TO THE REAL SOICHIS
Who, by tens and hundreds of thousands, from all the corners of Dai Nippon, great and small, shizoku and heimin, with a simplicity, a courage and a faith that may well stand as models for all the world, and a passion of loyalty passing occidental understanding, await only the occasion to demonstrate their glad, unselfish readiness to meet the Emperor’s Wish
