Makes you think

As do Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this museum forces you to think of the way human beings can react to the extreme stress of war, and to the comfort of a wealthy peace. The video presentation of the training and indoctrination of the young pilots, the poignant last letters home, the rusty remains of a crashed Kamikaze airplane. And just when you hope mankind might have learnt from the sins of the past, you walk into the 'souvenir shop' which is selling Kamikaze T-shirts in child sizes

Such a waste of life.

A very interesting museum about the Japanese Kamikaze pilots, I guess the same as every war museum your left thinking ‘what a waste of life’.. these poor very young men, convinced they are killing themselves to protect their families, just another example of the people in power having no value on life. A very interesting, thought provoking visit.
