Japan and Germany are compared in the case of forced labor and comfort women. This is not a matter of Korea-Japan relations or national relations, it is a matter of war crimes. Germany has admitted to the crime, made practicable reparations, and Chancellor Willy Brandt got down on his knees and apologized. Conversely, Japan turned to the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Korean people and covered up their war crimes.
I think Japan's attitude is close to the essence of history. I had been in Japan for about 3 years, and I was quite surprised to see that Japanese people had no war criminal consciousness at all. They only thought of themselves as victims of the atomic bomb. The defeat in World War II was an opportunity to abolish not only militarism but ultimately the imperial system, but the United States interfered with it, such as granting indulgences to the emperor. Since modern times, Europe, Britain, and the United States have mainly targeted China and used Japan as an ally.
If the Japanese perspective does not change, there will be no peace in East Asia. The root of the East Asian problem is the Japanese right wing.
Japan must first come up with a solution to the issue of comfort women and forced labor. The solution isn't great. It is to admit that the issues of colonial rule and aggression, which were not recognized even in the 1965 Korea-Japan agreement, were illegal and cannot be justified, and even pretend to apologize and compensate. If not, Japan should be ashamed.
A Japanese shrine is not a temple. It is a space where virtual gods, ancestors, and war criminals are gathered. Please know the history and travel. You didn't go to the temple, you went to commemorate the war criminals of World War II..
Everything is a matter of choice. Japan, the leading war criminal of World War II, chose not to apologize to the war victims and chose not to reflect. During the war, Japan slaughtered numerous innocent people, destroyed their language and culture, and looted artifacts. Until now, Japan has been officially using the Rising Sun Flag, which was used during the war, and it has not changed from the state of war criminals, claiming that other countries' territories belong to Japan. Soon, Japan will see the consequences of that choice. It was also chosen by Japan, so it should be accepted. As a result of a terrible choice..
