Naoko Satake, a 49-year-old Hokkaido Shimbun journalist, shows on Oct. 6, 2015, her book compiled from an award-winning serial on a crackdown on Hokkaido teachers during World War II. The serial, which was run in the newspaper published in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido and which received this year's JCJ Award of the Japan Congress of Journalists, is based on prison memos of the teachers arrested and detained on charges of violating the prewar Peace Preservation Law by teaching children how to write compositions in a frank manner.
