Very interesting Shinpachi . Do you how long this part was honoured (or if it is honoured nowadays)?

The treaty is said over on September 9, 1945 when Japan's Govermental General in Korea signed the instrument of surrender.
However, few historians claim that the treaty is still alive because it was a treaty between Japan and Korea, which had nothing to do with the Allies.
 
I thought that color photos introduced in Japanese magazines of the 1940s were generally terrible but an editor said "This is the best quality color photograph you can see at the moment."
