Absolutely disgraceful , just as they were for the British, American and other allied groups which included civilians from the same countries. They were starved, in Changi and other camps they resorted to eating rats for example, if they could find any. Torture was prevalent and beheading was common. To a westerner the Japanese were sadists and to this day are typically hated by people who were associated with the war.
The Japanese tested out poisons on the pows and specifically used separate limbs which meant chopping limbs of them. After there were no remaining limbs they would through their torsos out in to the snow
