The Moai Statue was registered as a World Heritage Site in Japan
Regarding the Moai statue on Easter Island, there is also a Moai statue in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.It looks like Japan built a replica of the Moai statue on its own, but it was a Japanese company that restored the Moai statue on Easter Island. The restoration listed Rapanyi National Park on Easter Island as a World Heritage Site.In return, Japan was allowed the reproduction of the Moai statue.
Nipponbashi in Hoian was built by the Japanese
There is a bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam.In １５９３, Japanese who lived in a Japanese town built a bridge. It is popular among Vietnamese as Nihonbashi.Young Vietnamese couples take wedding photos in front of the bridge.Hoi An, where this bridge is located, has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
Korea's Seokguram is restored by Japan
There is Seokguram in Korea.It was discovered by a postman in １９０９ during delivery.Since １９１５, the Japanese have been repairing buildings that are about to collapse.After the end of Japanese rule, Korea restored it again in １９６１, but Korea rearranged them into its own arrangement and they said the reason was Japan arranged Buddha statues in a random way. Afterwards, the photos and detailed layout of Seokguram were found and it became clear that japanese arrangement was correct. But Korea said, "Seokguram was perfectly preserved for more than １,０００ years, but Japan was jealous and damaged it with cement and concrete."Seokguram was listed as a World Heritage Site in １９９５.
POINT Seokguram was just an abandoned ruin until Japan restored it.

History closed due to the abolition of kanji - Korean education that does not know history and cannot read history.
In South Korea, it is said that if you don't know history, you won't be able to become a fine adult. History is one of the subjects in Japan, and many science and math students don't like history and don't study it much. At least I don't think that I can't become a fine adult.
There is a question as to whether Koreans are actually interested in history. The problem, rather than differences in historical understanding, is the method of approach. It is said that the Korean peninsula was colonized by Japan, but it is strange why we do not learn about the history of the development of the Korean peninsula. History is all about learning both sides, but in South Korea, only the story of being ruled and oppressed appears.
Who are the Japanese who introduced history, civil engineering, engineering, chemistry, medicine, and various other social infrastructures and social systems, and what kind of person is that person? Although these things remain as historical facts, they are never adopted in history and are dismissed. Would it be possible to learn history without learning that? The best approach to studying history is to look directly at the Korean Peninsula of that era and think from that perspective.
They only shout that they were ruled by Japan, but the facts that developed during that time are hidden. History education is about learning both.
What about Japanese rule in Asia? If you compare the colonial forms under Japanese rule in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, Vietnam, etc., you should be able to see the Japanese style of colonial management at the time, but it seems that South Korea does not have that perspective. There doesn't seem to be any.
Speaking of colonies, what is the difference from Western colonies? When did it start and what process did it take to spread to Asia? Even though they are called Western countries, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have different colonial management styles. The concept of history that South Korea presents to Japan is fixed and does not have a multifaceted perspective. It is a one-dimensional understanding of history that begins with Japanese rule, and since even China does not enter into it, it is not Oriental history either. Or even seen as creative history.
Materials from the Japanese colonial period are kept in Japan. Of course, it was written in the Japanese of the time. Minutes and resolutions are public documents and can be viewed by the general public. This means that the information is accessible even to Koreans who can read Japanese. In order to understand the Japanese colonial period, Korean historians should have access to it, but this is not the approach at all. So when you ask them what kind of materials their historical claims are based on, nothing comes out.
I wonder if there are any historians in Korea who can't read kanji? South Korea abolished kanji in 1970, and the generations after that were unable to read kanji. If you can't read kanji, you won't be able to read history from the Japanese colonial period or even before that.
The abolition of Chinese characters is also greatly involved in Korean historical awareness. If you can't read kanji, you won't even be able to access past documents.
Kim Ok - kyun and Miyazaki Toute He also interacted with Sun Wen and Kim Ok-kyun, and in Miyazaki's book "The Dream of the 33rd Year," which supported the 1911 Revolution, he wrote about Kim Ok-kyun as follows.
------------------
The news of Kim Ok-kyun's murder surprised the whole of Japan.
The problem is that the assassination of Kim Ok-kyun by Cheong Wa Dae and North Korea caused an unexpected storm of anger throughout Japan.As a result, the war between Japan and China began to break out due to the spread of the Donghak Party's rebellion in Honam, North Korea.
Kim Ok-kyun's official funeral at Asakusa Honganji was cut off on August 1, 1954.In the meantime, the chorus of "Shoot, punish, and clean up" quickly burst into the war between Japan and China for a little over two months.
------------------
The photo was taken by a Japanese person in a newspaper article at that time.Kim Ok-kyun coudn't not achieve revolutionize himself, but his death moved the Japanese and led the Korean Peninsula to independence.
During the annexation of Japan and South Korea, the Korean Peninsula modernized and achieved economic growth. This is contradictory data from the South Korean government, which does not want to admit
This is the actual state of the Korean peninsula during the annexation of Japan and Korea, as published by the Korean Statistical Office.
Number of doctors: increased approximately 7 times
Number of deaths due to infectious diseases: Significant decrease
Water supply amount: increased approximately 4.8 times
Number of kindergartens: approximately doubled in 10 years
Child protection business: Increased approximately 4.3 times
Number of public elementary schools: increased approximately 7.5 times
Population: Increased approximately 1.8 times
The number of robberies has significantly decreased, etc.
During the Japanese colonial period, the Korean peninsula experienced significant economic growth and was on the path to modernization.
South Korea has complained to the international community that it was annexed by Japan, enslaved, and massacred, but its population appears to be increasing.
The period of annexation between Japan and Korea is approximately 35 years. The reasons why the population increased 1.8 times during this period include maintaining public order, improving medical care, and reducing poverty.
Public order is maintained through laws, police, and the spread of education, and medical care is achieved through the addition of medical personnel and the provision of medicines, medical equipment, and other supplies.
Reducing poverty requires increasing employment through the creation of many jobs and improving the food situation. Japan's social improvements in all of these areas resulted in population growth.
Even though this data is published by the South Korean government itself, the country as a whole is repeating completely contradictory claims.
The truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea - The Joseon Dynasty was unable to become independent - 15 years from the Sino-Japanese War to the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Learning about the history of a short period makes it clear
King flees less than a year after independence
Need mawashi for the return of Koso
The founding of the Korean Empire and the Russo-Japanese War
Restrict Korean sovereignty
Japan-Korea annexation
The Joseon Dynasty that lacked independence ~ The Korean Empire
If you look at the history of only 15 years from the Treaty of Shimonoseki to the annexation of Japan and Korea, you can clearly see that Japan did not violently take away the independence of the Korean Peninsula. Japan supported #independence on the Korean peninsula and ultimately gave up on it. This is the historical truth.
Treaty of Shimonoseki (April 1895): The Korean peninsula became an independent nation as a result of the peace treaty resulting from the Sino-Japanese War. Shunseimon Incident (November 1895): An incident in which pro-Russian pro-Russian leader Lee Beon-jin plotted to assassinate Prime Minister Kim Hong-ji. Roguan Banseong (February 1896): An incident in which Gojong, the head of state, fled to the Russian legation, fearing for his safety due to the conflict within Korea following the Shunshomon Incident. Less than a year after independence, they renounced their sovereignty.
Komura-Weber Agreement (May 1896): Japan and Russia jointly supervise the internal affairs of Korea, and as a condition for Gojong, who is currently in the Russian legation, to return to the palace, the number of Japanese and Russian troops to be stationed, etc. We have arranged. Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement (June 1896): Guarantee of Korean independence between Japan and Russia, promotion of financial reform in Korea, organization of modern police and military, telegraph An agreement was made to hold the line.
Establishment of the Korean Empire (1897): Gojong was able to return to Gyeongun Palace on the premise of an agreement between Japan and Russia. He changed the country's name to the Korean Empire and called himself Emperor. Although it means being on the same level as Japan and China, Japan approves of this. Earn of the Russo-Japanese War (1904): Russia's interests in the Korean Peninsula continued to expand, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.
First Japan-Korea Treaty (1904): The Korean government appointed a person recommended by the Japanese government to serve as the Korean government's financial and diplomatic advisor. Second Japan-Korea Treaty (1905): An agreement in which Japan deprived South Korea of its diplomatic rights and established South Korea as a protectorate, including the establishment of a supervisor. The Hague Emissary Incident: (1907): An incident in which Gojong dispatched an emissary to an international conference in The Hague in the Netherlands, but was unable to meet with representatives of any country. The conference recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
The annexation of Japan and Korea was approved by the cabinet (July 1909): The Katsura Cabinet approved the ``Policy to carry out the annexation of Korea at an appropriate time and outline of facilities for Korea''. Assassination of Hirobumi Ito (October 1909): Hirobumi Ito was assassinated at Harbin Station. Japan-Korea annexation (August 1910): Japan and Korea were annexed by the "Treaty on Annexation of Korea."
To summarize the above trends, Japan fought the Sino-Japanese War and made the Korean Peninsula an independent nation. He even made arrangements for the head of state who had fled to the Russian legation to return to Korea, leading to the establishment of the Korean Empire, which was given the name of an empire on a par with Japan and China.
Even so, Russia's advance southward could not be stopped at all, and the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Japanese factions in Korea continued. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan judged that the Korean Peninsula could no longer be independently governed and began to restrict its authority. With the backing of pro-Japanese groups such as Isshinkai, Junshu concluded a treaty of annexation of Japan and Korea.
The Nuremberg Laws were racial persecution linked to eugenic ideology - South Korea equated the Rising Sun flag with Hakenkreuz.
In South Korea, a professor named Seo Kyung-duk claimed that the Rising Sun flag was the same as the Nazi Hakenkreuz, and every time he sent an email to its maker just because he used a pattern similar to the Rising Sun flag. They are conducting an anti-Japan movement in the name of correcting historical perceptions. Although it is sometimes featured in the news in Japan, the Hakenkreuz was originally the party flag of the Nazi Party, and the reason why it was made into the national flag means that the flag was abolished when the Nazi Party was disbanded, so from this background. The background is completely different. Although the Rising Sun flag is the flag of a party, it does not represent a particular ideological group, but is interpreted as an expression of Japanese culture's belief in the sun.
South Korea claims that it was invaded by Japan and that the Rising Sun flag is a symbol of Japanese militarism, but then it is necessary to compare the reality of Jewish rule under the Nazis with the actual treatment of Korean peninsula people during the annexation of Japan and Korea. would need to. This is because South Korea claims that it was in the same situation as the Jews. Take the Nuremberg Laws as an example, in the sense that if it meant repression by the state, there would be a legal system.
The Nuremberg Laws are anti-Semitic laws enacted by the Nazis in 1935. Jews living in Germany were not considered citizens of the Empire and were prohibited from marrying or having sex outside of marriage with "Germans or their blood relatives." These acts are considered ``racial misconduct,'' and if discovered, they are subject to criminal penalties. The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German Peoples required all prospective marriage partners to obtain a certificate of compatibility for marriage from public health authorities. Germany did not allow Jews to participate in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This is based on the Nazis' eugenic ideology based on Aryan supremacy, and the swastika on the Nazi party flag is depicted as a symbol of the Aryan race. In other words, the Nazis' massacre of Jews was racial persecution based on this eugenic ideology, and as a result, it turned into a campaign of ethnic annihilation (genocide).
The period of Japan's annexation of Korea was completely different, with Koreans on the peninsula being granted citizenship as Japanese and following the same laws. They were given the right to vote, were free to socialize and marry, and used the same public facilities and schools. Son Gee-young, who is from the Korean peninsula, participated in the Olympics as a representative and won a gold medal in the marathon. This competition was the 1936 Berlin Games, in which Jews were prohibited from participating. Japan liberated the Korean peninsula from its status as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, liberated slaves, who accounted for 40% of the population, and made them equal citizens. If you compare the Nazis with Japan, the opposite is true.
