敵の最大拠点長沙を屠ったわが精鋭は更に進撃の巨歩を緩めず断崖絶壁もなんのその、まさに湖南の大陸を呑まんの意気を示している
"Our elite soldiers who have demolished the enemy's largest base in Changsha do not slow down the pace. Getting over the cliffs, they show their strong will to conquer the land of Hunan." (introduced on June 23, 1944)

This photo series is very valuable as a collection of hundreds original prints by a news press Yomiuri Shinbun in the early 1940s.

SUBJECT - The ashes of a Japanese warrior being carried from an aircraft. Judging by the senior military saluting (far left looks like Hideki Tojo) then it is possibly Admiral Yamamoto?. DATE - 1943.

南溟のクエゼリンに壮烈な戦死を遂げられた侯爵音羽海軍少佐の英霊を御出迎へ遊ばす朝香大将宮殿下と同孚彦王殿下(海許三一)昭和１９・４・１２
"His Imperial Highness General Asaka and His Imperial Highness Prince Takahiko Asaka meet the soul of Lt. Commander Marquis Otowa who was killed in action at Kwajalein Atoll in the Southern Pacific. (dated April 12, 1944)"

Very impressive as General Asaka is father of Takahiko and Otowa. This is a scene of sad family reunion :salute:

The photo collection of Japan Press Research Institute covers hundreds photos ranging from 1937 to 1945 but most of them were provided for local interest. Members who are not necessarily interested in Japan/Japanese would not be interested. I put priority on the period around the Pacific War but if I may derail and if you may be interested -

People sing to celebrate the new national song "Patriotic March" introduced to the Japanese people in December, 1937.
