The application to register historical documents on the Tongzhou Incident, the invasion of Tibet, and issues concerning comfort women in UNESCO’s “Memory of the World” represents a significant step for Japan in presenting historical facts to the international community and deserves unified national support.

This is a major step, and an activity that the Japanese people should support in unity.

The following is a continuation of the previous chapter. Emphasis in the text is mine.
Chinese media also reported that Japan had counterattacked by applying to register the Tongzhou Incident, in which more than 200 Japanese were brutally massacred by Chinese.
In May, the “Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform” announced that it had applied to register materials titled “The Tongzhou Incident and the Invasion of Tibet” and “Documents on Comfort Women and the Discipline of the Japanese Army” with UNESCO’s Memory of the World. This is a major step, and an activity that the Japanese people should support in unity.
Note: The original English term for “Sekai no Kioku (Kinen Isan)” is “Memory of the World.” The Japanese National Commission for UNESCO had translated this as “Kinen Isan” (Memory Heritage), but since there is no word corresponding to “heritage” in the original, and because it is not appropriate to treat it in the same way as treaty-based “Natural Heritage” or “Cultural Heritage,” the translation has recently been changed to the more literal “Sekai no Kioku” (World Memory).
However, because the term “Kinen Isan” has become familiar through long use, and because using only “World Memory” makes the flow of sentences awkward, it is assumed that the term “Kinen Isan” will continue to be used in the future.
To be continued.
