『もう、きみには頼まない -- 石坂泰三の世界』（文春文庫）

Writer Saburo Shiroyama (1927-2007) liked business leaders with backbone. In his book "Mo Kimi ni wa Tanomanai: Ishizaka Taizo no Sekai" (I won't count on you any more: The world of Taizo Ishizaka), Shiroyama depicted the life of Ishizaka (1886-1975), who was president of Dai-ichi Mutual Life Insurance Co. during and after World War II.

Ishizaka, who was known for his outspoken views, became the chairman of Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) and led the business world through the period of high economic growth. Fascinated by his personality, Shiroyama chose the words that Ishizaka shot at the finance minister, whose attitude was noncommittal, as the title of his novel.

When Shiroyama died last month, writer Hiroyuki Itsuki said, "An age in which economic activities came hand in hand with aspirations has come to an end," in an obituary that ran in The Asahi Shimbun. I don't think Shiroyama would have been fascinated by the leaders of companies that make slight of their customers in this age.

Author's epitaph a reminder of waste of war

08/20/2007

Perhaps because he is a figure literally inseparable from the Showa Era (1926-1989), there has been a slew of new books published about novelist Saburo Shiroyama, who passed away this spring at 79.

He was a writer who spent most of his life thinking about war, motivated by his experience in the military. He joined up when he was 17.

When I had the privilege of meeting him the year before his death, our conversation turned to the topic of Kamikaze suicide pilots during World War II. Toward the end of the war, there was a suicide attack plane called Ohka (cherry blossom). The craft had no wheels. (It was attached to the bottom of a larger aircraft from which it was launched.) It was a pure weapon, created for the sole purpose of crashing into its enemy. Once, Shiroyama saw the real craft on display in an air museum in the United States. He was shocked at the small size of the cockpit.

A young pilot would have to contort his body to fit into this plane. He would become a part of this weapon.

Shiroyama said seeing the actual craft was an acute reminder of what those times were like, how individual humanity was totally ignored. People were treated as expendable objects.

He spoke of his affection and sadness for the fallen pilots. He was fighting back tears as he said, "I can never forgive the leaders who sent these young people to their deaths."

On this Aug. 15, the anniversary of the war's end, we were without Shiroyama for the first time. But there are still those like him, of the war generation, who question the responsibility of a leadership that sent human lives to the front line recklessly.

Susumu Iida, 84, of Yokohama, is racing against time, trying to write down how it really was in the battlefields in the southern Pacific, where so many of his fellow soldiers died of starvation and disease.

He himself had a close call with death. The military leadership repeated inferior operational plans, provided no supplies and let unspeakable numbers of soldiers perish in vain. Iida feels that turning a blind eye to that responsibility and calling the fallen soldiers "war-dead-turned-gods" will only muddy the truths of the war.

One of the new books published this summer about Shiroyama quoted a poem he wrote in his youth. He wrote that "wars sell off by measure those lives that still beat warm." We could hear his gritty anti-war message as we mark this 62nd summer.
