Comments: | Not sure if this is needed? Seems like it's only used as the proverb 国破れて山河あり or rarely, in the form of a pun/reference on it (but it's not even a good translation in those cases. take the book for example. I take it to mean "even if the country goes under, members of parliament will remain") |
