Great story.
Comment on the Japan not telling students etc about their war time atrocities, well I see why they would not, but they should. I remember being at the Naval Aviation Museum back home in Florida one time when I was growing up, there was a group of Japanese students and their chaperone/translator who translated what the tour guide(an elderly Marine Aviator from WW II) and hurried them past certain exhibits to avoid questions I am sure. I guess to a degree I understand it, but then one must know the past mistakes of their people so do not repeat them.
