The Bandō POW camp was a prisoner-of-war camp during World War I in what is now Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku Island, Japan. From April 1917 to January 1920, just under a thousand of the 3,900 German soldiers captured after the Siege of Tsingtao, China in November 1914 were imprisoned at the camp. When the camp closed in 1920, sixty-three of the prisoners chose to remain in Japan. A head of the camp Lieutenant Colonel Toyohisa Matsue created opportunities for the prisoners to interact with residents on Shikoku. During their internment he allowed the prisoners to form an orchestra which performed over a hundred concerts between 1917 and 1920. On 1 June 1918 the prisoners mounted the first performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in the country. This event is the origin of the popularity of the symphony in Japan, performed numerous times at the end of each year, and is celebrated annually with a concert at the Naruto Bunka Kaikan on the first Sunday in June.
