| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the peculiarity of the Japanese war memorial by examining its most representative material sources -i.e. war commemorative monuments. As a result of this research, it emerged that Japanese war memorial is the product of a regional identity and of a nationalism of the ancient feudal times created by a democracy based on the sovereign rights theory of the democratic rights movement. Japanese war memorial dates back to the Satsuma rebellion, where the commemoration of right-hand men who lost their lives in this civil war shows a bottom-up patriotism. This movement developed to a national level during the first Sino-Japanese and it gradually formed the Japanese style of the war memorial. Finally, it shows that this type of war memorial created by a bottom-up patriotic movement is a typical pattern worldwide.
