Recommended by Shintaro Ishihara! "Let's review the fabricated history and restore the pride of the Japanese people. The materials speak the truth" (From Ishihara's recommendation on the obi). While sympathetic to conservative arguments that challenge the falsehoods and fabrications surrounding the Nanjing Massacre and comfort women, many ordinary people of conscience harbored a lingering unease. "But what is the evidence that the massacre didn't happen?" — and thus, a statue of a comfort woman was erected in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. This book was born to alleviate the "lingering unease" of well-meaning Japanese people. Indeed, the entire book is a parade of "evidence," including old maps, photographs from war photographers, and contemporary newspaper articles. By reading, or even just looking at, these historical materials, the "fabrications" of the Nanjing Incident, the comfort women issue, and territorial disputes can be instantly understood. Seeing is believing. There's no way our ancestors, the Japanese, would have committed such barbaric acts. This visual commentary is packed with previously unreleased historical materials painstakingly gathered over many years by a modern history researcher. ISBN 978-4-569-80686-0
