He was a commander of Flores Island during the Second World War. When first time he came to Flores, He did study of the religion which most of the people in his command professed. What happen next to Captain Sato....? This Japanese after he met the Florenese, the beautiful island and their religion/culture his study gradually swung him from indifference to sympathy to deep interest. Amazing! Like Jack and John, the retired naval officer, Captain Sato described about Flores really touch in deep of my heart and making me more enticing for the calm life of the Flores people.
