Happy Holidays to you and yours Shinpachi. I tried to find a Christmas photo with Japanese soldiers in it but couldn't find anything. Was it frowned upon during the war?

Christianity was not banned but there were not so many believers.
Christmas was also celebrated in the POW camps like Ohmori in Japan.
