Japanese History
[Introduction to the Contents]
Her grandmother, Asae, was born in 1910, the year of the "Annexation of Korea", as the eldest daughter of a family that runs a spinning company in Kurume.
Because her eldest son died young, her father, who is the manager of the company, married her to the successor son of the zaibatsu family in order to ensure the safety of management.
Asae, who had been active and strong in independence since she was a child, left for Berlin on the condition that she learn new techniques in Berlin.
At the university in Berlin where she studied abroad, the two met with Mr. Wu Yi, who was a lifelong partner.
After that, they lived together in Manchuria and Korea, and then in Kurume where Asae's family home is located.
While following the footsteps of the couple, who were connected by the bond of "birds of the wings and branches of the lilies," they also depict the things they saw in Manchuria and Korea, which were incorporated into the Empire of Japan, as well as aspects of the Manchurian Incident and the Japan-China total war.
