Photos of WWII Japanese soldiers

Photo taken on July 28, 2024, at Misaka shrine in the western Japan city of Yamaguchi. During World War II, photos of Japanese soldiers were sent to the shrine by family members as it was believed that doing so would help the photographed person dodge bullets and survive. The shrine has been trying to return the photos to the families since the end of the war but about 14,000 photos still remain.
