Essays and Essays : This is the original work of the film 『 Organ 』 released in January 2019. At the end of the Pacific War, Togoshi Nursery School, located near the Keihin Industrial Area in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo Prefecture, was hit by air attacks day by day, and the lives of the children were in danger. In the midst of this situation, young nursery teachers in their 20 s decided to carry out the unprecedented mass evacuation of preschoolers. The group evacuation was decided to be carried out jointly with Aiiku Chihokan Center in Tokyo Prefecture. With food shortages all over the country, they were finally found at Myoraku Temple, an unstaffed temple in Hasuda City, Saitama Prefecture. At this time, 11 nursery teachers and 53 children were evacuated. They took care of the children who were sad, there was a serious food shortage, and the children who became orphans due to the Great Tokyo Air Raid. Before long, air attacks frequently came to Saitama Prefecture, where the evacuation nursery school is located, and young nursery teachers began to wonder, "Is what we are doing right? Will the war ever end?" This is a non-fiction book that focuses on the existence of "evacuation nursery school" that has not been known until now, and describes how the war involves children based on careful interviews with people concerned.
