ABSTRACT

This paper examined how the Peace Museum in Okinawa attempts to remember the Battle of Okinawa and what efforts are being made to do so, given that the Japanese government versus Okinawa remains a confrontational structure in the historical perception of the Battle of Okinawa. Specifically, this paper examines the ways in which war is remembered in Okinawa through three museums: The Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, which epitomizes the tense relationship with the Japanese government over the Battle of Okinawa, Himeyuri Peace Museum, widely known for its activities to convey memories of the battle of Okinawa through testimony from experienced people, Haebaru Cultural Center, which remembers the war through the remains of the war in the region. This study will serve as a starting point for thinking about the role of museums as places for the transmission and sharing of war memories in an era when the subjects of war memory are shifting who remembers war from those who have experienced war to those who have not.
