I have. It’s part of my cultural heritage. And – without meaning any rude contrariness – as tragic and revolting as it is, it is a subject very much worth studying and researching in its full detail. There is a reason why the issue of Japanese remilitarization is an issue for every Asian country in the Pacific; the atrocities of the War in the Pacific are branded into the cultural memories of every nation which suffered Japanese occupation. We’ve gotten over it in recent years inasmuch as we know that today’s generation are not responsible for the crimes of their forefathers, but unlike Germany, Japan has never really been forced to acknowledge their war crimes in a similar fashion – being overshadowed by suffering the first and only nuclear weapons used in anger.
