The Guntō which carried out many soldiers and fate of both was confiscated by defeat, and the many were discarded. The
Guntō was a big field without an example in the history of both sides of quantity and organization employment to a Japanese sword.
However, since it participated in war, it has continued being ignored prejudicially which does not become a reason. History
proves "those who ignore history step on the again same track." Don't forget history.
The figure of a Guntō leave here,and
the soul of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves to the country is calmed.
Attu-cherry
Solitary
island Attu in the North Sea with clorked the snow and frozen. One plants cannot be found in the island of the lava bolted by fog

the last rush by residual military power small 150 persons, and garrisons were wiped out, May 29, 1943 when food and ammunition were
exhausted.
At this time, the word "honorable death" was used for the first time. It was an honorable death of the Japanese army
beginning.
They died without seeing this beautiful spectacle. In addition, only these flowers are comforting the spirits
of the heroic dead now on the uninhabited island where Japanese army soldiers sleep calmly.
I am increasing
English translation now. I translated into English preferentially from what has many texts.
Although not yet completely translated
into English, I think that the page mainly concerned with the picture can be understood. Therefore, please understand an imperial
army and a navy sword with this table of contents and the photograph of the corresponding page.
It forbids reproducing the photograph
and text of this site to without notice.
Since the contents are sometimes updated, please click an updating button.
"Ō" of Unicode, such as a Guntō and a tō (sword), is a special character in web.
Since manuscript creation is complicated, the text
uses ordinary "o."
Therefore, please read "o" as "ō."
