In 1923, Tomokazu Sawada left Gyojo (present-day Seoul) under Japanese rule, where he was a teacher, and returned to his hometown, Fukuda Village, Chiba Prefecture, with his wife Shizuko. Sawada was a witness to the massacre committed by the Japanese army in Korea, but he hid that fact from Shizuko as well. https://solarmovie.us.org/ugetsu-monogatari-1953/
