Japan removes monument for Korean forced labor victims despite criticism

By Yi Wonju

TOKYO, Feb. 1 (Yonhap) -- A Japanese local government has taken down a memorial stone for Korean victims of Japan's wartime forced labor at a public park earlier this week despite opposition from activist groups.

Authorities from Gunma Prefecture began pulling down the stone on Monday and finalized the removal on Wednesday, Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported the next day.

Aerial photographs taken by the news outlet showed the remains of what appeared to the base of the memorial stone smashed into pieces at the site.

The authorities are said to have spared the epitaph of the stone and handed it over to a civic group handling the memorial stone, before tearing down the concrete wall.

The phrase, "Remembrance, Reflection and Friendship," is engraved in Korean, Japanese and English on the epitaph.

The memorial stone was erected in 2004 by a civic group in Japan to promote the public's understanding of the shared past history from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula and the friendship between the two neighbors.

In 2014, Gunma Prefecture refused to extend the state approval for the establishment of the stone, claiming a civic activist made inappropriate remarks about the forced labor victims during a 2012 memorial event.

Japan's top court ruled in favor of the Gunma authorities in 2022, but the civic group has filed for separate suits seeking to block the removal.

Hachimanyama Burial Mound (Essay)

Japan's burial mounds are concentrated in western Japan, but even in eastern Japan, there are many large burial mounds in Gunma Prefecture. In Ota City, among others, there are some tombs comparable in scale to those in western Japan. (Tenjinyama Burial Mound, 200m long).

There is an old burial mound in the area where I live, and it is called Hachimanyama burial mound. The burial mound was made by modifying a mountain that was originally in nature, and has a height of about 80m. Currently, a shrine is built at the top, and it is an object of faith. You can overlook Ota city from the top.

八幡山古墳（エッセイ）

日本の古墳は西日本に集中しているが、東日本でも、群馬県には大きな古墳が多い。なかでも太田市には、西日本の古墳に、規模において匹敵するものもある。（天神山古墳、長径２００ｍ）。

私の住んでいる地域にも古墳があり、八幡山古墳と言われる。もともと自然にあった山に手を加えて古墳にしたもので、８０ｍほどの高さがあり、現在は頂きに神社が建っていて、信仰の対象である。頂きからは太田市が俯瞰できる。
