess Yuriko, a woman who embodied the spirit and resilience of the Japanese royal family. At 101 years old, she was a quiet yet enduring presence within the Imperial household—a sister-in-law to Emperor Showa and a witness to nearly a century of profound transformation in Japan.

Princess Yuriko’s life encompassed the tragedy and recovery of a nation through war and peace, and her graceful resilience mirrored Japan’s own journey. She bore witness to a world profoundly different from the one she was born into, marking her presence with steadfast commitment to tradition while adapting to a rapidly changing Japan. She was both noble in title and spirit, bridging modernity with the rich heritage of Japanese culture.

Her contributions to Japan’s social fabric, through charity work and support for disabled veterans and marginalized communities, demonstrate her empathy and care for the Japanese people.

Today, as we mourn her passing, we also celebrate a life that saw Japan rise, rebuild, and redefine itself. Her legacy is a quiet, dignified strength that will be missed but always remembered. The Japanese Imperial family and Japan at large have lost a remarkable figure, yet her spirit and the example she set will remain a part of the nation's heart.

There's always a trace. Whether that applies to WWII, or the pain of betrayal. Six years. Two sides. Two nations, their stories intertwined. Let's see how my version of WWII plays out in this universe, shall we?

Trying a slightly different style. I clearly still can’t draw hats apparently.

P.S. I know it looks choppy, I did this on my phone.

The shattered wreckage of American planes, bombed by the Japanese in their attack on Pearl Harbor, are left strewn on Hickam Field airfield. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United States against the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, just before 8:00 a.m., on Sunday, December 7, 1941. The United States was a neutral country at the time; the attack led to its formal entry into World War II the next day. Japan intended the attack as a preventive action. Its aim was to prevent the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and those of the United States. Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the US-held Philippines, Guam, and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Korean man who served in the Imperial Japanese Army is tried as a war criminal.  The picture is dated 7/8/47.  His Korean name is Cho Mun San who went by the Japanese name of Hirahara Mortsune.  A mandatory military draft by the Japanese government called for all young and able Korean males to join.  Victim of Japanese imperialism perhaps?
