Research on "how war experience is told" in modern Japan society, and its social influence

In this research, I studied how "wartime experience" was talked about in the prewar and postwar community. In addition, I analyzed how "memory of the war" prescribed the consciousness of next generation. Specifically, from history of memory magazine of the bereaved family society and history of fellow soldier society, I collected associated descriptions and investigated a change. As a result, like the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War, the meaning of the war became illegible, the descriptions of memory magazines became illegible. As the people who were the most familiar to a person killed in action, it became difficult to give war significance. I was able to find the existence of a paradox here.
