Description
[Machine Translation] At the end of the Edo period, Tomonojo, the heir to a pawnshop in Kokura, enlisted in the Kibeitai (irregular forces) with the idea that there was no way he would let a foreigner injure his home town. He was impressed by the unit's ideals of loyalty to the king, loyalty to the nation, loyalty to expel the barbarians, and universal military service to all four peoples, which became the Takagi family tradition. His eldest son, Tomohiko, went through the Military Academy and served in the Russo-Japanese War, but he was too ill to participate in the battle, so he had great sympathy for his son Shintaro's joining the army. This is the epic story of three generations of a family, spanning about 70 years. The author, known for "Mugi to Soldier" (The Soldier Trilogy) and other works, based on his own experiences in the army and as a military writer, vividly depicts a family's life.
