The scene is set on the deck of the mighty warship, with all American naval personnel dressed in Class B uniforms, adding a sense of solemnity to the occasion. At the forefront of the image, two prominent figures stand out: Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu, wearing a top hat, and General Yoshijiro Umezu, Chief of the Army General Staff. Behind them, six other representatives from the Foreign Ministry, Army, and Navy are gathered, each playing a crucial role in the signing of the Instrument of Surrender.
