Description

By focusing on Japan Railway’s Katamachi Line during the Second World War, this paper describes three military facilities in Hirakata City, Osaka (Kinya Magazine, Hirakata Factory, and Kori Factory); the Hosono Ammunition Chamber in Seika Town, Kyoto; and Suminodo in Daito City, Osaka. Further, it compares the origins and post-war history of two Matsushita-related facilities in Japan (Matsushita Radio Shijo Factory and Matsushita Airplane Suminodo Factory), and examines the relationship between the facilities and the community from the perspective of bequeathing war memories. War memories tend to be handed down to the present as much as there are influences and traces on the region. It turns out that the history of the past is passed down together. In the 80 years that have passed since the end of the Second World War, it is believed that passing down the influences and traces left behind in the region will play an important role in passing on memories of the war to future generations.
