A freelance photojournalist has recorded the individual histories of 70 survivors of the war at home and abroad to show how they acted during wartime and how their experiences affected the rest of their lives.

"I wanted to record the testimonies of war survivors as they are aging and they sincerely responded to my interviews, apparently because they were aware that their time was running out," Munesuke Yamamoto, 60, said of his new work, a photo book titled "Engraved Memories as Victims and Victimizers."

The book carries a photo and testimony from each of the interviewees on a double-page spread.
