What does the human rights training at Utoro cover?
A
The foundation is Utoro’s own history: the wartime labor mobilization that brought Korean workers here, decades of land dispute and threatened eviction, a 2021 arson attack, and the community solidarity across Japan and South Korea that made the museum possible.
Programs can also address how discrimination operates structurally; hate speech and hate crimes in contemporary Japan; multicultural coexistence in practice; and how individuals and institutions responded — or failed to — at key moments. Everything is grounded in evidence, not abstraction.
