Hirohito Quote

When I consider the dead and their families, I cannot repress my mental agony.


Draft of undelivered speech (1948); published in the magazine Bungeishunju as quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald (11 June 2003).


When I consider the dead and their families, I cannot repress my mental agony.

When I consider the dead and their families, I cannot repress my mental agony.

When I consider the dead and their families, I cannot repress my mental agony.

When I consider the dead and their families, I cannot repress my mental agony.
