Muramatsu is a small village nestled in the mountains of western Japan. Less than a month after the end of World War II, news arrived that over a thousand American soldiers would be stationed in the old army barracks on the edge of town. None of the residents had even seen a foreigner outside of wartime propaganda, and almost immediately fear, panic, and wild rumors gripped the town.Based on real events, SEPTEMBER 16, 1945 is the fictional story of an eight-year old boy and his family during the week of the arrival. Told with humor, sadness, and the natural curiosity of a small child, this story documents a changing world and how one community faced an uncertain future together.
