Before Leaving for War – At the Photo Studio
Background
The first photo was taken in 1941 (Showa 16) when the elder brother was dispatched to the front. The second photo was taken in 1943 (Showa 18) when the younger brother—my father—was about to depart. He wore his brother’s suit and struck the exact same pose for the photograph. Somehow, my father’s expression appears to carry a sense of pride.
