Following Jonai Jutakushi, we recorded interviews with seven individuals at Jonai Jutaku (城内住宅). The first interviewees were Mr. and Mrs. Nakao. Mr. Nakao has experienced air raids on both Tokyo and Fukuoka (Tokyo Daikushu and Fukuoka Daikushu). He made aircraft parts for sea planes at the underground factory in the Wajiro Mountains as a part of the labor mobilization campaign (Kinro Doin). The trial flights of the completed sea planes were conducted at Gan-no-su airport, but most of the aircraft were duds and didn't fly. The second couple interviewed was Mr. and Mrs. Yoshida. Mr. Yoshida fled Pusan, losing everything his family owned in the process. In addition, after he returned to Japan, his older brother died. The next interviewee was Mr. Matsuda, who was mobilized for labor as a coal stoker on a steam locomotive (蒸気機関車石炭くべ). He also witnessed air raids on Fukuoka, and his brother was killed in the field. There was a large old nettle tree in Jonai Jutaku. At one time this area had been a drill court and the nettle tree was the marker for foot races. Those who came in last had to run another lap. The soldiers have strong memories of this tree. The fourth interview was conducted with Mr. and Mrs. Kobayashi. They were asked about their memories of the Fuku-Haku area(福博地域) in Fukuoka City during the Taisho and Showa periods.
