Q
What is Utoro’s place in the history of Uji City?
A
Uji is known for Byodoin and its tea — but Utoro represents another thread in the city’s history, running from the 1940s to the present. It is the record of the struggles zainichi Koreans faced here and the solidarity that carried them through. Seeing both threads together gives the city’s story a dimension that neither alone provides.
