Summary

[edit]
Description
日本語: 1949年（昭和24年）6月27日、シベリア抑留中の元日本兵らが高砂丸に乗り京都府舞鶴に帰還することになった。ソビエトのプロパガンダを受けた彼らが帰国することにより、日本に共産主義、いわゆる“赤”が広まることを恐れていたアメリカは、この出来事を重要視していた。マイダンスは朝鮮半島へ出向いていたため、このニュースを誰に撮影させるか熟考して、三木に声を掛けることに決めた。舞鶴に到着した三木は、甲板での帰還兵の姿や下船の様子など、無我夢中でローライフレックスのシャッターを切った。そして、帰還兵の中の一人に声をかけ京都の西陣にある自宅までついて行き、庭で行水をする姿まで撮影しストーリーを作った。『ライフ』に写真を送るとすぐに「巻頭特集に使うので撮影者の名前を使っていいか許可を取れ」と返事が来た。『ライフ』米国内版1949年7月18日号に「日本の“赤色部隊”祖国に帰る」とタイトルが付けられ撮影者ジュン・ミキの署名入りで7ページ18枚の写真が掲載された。
帰還兵の一人、山田国典さんの帰郷をひき続き取材するため、私は京都西陣の家にまでついて行った。帰り着くと、山田さんは家の前に集まった近所の人たちに、帰郷の挨拶をした。その挨拶の中で彼は、拘留中に学んだ共産主義について語り始め、近所の人たちは呆気にとられている。正装の父親は、黙って隣に立ち、山田さんの話を聞いていた。帰宅した山田さんは、庭先で母親の介添えにより行水をつかい、帰国の喜びをかみしめているようだった。母親は終始陽気にふるまっている。この後、家族と囲む食卓には、笑声が絶えず、久しぶりに一家団らんの楽しみが山田家によみがえった。長い抑留生活の厳しさや、京都駅前で入党したことなど、彼はこのひととき忘れたかのようにみえた。
English: On June 27, 1949, former Japanese soldiers detained in Siberia were to return to Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture, on the Takasago Maru. The United States, which was afraid that communism, the so-called "red", would spread to Japan as they returned to Japan after receiving Soviet propaganda, emphasized this event. Carl Mydans had been to the Korean Peninsula, so he decided to talk to Miki after pondering who would shoot the news. Upon arriving in Maizuru, Miki released the Rolleiflex shutter, crazy about the appearance of the returning soldiers on the deck and the appearance of disembarkation. Then, I called out to one of the returning soldiers, followed him to his home in Kyoto, and even photographed him running water in the garden to create a story. Immediately after sending the photo to "LIFE", I received a reply saying "I want to use the photographer's name because it will be used for the opening function. Please get permission. "The July 18, 1949 issue of "LIFE" in the United States was titled "Japan's Red Army gets back home" and featured 18 photographs on 7 pages with the signature of photographer Jun Miki.
I went to Nishijin's house in Kyoto to continue to cover the return of one of the returning soldiers, Kuninori Yamada. When he got home, Mr. Yamada greeted the neighbors who gathered in front of his house. In his greeting, he began to talk about the communism he learned during his detention, and his neighbors were dismayed. The full-dress father stood next to him silently, listening to Mr. Yamada. Mr. Yamada, who returned home, seemed to be enjoying the joy of returning to Japan by using water in the garden with the help of his mother. The mother is behaving cheerfully from beginning to end. After this, laughter was constantly heard at the dining table surrounded by the family, and the fun of the family was revived for the first time in a long time. The harshness of his long detention life and the fact that he joined the party in front of Kyoto Station made him seem to have forgotten this moment.
