IJA Itazuke Airfield (present Fukuoka Int'l Airport) in December, 1945.

This area was once occupied by ancient China (Tang) in the 7th century.
2,000 troops are said stayed there. Some of them moved to Nara, the capital of ancient Japan, later to teach Chinese political system as well as characters.
Tang retreated from Japan and Korea decades later.
