Спасибо за очень интересную страничку! Несмотря на весь трагизм ситуации, в которой очутился автор рисунков, он сумел вложить немало юмора в свои работы и мне это очень понравилось.
Thanks for very interesting page! Despite all tragic element of a situation in which the author of drawings has come to be, he has managed to enclose a lot of humour in the works and it very much was pleasant to me.

Dear Mr. Kiuchi Masato, Your website is very touching and exciting! I am Irek Sabitov, a Russian journalist. My co-author is Bill Streifer from the USA. We are researching an American B-29 that was shot down by Soviet fighters over Hungnam on August 29, 1945. The crew was then interned at the Konan POW camp in Hungnam for 18 days, where they met Australian and British POWs as well as Russian soldiers and high-ranking Soviet officers. (The website http://www.my-jia.com/The_Flight_of_the_Hog_Wild has photos of the American crew, Allied POWs, Russians, and the camp.) We are preparing a publication now on this event. One of supposed explanation of downing an Ally plane by the Soviet fighters is that the Russians wanted to keep the American military from discovering a suspected Japanese nuclear facility in the area. From your website, we knew that your father Kiuchi Nobuo was at the Hungnam camp soon after the Hog Wild incident. We would like to ask Mr. Kiuchi Nobuo a couple questions on some details of his stay in the Hungnam camp. Can we hope that you will help us to contact with your father? Sincerely yours, Irek Sabitov. God bless your family!

 お言葉に甘えて、個人ページの自分史の中にリンクさせていただきました。父が亡くなった時、少年兵だった戦友の方々が「天国からモールス信号でそちらの様子を知らせてくれ、夜空を見上げてまってるぜ」というメッセージをもらいました。それに答えられるといいのですが。お父様の絵と管理人さんのアイデアが同じ様な体験をしたいろいろな人を結びつけているのですね!素敵です。

 私の父もシベリアに抑留されました。一昨年他界し、多趣味だった父の思い出のHPを作ろうと父のパソコンを開くと、シベリアの思い出がいっぱいでした。もちろん、二度とあってはいけないことですが、シベリアの思い出をつらく悲しいものだけにしたくないという気持ちが伝わる素敵な絵に共感を覚えました。私の父の経験や、絵も上記のURLに載せたので、のぞいてみてください。

Всегда любил Японию. После прочтения рассказа полюбил ещё сильнее,если это возможно. Оптимизм и вера в лучшее сохранило жизнь этому человеку, я думаю мне есть чему у него поучиться.

To Kiuchi Nobuo, Hello. My name is Kyle Nappi. I am 18 years old and I live in Ostrander, Ohio. I am a senior at Buckeye Valley High School in Delaware, Ohio. I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I have a big interest in history, specifically WWII. I collect military medals, patches, badges, insignia, field gear, and a very unique thing, veteran autographs. I have a scrapbook collection of autographs from military veterans who served during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, and the present war in Iraq. It would truly be an honor if I could add your autograph to my collection because you are a WWII Japanese soldier. I have been interested in history for over 7 years now, and I have collected the autographs and stories from nearly 2,000 veterans in 20 countries. The oldest veteran is currently 112 years old and the youngest enlisted at age 14. I have autographs from Pearl Harbor survivors, D-Day veterans, airman, POWs, the last WWI veterans, generals, U.S. Presidents, USS Indianapolis survivors, Holocaust survivors, and even German soldiers! I was recently interviewed by the American Legion for an article that appeared in their August magazine. Here is an internet link to the online article: http://www.legion.org/whatsnew/publications/newsletter/story?id=635 There have been several other people have taken the time to post my request online and in newspapers. There are too many for me to list, but if you go to Google or Yahoo and search 適yle Nappiyou can find most of them. Recently, I also had the privilege of going to Washington, D.C. during the early part of March. I was invited to the Pentagon for a Ceremony honoring WWI veterans. I was able to meet with the last American WWI veteran, Frank Buckles. I would like to add your autograph to my collection, along with some information regarding your WWII experiences. I was wondering if you could write a brief outline as to your military service and your experiences during WWII. If you would write back, along with some information about your military experiences, it would be greatly appreciated. I would really appreciate it if you could do this for me. It would truly be an honor if I could add your autograph to my collection along with some information about your military service. Thank you very much for your time. Sincerely, Kyle Nappi

 今母校の先輩で抑留11年を経験された方の手記の校正を手掛けています。「トイレ」や「楽劇団」など木内信夫様の作品と酷似した話があります。そこでこの手記の挿絵として作品のいくつかを掲載させていただけないかと考えています。営利を目的としたものではありません。原稿を見てご検討頂きたいと思いますので連絡先を上記アドレスにご連絡いただけないでしょうか。

Good luck to you and your father :))

 画集にとても感動しました。私の亡祖父もシベリア抑留されていたので感慨深いというか何というか言葉にできません。祖父がよく言っていたのはロシア人は計算ができないとか言っていたので、その画集をみて笑ってしまいました。ご飯も足りなくて馬だか牛の糞をじゃがいもだと思って奪い合ったりとかのお話も聞きました。帰国した時は骨と皮になっていてしばらく魂の抜けたような半年間を過ごしたようです。その後は家族の為に60歳になるまで頑張ってサラリーマンとして働いていました。戦争に行ったのが30歳くらいで帰ってきたのは37歳くらいの時だそうです。本当にご苦労様と言いたいですね。
