Translation from Japanese to English: Illustrated side (front) first column -- "Dying in vain." Second column -- "A life with meaning." On verso: "What is an honorable death? That is surely to do brave deeds for your country until the end, and carry out your final moments. But there is no honor in dying in vain. What is the honorable life?
