Tatsusei Yogi: April 29, 1945
Tatsusei Yogi was a Japanese civilian.
We walked all night. The children were so tired that they did not speak. We finally reached Kochinda but could not find a cave or hiding place. We walked and walked and finally reached Tomoi by morning. The only cave we could find was filled with muddy water, so we had to stand there all day. We rested under the sky in the evening. It was a good place since there was almost no bombing there.
