抄録

For many years, I researched the sex slave system used by the Japanese army, known as “comfort women,” which existed during Japan’s colonial rule. I interviewed and recorded the oral history of dozens of comfort women, many of whose stories became part of the reports given at the International Public Hearing Concerning Post War Compensation of Japan （1992 Tokyo）and the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal（2000 Tokyo）. 　Politicians, intellectuals and experts are unable to escape archival indoctrination. The current Prime Minister, Mr. Abe, has professed that “the standard of accepted historical perspectives on whether or not a war of aggression was conducted should left up to history experts,” and that “no documentary evidence has been found to prove that the Japanese army forced anyone to become comfort women against their will.” As a result, Japan is being excoriated with the criticism that it is a “nation of amnesia” by the international community. 　However, we cannot turn a blind eye to the past. The numbers of the former comfort women who came forward in the 1990s are slowly dwindling as they age and die. That is why I have recorded their oral history here, with the hope that it might make a small addition to the preservation of an important part of modern history.
