Events such as the "Sept. 18 Incident" in 1931 and the First Sino-Japanese War (commonly known in China as the Jiawu War) must be spelled out specifically. Moreover, crimes including those of Unit 731 and the 'comfort women' must also be explicitly documented."

"Schools must accurately teach the history of Japan's past actions as an aggressor. Such museums should present this history. The media, too, should accurately report on what happened in the past. If museums like this continue to downplay Japan’s negative history -- its history as a perpetrator -- children who visit these exhibitions will think Japan did not commit such serious wrongs. Japan once inflicted harm on Asian countries. It is Japan’s responsibility never to repeat such harm. And those of us who know this history also have the duty to pass it on."

Survivors of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing and civic groups in Nagasaki have long campaigned for the city's atomic bomb museum to fully document Japan's wartime atrocities, alongside its own victimhood.

August 9, 1945, marked the day the United States dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Within days, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Now, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum serves as a window for peace education and anti-war advocacy. Yet its exhibitions devote far more space to Japanese civilian suffering than to the nation's own wartime aggression, with references to the invasion of China softly labeled as the "War with China" rather than "aggression."

Despite sustained appeals from local residents, the museum also turned down all their requests during its latest exhibit updates. Residents have called for keeping the clear term "Nanjing Massacre" on display, adding historical records of the forced recruitment of "comfort women", and acknowledging Chinese laborers killed in the atomic bombing. But, none of these appeals were accepted.

"The display panels must provide specific details about how Japan carried out its aggression and expansion. Events such as the "Sept. 18 Incident" in 1931 and the First Sino-Japanese War (commonly known in China as the Jiawu War) must be spelled out specifically. Moreover, crimes including those of Unit 731 and the 'comfort women' must also be explicitly documented," said Tatsuo Sekiguchi, secretary-general of the Nagasaki citizens' association for the protection of freedom of speech and the right to know.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused tremendous tragedy 81 years ago. However, it must be acknowledged that Japanese militarism waged aggressive wars that inflicted enormous suffering on Asian countries and also brought deep harm to the Japanese people themselves. This constitutes an essential historical context that cannot be overlooked when understanding the atomic bombings.

Genuine peace education should not merely emphasize the devastation caused by the atomic bombs. It must also clearly explain why the war happened, why Japan took the path of aggression, and what kind of devastation the wars of aggression brought to the people of Asia.

"Schools must accurately teach the history of Japan's past actions as an aggressor. Such museums should present this history. The media, too, should accurately report on what happened in the past. If museums like this continue to downplay Japan’s negative history -- its history as a perpetrator -- children who visit these exhibitions will think Japan did not commit such serious wrongs. Japan once inflicted harm on Asian countries. It is Japan’s responsibility never to repeat such harm. And those of us who know this history also have the duty to pass it on," he said.

　米国による原爆が長崎に投下されてから9日で81年。恒久平和の尊さを世界へ発信する「長崎原爆資料館」の展示リニューアルをめぐって、議論が起きている。

　長崎の市民団体や被爆者は、被爆の事実だけでなく戦時中の旧日本軍による残虐行為についても、全面的な記録や展示を長年にわたり求めてきた。

　展示は日本の被害に多くのスペースが割かれていて、中国への侵略についても「侵略」という言葉を使わず、単に「日中戦争」と表現するにとどまっている。

　約30年ぶりの展示リニューアルに際し、市民団体は「南京大虐殺」という明確な用語の維持、「慰安婦」の強制動員に関する歴史的記録の追加、そして原爆投下で犠牲となった中国人労働者への言及を求めている。しかし、提案は受け入れられていない。

　「日本が、その侵略していったことを具体的に書かないとダメですよね。まあ満州事変にしても、日清戦争にしても具体的に書く。そして731部隊だとか、従軍慰安婦だとか」

　広島と長崎への原爆投下は、多くの悲劇をもたらした。しかし同時に、日本の軍国主義による侵略戦争がアジア諸国に甚大な被害を与え、日本国民にも苦しみをもたらしたという事実を認識しなければならない。

　真の平和教育とは、原爆投下による被害を強調するだけでなく、なぜ戦争が勃発したのか、なぜ日本が侵略の道を突き進んだのか、そしてその侵略戦争がアジアの人々にどのような惨禍をもたらしたのか、その背景を明らかにしてこそ、正しく捉えられる。
