Special Exhibition
2026/01/16 – To be determined
Organized by: 朝鮮人虐殺の歴史を記憶し朝鮮人差別に反対する朝・日大学生行動～トルパプロジェクト
Eighty years have passed since Japan’s defeat and the “liberation” of Korea. However, even in this 80th “post-war” year, the history involving Japan and Korea remains unsettled. Historical distortion and denialism—driven by both the government and the private sector—are rampant, and the colonialism and ethnic discrimination against Zainichi Koreans continue to this day.
To confront, reflect upon, and take action regarding these historical issues together with all of you, we have organized a traveling exhibition in four locations across Japan (Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, and Hiroshima) as part of the “TOLPA Project.” The history of aggression and colonial rule over Korea is directly linked to the present. With the conviction that this history must never fade and must never be erased, we are holding these exhibitions to face and remember the truths currently being denied or suppressed in Japan. We hope to contemplate with you what actions we should take now.
What is the TOLPA Project? “Tolpa” means “breakthrough” in Korean. It is a project started by Korean and Japanese university students working together to break through the current climate of historical distortion, denialism, and discrimination. The project was launched in 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Korean massacre following the Great Kanto Earthquake.
