		Shiro's paintings were shown at several prestigious exhibitions including the government sponsored Bunten, where they caught the eye of Watanabe Shozaburo, a Tokyo publisher.
		Shiro was intrigued by the independence of sosaku hanga printmakers who carved and printed their own designs.
		Although Shiro's self-made prints lack the refined carving of his shin hanga designs, they have a simplicity and expressiveness that is very appealing.

		Shiro Ishii though, is a heck of teacher.
		Shiro first wants everyone to commit suicide, but then he becomes convinced it would be far better to destroy Unit 731 and let everyone live so that they can go back to society without remorse and become pillars of Japan's medical profession, all the while pretending that none of this ever happened.
		Shiro gives the order and they blow everything up and kill all the remaining prisoners and then sit around at the train station waiting for that midnight train to Zhejiang.

		Shiro Ishii was an intelligent Army microbiologist whose flamboyant personality soon attracted attention from his senior officers.
		Ishii's first bio-warfare experiments were concentrated on diseases such as anthrax and the plague.
		Ishii's work ensured a growing empire and by 1939 he was able to relocate a massive, dedicated facility to new headquarters at Pingfan, Manchuria which rivalled in size Nazi Germany's Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

		Ishii Shiro was a brilliant and grandiose Army microbiologist.
		Normally we gave them infected material to drink and carried out autopsies to ascertain the symptoms." We had to observe the progress (of the diseases) and we had to ascertain the potency of the various viruses." Dysentery was, Shimada said, studied "as a weapon." Blood samples were regularly drawn from POW's "for their research" value.

		Once research in laboratories showed promising results, Ishii, his superiors, and his collaborators agreed that more extensive tests were needed in order to prove the viability of bw and cw weapons being developed.

	Japan refusing to accept its responsibilities
		Since 1940, in Chinese theater, Ishii Shiro had led his Unit 731 to engage in biological warfare by attacking Ningpo, Chinhua, Chuchou of Chechiang province (during the Japanese-Soviet war at Nomonhan, Mongolia in the summer of 1939, Unit 731 was dispatched to the front to make bacterial assault).
		Ishii and Japanese military seized the opportunity to move the center for bacteriological research at the Army's Medical College established in 1930 to northern Manchuria for expansion with a view to making the Soviet Union the hypothetic enemy.
		Ishii's tactics of resistance was to speak as little as he could and minimize the magnitude of biological warfare research as much as possible.

		After noting that the Geneva Protocol of 1925 prohibited "the use of bacteriological methods of warfare," a young Japanese army officer and bacteriologist, Dr. Shiro Ishii, nonetheless convinced his superiors in 1935 that he be allowed to research the many potentialities of germ warfare.
		Ishii's scientists concentrated their studies on anthrax, as well as typhus, plague, cholera, botulism, smallpox, tularemia and encephalitis.
		Ishii's mammoth complex nearly doubled in size and personnel after Japanese forces claimed that Russian agents attacked Japanese soldiers in China with anthrax and cholera, killing nearly 6,000 troops and 2,000 horses.

		Ishii began to vigorously advocate for the Japanese army to create a biological weapons research program.
		Ishii felt that in order to ensure the effectiveness of the biological weapons he was developing, he needed to test them on humans.
		Medical schools in Japan at the time Ishii was studying to become a doctor did not include a course on medical ethics in their curriculums, and students did not take the Hippocratic oath upon graduating.

	JAPAN'S DARK BACKGROUND 1881-1945
		The founder of Unit 731 was General Ishii Shiro, who was born in the village of Chiyoda on June 25th, 1892.
		Ishii had been gathering the scientific elite of Japan around him as his unit grew and now he had a very firm base to use them from.
		Ishii commanded that every member of the group take the secret of their experiments to the grave with them, threatening to find them if they did and ordering none of them to go into public work back in Japan.

		And it is also true that the U.S. government used the information of Japanese BW to their advantage after the war ended and the Japanese men who involved themselves in the unit's activity, including the leader of the unit Ishii Shiro himeself, escaped from the indictments of the Tokyo Trial.
		In fact, according to the U.S. Army Intelligence reports in which some American scientists interviewed Ishii on several occasions just after the war, only two subjects (anthrax and the fl plague) were recognised of the validity amongst other researches of the unit and they were perfectly preventable.
		I am quite sure, somehow, that this atrocity story may turn out in the future, when more of sufficient documents were declassified by the U.S. government, as a story of a poor "mad" scientist who was not quite a "genius" but too ambitious and too overestimated by his enemies, which was, I would say, tragic.

		Ishii then organized a vaccination drive, but delivered injections that actually contained the virulent strain of the bacteria, creating an epidemic.

		His perverted imagination was captured by the possibilities of biological and chemical warfare, and in the Japan of the 1920s and '30s, he found supporters in the increasingly nationalistic and fanatical military.
		The man who succeeded Ishii Shiro as commander of Unit 731, Dr Masaji Kitano, became head of Japan's largest pharmaceutical company, the Green Cross.

		Shiro Ishii, whom American intelligence had found living under an assumed name in Japan, finally admitted his crimes.
		In all, Unit 731 killed about 850 "patients." "The human subjects," one American study later concluded "were used in exactly the same manner as other experimental animals." The Japanese discovered, for instance, that if you put 10 people in a room infested with 20 plague-bearing fleas per square meter, 4 would die of plague.

		Ishii had deployed a wide range of biological and chemical agents against Chinese and Allied troops.
		Ishii infected prisoners with tetanus; gave them typhoid-laced tomatoes; developed plague-infected fleas; infected women with syphilis; performed dissections on live prisoners; and exploded germ bombs over dozens of men tied to stakes.
		In a deal hatched by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Ishii turned over more than 10,000 pages of his "research findings" to the US Army, avoided prosecution for war crimes and was invited to lecture at Ft. Detrick, the US Army bio-weapons center in Frederick, Maryland.
