Shiratori



NB - if you have an interesting historical figure you want me to write about do let me know in the comments

The Final Bid For Freedom
Yoshie was once again tried for escaping, and he was sentenced to death by the Sapporo District Court. Additionally, Yoshie was assigned six armed guards, and he was under surveillance, 24 hours per day.

At the Sapporo prison, he was incarcerated in a specially made cell that was designed to prevent him from escaping through the air vent in the ceiling. This would be the largest defect in the setup because too much attention to the ceiling meant the floor of the cell was more or less ignored.


The prison guards at Sapporo had so much faith in the newly renovated cell that they no longer bothered to handcuff their prisoner. This would be mistake number two.



While it was true that Yoshie had aged and was fatigued from being a prisoner and from constantly escaping, there was one thing that still fueled his drive: desperation. While awaiting execution in 1947, Yoshie made his final bid for freedom by unlocking the bolts that held together the cell’s wooden floorboards. He used a bowl used for food to dig his way out of prison.

After a year of liberty, it was said that Yoshie was offered a cigarette by a police officer. Moved by the kindness of the police officer, Yoshie again opened up to the officer he was the Shiratori that had escaped previously
He admitted that he was an escaped convict. He was tried once again by the High Court of Sapporo. They noted that in all his four escapes, he did not perform bodily harm to any of the guards, despite the fact that abuse by guards was rampant in all the prisons.

The High Court of Sapporo decided to revoke the previous decision of the death penalty. Instead, he was given a final sentence of 20 years in prison. Yoshie requested that he be imprisoned in Tokyo, which the court granted. He spent his days in Fuchu Prison until 1961 when he was given parole. He traveled to the Aomori Prefectures more than a decade later to reunite with his daughter so that he could tell her his life story. Yoshie lived for another decade after that, doing odd jobs to survive. He eventually succumbed to a heart attack in 1979. A woman who had previously cared for him also took care of his ashes after his death.

He will not only be remembered as the most skillfully gifted escapist but his good heart .

Real prison
Re-enacted way he escaped

The Miso Soup Act
Yoshie was transferred for the second time to Abashiri Prison, which was located in a remote locale in Northern Hokkaido. Abashiri was no regular penal colony. It was reserved for the worst kinds of criminals in Japan.

Yoshie was transferred here because he had already escaped two times, and the police wanted him to stay put. As luck would have it (for Yoshie), he managed to eventually escape Abashiri. The Abashiri Prison Museum even has a figure dedicated to Yoshie as he escaped his cell wearing nothing but his underwear.


How did Yoshie do it this time? The man had an endless pool of ingenuity, to be honest. Each morning, he would spit miso soup on the doorframe of his cell. The salts and moisture eventually corroded and weakened the door frame.

When the wartime blackout of August 26, 1944 occurred Yoshie dislocated his shoulders and squeezed himself out of the small space on the metal frame where the guards would slide in his food. Once again, Yoshie’s escape was publicized, and made the headlines of several newspapers in the Hokkaido Shimbun.

The Lockpicker
No other man in history has shown such disdain for incarceration than Yoshie Shiratori, who was tagged as “the man that no prison could hold.” Yoshie was initially accused of murder and robbery and was sentenced to Aomori prison. Three years later, he picked the lock of his handcuffs with a short wire he found from a wooden bathing bucket.


Police recaptured him after three days and he was sentenced to life in prison for escaping and for supposedly stealing supplies from a hospital. He was eventually transferred to Akita prison in 1942.

At Akita prison, Yoshie managed to escape by somehow climbing the impossible smooth walls of his cell to reach the air vent. He would climb up and down every night and eventually unhinged the vent to extricate himself.

Perhaps he was exhausted from all the running and hiding, he decided to go to the home of a police officer, the only person who had shown any benevolence towards him from his previous prison in Aomori. However, this officer eventually handed Yoshie over to the authorities, and he vowed to never place his trust in another police officer ever again

BASICS
QUICK FACTS
Intro Japanese escape artist
Crime Murder
From Japan
Type Murderer
Birth 1907, Aomori Prefecture, Japan
Death 1979 (aged 72 years)

Yoshie Shiratori (白鳥 由栄, Shiratori Yoshie, July 31, 1907 – February 24, 1979) was a Japanese national born in Aomori Prefecture. His family name Shiratori means "swan" in Japanese.[1] Shiratori, who became an anti-hero in Japanese culture, is famous for having escaped from prison four times.[2] He was first imprisoned after being forced to admit to a murder he did not commit. He could pick locks, scale walls, break handcuffs and dislocate his joints at will. His most infamous escape, consisted of him using miso soup to rust the bolts on his window bars and handcuffs to escape

Akira Yoshimura published a novel Hagoku based on him. A memorial to Shiratori is in the Abashiri Prison Museum.

There are numerous takes involving his escapes. The information has been documented sometimes and sometimes it has been folkloric at most.

He is most famous for his Miso soup prison break from Abashiri Prison, where he dabbed Miso soup upon his iron handcuffs, legcuffs, and the small iron window in his cell. After a while, the iron rusted and came off. After that, he slid through the window and escaped from the prison cell.

CAPSLOCKED I'll be needing your help here , and if possible move to trending to answer wider range of questions

Another here on Nairaland bragged about raping his neighbors child I'll be uploading soon , rape must stop

1Sharon:
Not me oo..

Still ....... Lovley choice of photo

1Sharon:
Why do these stories always sound the same?

there is something about the photo of you and your kids , it should be framed as one of the best pictures out of Nigerian home. It's Perfect.

xamuell:
why must life exist

it must exist , empty space is life , air is life , stone is life
Life must exist

kingxsamz:
All stories sound similar because that's the belief that's being passed around. Same way most people believe there are witches in benin that can fly.

exactly!

HedwigesMaduro:
I don't know about that story above, but a similar thing happened in my friend's house in Abeokuta. Incidentally, my friend's landlord was my dad's friend too. My friend told me the story, then I heard my dad telling another person the story as relayed by the landlord. A young guy came to rent an apartment in the house. He was very jovial and mingled freely in the neighbourhood. He told everybody he was from Ife. A day came when one of the neighbours had an occasion to attend at Ife. My friend and many others planned to follow the neighbour for that occasion. That young man too showed eagerness to go. But on the D-Day, he feigned illness and couldn't follow them. He described his family house to them. After the occasion, they all went to the guy's family house to just check on the family. They were mighty shocked when they were shown his grave and the car wreckage he died in. When they got back to Abeokuta, the guy had vanished. How do you explain that?

ah the popular disappearing Orphan child , Another old wives tale debunked last early century , Women would know women who adopted orphans, only to find out he never existed in the first place ,
Let's say this 'tennant ' existed , was he not washing his clothes? Did his clothes disappear? ,His shoes , toothbrush, his ATM card .You said he was a jovial person and nobody had a video of him goofing around, breaking jokes , his


HOAX!!

have you noticed that must things brought here are about dead people? Isn't that suspicious , and there are not first person encounters not second person's but people 'you believe you know' , it's heresay and very difficult to debunk hear says, but let's analyse this in bits
A Corpes returning would mean , there are 2 bodys , one dead somewhere and the other making the Visistations? Now I this visiting 'ghost ' can capon create full organs (a thinking brain , motor funtions , breathing (which is only possible in living beigns) , capable of speech (which is specific to humans with nessesary organs for communication), the ghost could save us enough cloning intelligence than trying to scare people, , now let's say the 'ghost ' is invincible , you cannot be invincible on Earth especially on a place like Nigeria , because passing through air has a lot of obstacles and obstructions , imagine a ghost moving through thousands molecules on a dusty road? Yeah would look awkward and quite something imposible the net will quickly be filled with the video , there is definitely no way Ghosts exist.

No need to decipher anything OP lied

on the re-directed link right?
I was almost 100percent sure it made made up.

Both politically and religiously, Africa remains a servant to the white men.......

we need to love ourselves first , break away from Religion , if you can't , you're still a slave subconsciously to a white man, the average police man is God fearing , that is why he would hold up an umbrella for a pale skined man

This has been debunked as a HOAX!!!

Edopesin:
Most likely but it definitely did it's job in scaring old man edo pesin like myself

thats what they do , they gave a. Way in dwelling deep in our minds , I tell you till date they are superstitions we know are false but we still deep down believe it could be true ,.. you are probably thinking of one now

Salem17 hello

Xavfra:
I agree with you.........


I just hope the world will turn to love and abandon hate and tribalism.........


But at least let Africa rise.......

Africa will rise if we look forward ourselves , and right now Wow it's far far away

Edopesin:
Lemme share this one also

We all know Edo state is tagged "The Capital of Witches and all" which is out of ignorance btw but when a lot of people claim to have experienced something at the same time you begin to doubt your beliefs

I've heard this story from different sources sha but I don't know how valid it is

Most Edo North people, Particularly the Esan, Auchi, Etsako, Ekpoma, Fuga and environs have one time or the other heard about the dead popular musician Bolivia (Not his son that bears the same name) coming back from the dead and getting married to a woman for some years and even gave birth to children (No jokes man)

According to the stories the woman didn't know where he came from and she disturbed him persistently to take her to where he came from and he finally obliged but when they got to his family house in the village. but without entering he asked her to go in that he will be back and left her with the kids

She went in and saw his family and when she told them who she was and who she's married to some people took to their heels while they showed her the grave where the great Bolivia was buried

Las Las this might just be another story to scare kids but they way people do tell the story is scary stuff

obviously a hoax but let's say it's real and it happened then it is very similar to the old wives tale they tell In Europe to scare children , HOAX!!!

this post made fp few weeks back, the op claimed there was banging of two's on his window but there was no one there and more than one person according to the op experienced these mysterious happenings, I no go lie I was scared as hell when I read this write up at night

how do you explain the knocking on the window

read through the whole story 4 times, the death has nothing to do with the visitation , the description of the figure sounds like the shadowman(they are Aliens ) everybody has seen shadow men , Seeing a shadowman coupled with the feeling of the recent death must have made his fear heighted as it will logically affect any human ,



Let's say fine she came , now knocking for 3 hours ? I know Nigerian police are not effective but 3hour fierce knock would warrant neighbors to come and see what is bothering them from sleeping , and I fail to see why this recording of the 'banging ' of 3 hours could not surface ,

I'll read that and get back with possible but accurate hypothesis

Edopesin:
The reports of people seeing ghosts of recent dead

The reports of dead people coming back and even having carnal knowledge with the living

Mysterious sightings (My mama tell me this one and even though I don't have any reason to not believe her I find hard to believe) like seeing fire go up a tree without burning it

Dead people don't come back
There is what Is called Alternate death , where people die literally and return , in wars when there are mass killings , among a hundred shot , one would survive , even though he was hit too.

from time people have been seeing , what they believe to be doublgangers , (appears when the person is alive but seen in another location)
But when people see someone who is dead of recent is seen by another person that is not aware of the death right ?

There is no way a dead person (who just died would appear to you physically or in dreams) in ancient Greece there were reports of same thing happening , but was later discovered it was caused by mass hysteria , when one person believes he sees dead people , of course metally you would see someone who died or who would dies of recent or later in the future , or you want to say everybody seen in dreams turn out dead? It's rare but it happens the mind is the most powerful tool

Xavfra:
Yeah ...
I know about it......
It's true ......

But it's sad that these our African siblings have been so locked in the shackles of religion.......

can't blame them it's a done deal, most(96percent) and biologically incapable of disbeliving their already believed idea,
Everybody believes their Race , Tribe, Culture, Tradition, Month of birth Is Special, truth is it's not , we are a fragment of dust in space , it's not all that gloomy and sad , life is great just live right , do what makes you happy and fvck criticisms , they are pointers you're doing something right
