Statement of Ogawa (18 July 1947) Ogawa recalls the time Matake came back to the Kaikosha Hospital for a visit after he was taken in the army— it was the only time Matake had dinner there after induction in the army. Matake, Miyamoto, Komori and Kanehisa sat on the tatami at 2 small tables on a raised end of the room. Miyamoto proposed a toast to the senior officer present, Matake. They had salad, soup, and fish. Ogawa made arrangements for the meal, told the cook to prepare something for Matake. The fish was served with a separate plate for each person. Believes the fish was mackerel, boiled in shoyu sauce. The fish was light brown. Matake said that he wished that the medical corpsmen at the Beppu Hospital could have such a meal. No human liver served. |

Matake, a capt., was ordered to be assistant director of the hospital (there was no director.) Matake was in charge of the hospital, made reports. For a short time after Matake arrived they (Komori and Matake) both made reports, then only Matake, including April, May and June. |
