An odd error in the translator’s note: Carpenter says Ichi’s home island of Iojima is “known as Iwo Jima in the West.” But Iwo Jima is nearly 1000 miles from the novel’s setting of southern Kyushu - how could Ichi’s dirt poor father afford to travel there? And Shokkichi, in town every couple of months to sell cows? Pretty sure it’s actually the Iōjima (硫黄島) just off the coast of Kyushu.
