My dad(when he was around 50 years old)
In his thirty's( Amano hashidate is same view)
Surprisingly,We pose in a same way,see up and below.(It's really a gene.) 
Last Sunday was Father's Day,So I visited my parents home with a small souvenir for my dad. It was manjyu(お饅頭） and he likes it very very much.He likes something sweet, that helped his life, I’ll tell his story later. He is going to 88-years old on this coming birthday(25th November). It was very luck that Toshi came back to my home for fixing up his computer trouble, so we went together to visit them. Akira was busy for his thesis for Univ,this time he couldn't come with us.
Ok. I would like to tell about my Dad's story, He was born in kanzaki-tyou,hyogo pref in 1919. The year WWⅠ was over. From that age Japan started to put their foot for Mainland China to occupy and get some benefit from there. My dad had to go to Manchuria when he became 20 for the infantary army. He stayed there(in Hokusi,北支、he said) for a couple years. There was no tough fight for a while, but to prevent Russian invasion,they had to stay there.He said it was extreamly cold there in winter.

Anyway,when Japan's war stuatuion turned bad dramtically, his army had to go to Phillipine.So his army moved to Taiwan at first. Before shipping to Mindanao in phillipine, he suffered a crucial diareahh, probably because he ate lots of bananas there.(Since in manchuria, he had never eaten such tropical sweet fruits.)Eventually he was hospitalised. Then after a few months later,War was over with no conditional surrender of Japan. Then he heared his army which shipped to Mindanao was tortally destroyed and ended up almost no survivors from his army. he could survived because he ate many bananas.
He still said Banana saved his life. banana is a lifesaver for him. Yes , if Taiwan banana is not here on earth, my existence is not here either. I love bananas, too.
But after caming back to Japan, it was extrmly tough days for him. No food, No residence.But he could get a job in Gas Company somehow,and met my mother.....
Now he enjoys his days with my mother. I hope he could enjoy his life more and more.
