Riassunto

THE KAMIKAZE PILOTS OR “WINDS OF GOD” WERE CREATED IN 1945, DURING JAPAN’S TWILIGHT YEAR OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. THE WORLD LOOKED UPON THIS MONSTROUS CREATION OF “HUMAN BOMBS” WITH DISBELIEF BUT THE YOUNG PATRIOTIC MEN OF JAPAN WHO SIGNED UP FOR THE TERRIFYING ATTACK MISSIONS OF THE KAMIKAZE PROGRAM WERE UNSTOPPABLE. WOMEN LOOKED ON WITH ENVY AND FRUSTRATION AT THEIR OWN INADEQUACIES WHICH ALLOWED ONLY MEN INTO THE PROGRAM, BUT DID ANYONE OF THEM REALLY TAKE THE DARING STEP OF BREAKING THIS RULE? ""JAPANESE ROSE"" IS A HAUNTING STORY OF THE SECRET LIFE AND LOVE OF SAYURI MIYAMOTO, THE WOMAN WHO DID DARE TO TAKE ON THE WHOLE JAPANESE MILITARY TO FOLLOW HER DREAM OF BECOMING A KAMIKAZE PILOT AND PAID DEARLY FOR THAT DREAM. “NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW THERE WAS A FEMALE KAMIKAZE PILOT TO DISHONOR AND DISGRACE THE DISCIPLINE OF THE JAPANESE MILITARY SO FROM TODAY, YOU SAYURI MIYAMOTO ARE OFFICIALLY DEAD!” THIS BOOK ALSO TAKES READERS ON A SAD JOURNEY THROUGH THE RAVAGES OF WAR TORN JAPAN SEEN FROM THE EYES OF A YOUNG WOMAN WHO CHERISHED THE IMPOSSIBLE AND FORBIDDEN DREAM OF BECOMING A FEMALE KAMIKAZE PILOT. “WHO IS THIS? AND WHY DO YOU CALL ME BY THIS NAME? IT HASN’T BEEN USED FOR 60 YEARS!” THE CRISP IRRITABLE VOICE HAD CHANGED TO A SOFT, QUIVERING WHISPER LIKE THE MOANING OF AN INJURED ANIMAL AND IT MADE MAYUMI UNCOMFORTABLE AT HER INTRUSION INTO SOMEONE’S OBVIOUSLY PAINFUL PAST. WITH THESE WORDS, SAYURI MIYAMOTO FINALLY BROKE THE SILENCE THAT HAD BEEN IMPOSED ON HER FOR DECADES. BUT HISTORY WILL NEVER ADMIT OR ACCEPT HER EXISTENCE SO WAS SHE REAL OR A MYTH BORN OF THE FEVERISH IMAGINATION OF ONE WOMAN WITH AN UNFULFILLED DREAM? पर्ल हार्बरच्या हल्ल्यात यशस्वी झालेल्या जपानी राष्ट्राची आगेकूच.... दुस-या महायुद्धात दोस्त राष्ट्राकडून मार खाणारे जपानी राष्ट्र पार खिळखिळे झाले होते. राष्ट्रप्रेमाने प्रेरित होऊन सतरा-अठरा वर्षांची पोरंही युद्धात सैनिक म्हणून भरती होतात. मुली नर्स आणि इतर कामे करतात. सायुरी मियामोटो अशीच एक तरुणी. टोकियोला नर्स म्हणून काम करत असताना ती आपली मैत्रिण रैकोच्या वाग्दत वराचा मृत्यू पाहते. युद्धात तिचा भाऊ बोटीवर आणि मैत्रीण रैको बॉम्बहल्ल्यात मरण पावते. ह्या सर्वांचा सूड घ्यायचा म्हणून ती 'कामिकाझी' पायलट बनते, तेही पुरूष वेषांतर करून. पुरुषांच्या बरोबर राहणे, जगणे, प्रशिक्षण घेणे ह्यात हे वेषांतर उघड होते, तेही तिचा प्रशिक्षक आणि प्रियकर असणा-या ताकुशीकडे. ह्यात पुरुषांचे वेषांतर करून लष्करात घुसलेली ही स्त्री. ह्या गुन्ह्यांची तिला काय शिक्षा मिळते?.... ही कहाणी तशी अद्भूत, विलक्षणच....
