A letter that seems to have been sent by a female student in Tokyo to a soldier abroad during the Pacific War has returned to Japan after more than 75 years. The curator, who was entrusted with the letter, said, "I want to find the sender because it is a valuable document that conveys the lives of the common people."
The letter was sent by an Australian woman to Shibuya Ward in Tokyo this March, when she found it in the relics of her father, who fought as a British army in the Malay Peninsula during the Pacific War, and wanted to return it to Japan. ..
The sender appears to have been a fifth-year student at Kanto High School for Girls in Shibuya Ward and was addressed to Japanese soldiers on the front lines overseas.
You can see how people lived at the time, such as visiting the Meiji Shrine, the newspaper showing pictures of soldiers sticking rice cakes, and the abolition of the Kadomatsu and donating that much to the Navy.
You can feel the hometown with the colorfully drawn pictures of children of men and women wearing snowshoes.
According to Keita Matsui, curator of Shirane Memorial Shibuya Ward Folk Museum and Literature Museum in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, who was entrusted with the letter, it was called a "consolation bag" for daily units and amulets for the troops in the battlefield at that time. It means that I was sending something and it was inside it.
Mr. Matsui said, "It's miraculous that I came back in a beautiful condition. I want to find the sender from the valuable materials that convey the lives of the common people."
This letter will be published from the 23rd.
