'Having lived 11 months at the front during the Korean War and received only two showers during these 11 months, I'm on the way back from Korea to Japan. After being rid of the dirty clothes that I had and taking a shower, I was dressed with new clothes. After I went to the studio to take this picture with the flash working with gunpowder.'
