TO
THE REAL SOICHIS

Who, by tens and hundreds of thousands, from all the
corners of Dai Nippon, great and small, shizoku
and heimin, with a simplicity, a courage and a
faith that may well stand as models for all
the world, and a passion of loyalty passing
occidental understanding, await
only the occasion to demonstrate
their glad, unselfish
readiness to meet the
Emperor’s Wish
