The Legend of Yamato

Wow! Yamato lives in such a luxurious room.

What's with all this lavish furniture? You want to say as expected from Hotel Yamato ?

Fufufu, that's a secret

By the way, about Operation Kikusui where we sunk... Kikusui (菊水) or Chrysanthemum & Water is the crest of Kusunoki Masashige. For his helping Emperor Go-Daigo against Kamakura Bakufu, he is allowed to use Chrysanthemum in his crest, a symbol reserved only for imperial family. Later he's sent to fight against big army of Ashikaga Takauji because the Emperor refused his idea of retreating from capital despite that Masashige is one of the best general in Japan at the time. Although knowing it's a suicide mission, Masashige prioritized his loyalty to the Emperor and went with it anyway. He's awarded by Emperor Meiji and he became symbol of loyalty. His crest is used as symbol for kamikaze pilots.

That time, Yamato was given money for salary and supplies after she arrived in Okinawa. The value was 510'805 Yen and 3 Sen, or almost 1 billion Yen in today's money.

What happened to it?

Navy Accounting Department in Kure wrote off this money. There's a legend that all that money probably sank with Yamato to the bottom of the sea.
