s01e01 — Shouwa Year 39's New Year's Day

Everything is very nice and lamp-like... But I can't get out of my head that Yamazaki Yuzo survived the meat grinder of World War II. And it was in the meat grinder - if he had been lucky enough to get into the Kwantung Army, which was treated more or less gently, then Ln would have returned to Japan in 1954-55, and judging by his daughter's age, he had been in Japan since at least 1946. That is, not in China (or on the mainland at all, otherwise he would have been captured by the Soviets), and not on the Pacific Islands (they did not survive at all in 99% of cases) - most likely, at the end of the war, he was directly in Japan. Lucky.
