The 2014 Japanese animation film "Giovanni's Island" brings back various memories to former Japanese islanders vis-a-vis their relations with Russian children at the end of World War II. Friendship with them would be a key to solving territorial issues, according to one of the islanders. (Photo by Daisuke Suzuki) (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
