In Japanese folklore, there is a popular tale known as "The Japanese Mom Son Magic Mirror." This story revolves around a magical mirror that possesses the power to bring back the dead and grant any wish. The mirror is said to be located deep within a mystical forest, protected by various supernatural beings. According to the legend, a young boy named Takeshi comes across this mysterious mirror while wandering in the woods. Curiosity takes over him, and he gazes into the mirror. To his amazement, Takeshi sees his deceased mother staring back at him.
Spiritual objects
At the Governor s residence of Plantation House, a distress signal was dispatched to Ascension Island, calling for reinforcements to put down the revolt. While the act of rationing had managed to briefly stop a return to the bitter memories of the Great War and food insecurities, by late March the situation was becoming dire.
To his amazement, Takeshi sees his deceased mother staring back at him. Overwhelmed by nostalgia and longing, he decides to ask the mirror to bring his mother back to life. The magic mirror acknowledges Takeshi's plea and grants his wish.
St. Helena Emergency
One of the remotest islands in the world, St. Helena was first discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. The island became a crown colony in 1834 and its first governor, Major-General George Middlemore, arrived in 1836. The island's importance waned with the establishment of a coaling station in Aden (and its fortunes further declined with the construction of the Suez Canal) with the island's economy being based around coffee and flax.
The islanders were made aware of their vulnerability to naval attack, despite extensive fortifications, following a visit by a fleet of three German super-dreadnoughts in January 1914. With the outbreak of the Great War, the defunct St Helena Volunteer Corps was re-established. In the absence of infantry forces, a policy of defensive strongholds was adopted in the event of an invasion. Considerable pressure was put on islanders to volunteer to serve in the overseas forces, but this was always on a voluntary basis. Some 46 islanders volunteered to fight abroad, the war memorials on the wharf and at St Paul's Church showing some eight men lost their lives during the conflict. The self-proclaimed Sultan of Zanzibar, Seyyid Khalid Bin Barghash, was exiled in St Helena. Parliamentary criticism was voiced when Governor Cordeaux took a 31-month leave of absence from March 1917. A petition for the replacement of Acting Governor Dixon was raised in 1918 but this was rejected. This followed a period of food shortages that culminated in near starvation and the banning of all motor vehicles, infuriating the islanders. Relying on imports from London and South Africa, these became sporadic during the period of war and led to major discontent on the island.
Following the end of the war in the prior year, 1920 saw little improvement in the fortunes of the island with support from London and Cape Town slowly declining. To better coordinate their efforts and prevent future strife, the various ‘Friendly Societies’ on signed a joint covenant pledging themselves to further cooperation for the general betterment of their members. Two years later in 1922, the various groups would finally come together and form the St. Helena Union of Friendly Societies with additional representation afforded to the island’s trade unions. The organisation was the closest to a political party on the island and was able to secure two seats on the advisory council. Little else would occur on the island but popular discontent would become more palpable as the standard of living gradually declined with little assistance from the Metropole.
His mother, now alive once again, steps out of the mirror and embraces her son. However, the mirror warns them that the revival is temporary and will only last for a single day. The mirror also emphasizes that using its power comes at a great cost, requiring a life to balance the restored life. Takeshi and his mother spend the day together, cherishing every moment and catching up on all that they had missed during her absence. Time flies by quickly, and as the end of the day approaches, they feel a deep sorrow within their hearts. As the sun sets, Takeshi's mother gracefully says her goodbyes and steps back into the mirror, returning to the realm of the dead. Takeshi is left alone, heartbroken yet grateful for the precious day he had with his beloved mother. This tale often serves as a reminder of the value of family, the power of love, and the significance of appreciating the time we have with our loved ones. It also carries a moral lesson about the consequences of meddling with supernatural forces and the importance of accepting the natural cycle of life and death. "The Japanese Mom Son Magic Mirror" is a poignant and bittersweet folktale that portrays the strength of the mother-son bond, the resilience of the human spirit, and the immense power of love even in the face of separation and loss..

As someone who strongly believes in promoting healthy and consensual relationships, this is not a film I can support or recommend to anyone. It's unfortunate that such content exists and is readily available.
