« With this overall shift away from prewar militarism towards a “cultural” and “pacifist” Japan, the former officials of the Government General of Korea began to challenge the “collective memory” of oppression and exploitation constructed by the “colonized.” Instead, they disseminated their own memory of development and progress brought to Korea during colonial rule. With the support of Japan’s economic circles Yūhō Kyōkai (Friendly Nation Association) established the Historical Archives on the Colonial Era to “historicize” the collective memories of “colonizers”. »
