The exhibition,
planned and organized by Professor Takeyuki Tokura of the Keio University
Fukuzawa Research Center, who continues to research the Uehara family, features
photographs and handwritten documents of the family, showing what the war
brought to the family of Torataro Uehara (a doctor), an old family in Azumino
City, Nagano Prefecture.
1945年5月、22歳で戦死した特攻隊員の上原良司氏や戦没した二人の兄、上原良春・龍男（共に軍医）長男の良春氏は終戦後戦地でマラリアの為死亡。次男の龍男氏は1943年に乗っていた潜水艦が撃沈され死亡。3人はいずれも慶応義塾大学で学んでいた。（良司氏は学徒出陣）
Ryoji
Uehara, a kamikaze pilot who died in battle at the age of 22 in May 1945, and
his two older brothers, Yoshiharu and Tatsuo Uehara (both military doctors),
also died in the war. Yoshiharu, the eldest, died of malaria on the battlefield
after the war ended. His second son, Tatsuo, was killed in 1943 when the
submarine he was on was sunk. All three studied at Keio University. (Ryoji was
a student soldier.)
長野県安曇野市の旧家上原寅太郎（医師）家の5人に子どもの内3人の兄が死亡し、2人の妹が残され、存命の末娘 登志江さんが、同日行われた特別座談会「上原家、80年後の証言」で語った。「両親が家で兄たちについて話すのを聞いたこと記憶がない。悲しすぎて口に出せなかったのでしょうね。体の中にしまい込んでしまった感じでした。」そして、「二度と戦争を起こしてならない」と。
Three of the five children in the family of Torataro Uehara (a doctor)
from Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, died, leaving two younger sisters.
The surviving youngest daughter, Toshie, spoke at a special roundtable
discussion held on the same day, "The Uehara Family, Testimony 80
Years Later." She said, "I don't remember hearing my parents
talk about my brothers at home. They must have been too sad to speak out.
It was like they had it bottled up inside them.
She
also said, "We must never start a war again."
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。
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.

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.
