In the aftermath of the Pacific War and Japan's capitulation, Mrs
Yumi Goto and her family lived in the small community of Muramatsu,
where they had relocated to get away from Tokyo. Yumi Goto was an
English speaking graduate of one of Japan's top universities for
women, and when a contingent of American soldiers was sent to
Muramatsu as a garrison force, she became an interpreter. The
sudden influx of more than 1,800 Americans into a rural Japanese
community was potentially traumatic, and their imminent arrival
made the townspeople "depressed and fearful". To everyone's
surprise, they found the soldiers to be "open-hearted and humane",
and the two sides coexisted peacefully. Those Days in Muramatsu is
a testimony to the capacity of ordinary people from vastly
different backgrounds to coexist harmoniously, even in the
aftermath of war.
