Machijiri commanded Indochina Garrison Army throughout most of 1943. An expert on chemical warfare assigned to the Chemical Weapons Branch at the height of the war in China, he was lucky not to be hanged as a war criminal. He may have been saved by his connections to the Imperial Household (he had inherited the title of shishaku 子爵 or Viscount.)
