Tsuguko Taira (62), director of the Tsushima-Maru Memorial Museum, faced this day with mixed emotions. Her mother, the late Keiko, was involved in the Tsushima-Maru incident at the age of nine and lost her older brother, grandmother, and cousin who were on board. In 2014, the former Emperor visited the museum. An opportunity was arranged for him to meet with survivors, but Keiko, who was a storyteller, was absent.
