The Column of Strength memorial consists of three women in bronze who are holding hands in a circle as they look into the distance. An older woman stands to the side. The statue commemorates "comfort women," a euphemism for thousands who were forced, coerced and deceived into serving men at brothels near the front lines. But the monument's inscriptions about the comfort women "present uncertain and one-sided claims as historical facts," Osaka Mayor Hirofumi Yoshimura contended in a 10-page letter dated Tuesday to Mayor London Breed of San Francisco. Yoshimura called the information an "interpretation" that has yet to be proved adding that the number of women who were enslaved and how they were treated during their time in captivity were embellished. He also said the statue singled out Japan for atrocities and that raising awareness about sex trafficking "should consist of words equally applicable to all countries." more @ link --- b-bb-box <cite>boxington posted [p:909978444] in Osaka, Jap...

Japan just refuses to own up about comfort women. they want to pretend it either didn't happen, or try to somehow twist logic so it was somehow a nice experience or volunteer work or something This. I saw something once that contrasted Germany and Japan: Germany has made a sincere (if somewhat unsuccessful effort) to combat Nazism, and has dedicated untold effort trying to keep what brought Hitler to power from happening again; but Japan seems like they usually just try to ignore the atrocities committed during WW2. --- "They come in the night to smell your daughter's periods so that they can sparkle in the day." -- Kradek <cite>DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted [p:909991963] in Osaka, Jap...
