About This Trend

ひめゆりの塔の展示 is a historical exhibition at the Himeyuri Peace Memorial Museum in Okinawa, Japan, dedicated to the experiences of the Himeyuri students during the Battle of Okinawa.

The exhibition is trending due to recent controversial remarks by 自民党参院議員 西田昌司 (Liberal Democratic Party member Shoji Nishida), who criticized the display as 'terrible' and accused it of rewriting history. This has sparked backlash from the museum director, who argues that the exhibition honors the memories of the Okinawa war victims. .
