About this product

Product Information

Early in the month of September 1945, a small band of American soldiers on a reconnaissance mission through the central mountain region of Honshu, main island of Japan, arrived in Karuizawa. How they happened upon this tiny remote village remains a mystery, except as it turned out, Karuizawa offered the only habitable accommodation for miles in any direction. By the cessation of hostilities, due to unrelenting bombing attacks, almost every close by city and town stood in pathetic ruins. Here they found us, a motley colony of ragged, half-starved westerners from almost every type of background, thrown together, huddled in drafty, uncomfortable shelters away from cities now ravaged by war. Priests, nuns, diplomats, displaced businessmen, stranded sailors, Jewish refugees, White Russians, Europeans and Middle Easterners, including of course, my own family, one of the few Armenians finding themselves caught in Japan at the commencement of hostilities of World War II. The informal, easy-going, friendly manner of the Americans soon captivated all. Thus the occupation of a defeated nation commenced, and for my family and me, at least, changed our lives forever.

    Item arrived on time and was packaged well. The item was exactly as advertised and was amazing value compared to other places. The seller was also incredibly speedy at replying to my enquiries. Although it was not the fault of the seller (the packaging used to send the item was more than sufficient), my figure did have a manufacturing defect (the left hand was broken off). Thankfully superglue put it back in place and no one can tell it was broken.

    Item as described, well packaged, great price, unfortunately it took 9 days to arrive from stated dispatch date and seller didn’t respond to my request to investigate why tracking was still showing it as awaiting dispatch for a number of days.

    Item came perfectly described with good packaging. Only issue is dispatch time and communication takes a while, thankfully came in time for what it was intended. Price is really good and super informative tutorials inside.
