It was my first experience to attend Yamakita/Ashigara Internment Camp memorial service where some of our St. Joseph, a Marianist School, grads were put into hard life during 1942 to 1945 war time. It was strangely St. Joseph/Marianists summer house turned into Kanagawa prefectural internment camp. I asked the Royal British Legion to dedicate the wreath for them. I met 1971 St. Joseph College graduate who walks every year to this distant site from a station. It takes 1 and half hours walk from the nearest station to this mountain site. I am very amazed and respect him for doing it. He said he wants to feel how hard it was for his grandfather. Mr. Isaka, now a Japanese citizen, have three brothers graduating St. Joseph College in 1970's. I will tell this to the Marianist schools and friends to remember it.
