	Sugamo Prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sugamo Prison (Sugamo Kōchi-sho,Kyūjitai:巢鴨拘置所,Shinjitai:巣鴨拘置所) was built in the 1920's for political prisoners, using the prisons of Europe as a model.
		After Japan's surrender, the US Eighth Army commissioned Sugamo to house Japan's war criminals as they awaited trial before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.
		In 1971, with all of Japan's war criminals either dead or on parole, Sugamo Prison was demolished, and in 1978 the Sunshine 60 building, at its completion the tallest in Japan, was built on its place.

	History-Sugamo Prison (U. S. 8th Army)
		She was confined at Sugamo for a year, a month and a day from 1945 to 1946 while her case was under investigation and was eventually released for lack of evidence of any wrong doing.
		There are many stories relating to the Sugamo prison, most of which have never been made available to either the American or the Japanese public by the International Military Tribunal, Far East, which in turn never received the publicity and attention afforded to the Nuremberg Trials.
		The morale of the troops assigned to Sugamo was very high due to the nature of the duties to be performed.

	JPRI Occasional Paper No. 33
		In this regard, the jailers at Sugamo were in an especially privileged position, for they were in close contact with the elite group of Class A prisoners who were the focus of the world's attention.
		Sugamo officers' ranks were drastically depleted from 40 to 7, and enlisted men were reduced from 400 to less than 100.
		Both men arrived at Sugamo in 1945 with drawing skills acquired as a result of their primary schooling; however, neither considered himself an artist, and it was only as a reaction to their imprisonment that they fully developed their abilities over the course of incarceration.

	Review of Utsumi Aiko's Sugamo Prison: The Peace Movement of the War Criminals (Tokyo: Yoshikawa Kobunkan, 2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Amid these developments, a peace movement was born at Sugamo in the form of a social sciences study group.
		From it came the anonymous letter to the editor published in the October 1952 Sekai: "We are Not Coupons to Exchange for Rearmament: on the meaning of the movement to release war criminals." In reaction there was an incident—"A former officer, a colonel, tried zealously to find the miscreant, and the disturbance grew large" (161).
		Thus it remains necessary today to reconsider problems of Japanese society in light of the specific space "Sugamo Prison." The author says in her conclusion (183): "‘How to exist in an organization?’ ‘What are orders?’ ‘Can unconstitutional orders be refused?’—these problems of B and C-Class war criminals are not problems of the past.

		Through reconstruction, Sugamo became a virtual paradise with special quarters for the men - mess hall, PX, officers and enlisted mens clubs, a theater, baseball and football fields, modern hospital, vegetable gardens and landscaped grounds to house the raw recruits who served as guards for the Japanese prisoners.
		Among those recruits is the tale of a relationship between an 18 year old, impressionable private from the potato fields of Idaho and a 61 year old Major General, former economic advisor to Emperor Hirohito, who became the young mans mentor and father-figure.
		It is ironic the young man from the Idaho potato fields suffered from post traumatic stress after his tour of duty at Sugamo while his mentor, General Suzuki, served his prison sentence to return to Japan to become a multimillionare and die at the age of 100.

		There are pencil drawings; a cigarette case woven from strips of toilet paper; a picture frame made of rolled-up pages of Life magazine and rice paste.
		His collection "deals with issues like the politics of memory--who gets to tell the story and how." Fine--so long as we retain our memory of the fact that the prisoners in Sugamo were accused war criminals.
		Some of them, like Hideki Tojo, plotted Japan's aggressions and were executed for it; others abused American and Australian prisoners of war; others treated Japan's Chinese and Korean subjects like animals.

		A brisk six-minute walk from Sugamo station (Yamanote, Mita lines), Shilingol is in a quiet residential neighborhood, housed in what looks like a converted coffee shop.
		The space is unassuming but charming - traditional Mongolian paintings hang from the walls, and every surface is covered by bric-a-brac and tchotchkes - spice jars, tea-making equipment, musical instruments, wooden carvings of horses, stuffed horses, miniature bows and arrows, a chess set, and some odd-looking hats.
