"The season in which the skies are high and the horses are plump has come. (It means it is fall in Japanese. ) How have you been since we last communicated? It has cooled off greatly in Japan and all the surrounding mountains have turned colors and are looking gorgeous. I am in great shape as ever and full of spirit, so please feel assured. Kuraishi has been persevering for so many years. (This can be either the addressee of the letter or a third person. It may become clear as I read on.) Please keep fighting for all the East Asian people and world peace. Please give all that you can. My own days (as a soldier) are approaching fast, so I am trying hard to build up my body." It is past midnight where I live so I'm hitting the futon. I did the first 6-line paragraph Hopefully other members will do the rest (or at least a few lines) while Japan is at sleep. So many members here claim to know Japanese. BTW, the third pic says: "West Coast of Bataan Peninsula Drawn by Kawamata" That is in the Philippines. Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind. |

愈々＿る＿きものが＿よーだね。＿なの事です。分かる かね。社会運営の＿構が一＿た事さ。自分も＿耳のがイ 当者なので＿年の一月＿日＿だ＿＿どうなるか見＿が＿ かない More and more it seems like SOMETHING. It's a SOMETHING. I wonder if you understand. The administration of society SOMETHING. I, too, SOMETHING ABOUT EARS, SOMETHING ABOUT JANUARY the SOMETHINGTH blahblah. :/ There was one character that appeared quite a few times, but I have no idea what it is. There are people here who have a much better ability to read non-computerized text than I. Even if such a person can read it because of Chinese but not understand it because they are a noob at Japanese, post a transcription and I'll translate that. I just can't make heads or tails of too much since I have almost never had to read Japanese handwriting in my life—at least, this running script style. |

Rest of Page 1: "What should come has finally come. It is all natural. Do you understand (what I am referring to)? It is about the change in the social management system. I happen to fall under the category. (The current rule) is only valid until May 15 of next year and we have no idea of what happens after that. As for drafting, I have no worries because of my school. I am just not allowed to work as a waiter until January 15. I want to be in a position to contribute to the country soon. I am steadily progressing toward this goal. I am a fine man. I am determined to perform my duties once I have so decided." Page 2: "Right now, the mid-term exams of the second quarter (the fall term) have just started. Even though I have so much more to tell you, to write endlessly would take my time up. While fighting the mess created by City Hall, the exams have come. I want to be a serious student during exams if not at other times. Let us both hang in there. Will write again. Praying for my big brothert's strenuous efforts under the spaceous autumn sky. Last day of September From Yamada To Mr. Kuraishi" Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion

 . Also, is that a particular style of script? It looks "simplified," for lack of a better word. |
