富谷食堂資料館「ホタル館」
慶応義塾大学在学中に学徒出陣した上原良司氏は、戦没学生の手記「きけわだつみのこえ」に、良司氏の特攻出撃前夜に記した「明日は自由主義者が一人この世から去っていきます」が収録されている。
また、九州の知覧陸軍特攻基地の近くで、特攻隊員がよく通い、特攻の母と慕われた鳥浜トメの食堂「富屋食堂」は、復元され、資料館「ホタル館」として当時の内部を再現して、特攻隊員の遺書や写真が展示されている。
参考：わだつみ（海神・綿津見）とは、 日本神話の「海の神」。 転じて海や海原そのものを指す場合もある。
Tomiya Shokudo Museum "Firefly Museum"
Ryoji Uehara, who was a student at Keio University when he was drafted into the military, has written the following passage in the memoir of a student who died in the war, "Listen to the Voices of the Sea," which he wrote on the eve of his suicide mission: "Tomorrow a liberal will leave this world."
Also,
near the Chiran Army Special Attack Base in Kyushu, Tomiya Shokudo, a
restaurant frequented by kamikaze pilots and run by Torihama Tome, who was
loved as the "mother of the kamikaze pilots," has been restored and
turned into a museum called Hotarukan, where the interior of the restaurant has
been recreated as it was at the time and where the suicide notes and
photographs of the pilots are on display.
Reference:
Wadatsumi (Umigami Watatsumi) is the "god of the sea" in Japanese
mythology. By extension, it can also refer to the sea or the ocean itself.
