Mister Park: December 31, 1943
It is now a little over two years since the start of the Greater East Asian War. Japan has invaded and conquered the British colonial territories of Burma and Singapore, and then, on the front lines of the Burma theater, beat back the British-Indian counterattack from India and completely foiled their plans to retake Arakan. After that Japan intercepted the British Air Force, which was firing on our units blindly but tenaciously. Accompanying the military achievements of the Imperial Army is its divine mission to liberate Asia, which has progressed through the solemn declarations of independence issued by Burma in August and the Philippines in October, as well as the establishment of the Provisional Government of Free India.
—Diary of a Japanese Military Brothel Manager is a book of diaries written by a clerk who worked in Japanese military brothels, also known as "comfort stations", in Burma and Singapore during World War II. The author, a Korean businessman known only as Mister Park, kept a daily diary between 1922 and 1957.
