開戦８０年を迎える太平洋戦争。プロパガンダ報道が前線の「勝利」を伝え続ける中、カメラは戦時下の日常を克明に捉えていた。自分の写真を慰問袋にしのばせて戦地の兵隊に送る女性、「少国民」と呼ばれた子どもたちの学童疎開での生活、雨の神宮外苑で学徒出陣に挑む学生のボロボロの長靴、そして新たな支配者となった日本人に何度もお辞儀する南方の人々。熱狂から絶望へ、戦場ではない１３４７日の銃後の生活を発掘映像で描く。
Eighty years after the outbreak of war, while propaganda reports continued to show "victory" on the front lines, the camera captured the everyday life of the war effort in detail. From enthusiasm to despair, 1347 days of life after the guns are depicted in this excavated footage.
The Pacific War is approaching its 80th anniversary. While propaganda reports continued to show the "victory" of the front lines, the camera clearly captured everyday life during the war. A woman sending a photo of herself to a soldier in the war zone in a comfort bag, children called "Sho-kokumin" living in evacuation camps for school children, students' tattered boots in the rainy Jingu Gaien Garden as they go off to battle, and people from the south bowing repeatedly to the new Japanese rulers. From frenzy to despair, this film depicts life after the guns for 1,347 days, not on the battlefield, through excavated footage.
