GRAPEVINE, Page 17FOR THE RECORDBy JANICE CASTRO
In every culture, some atrocities linger generation after
generation, needing closure. Nearly 400 years after the fact,
Japan is preparing to return 20,000 noses that its army
amputated from Korean soldiers and civilians. The noses, as well
as the heads of Korean generals, were taken as spoils of war
during an invasion in 1597. Protected until now in a special
memorial, they will probably be buried in the Cholla province
of South Korea. That region suffered the worst of the
long-remembered brutalities.
