| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This basic research focuses on local international exchange regarding the remains of Korean victims of forced mobilization under Japanese rule and, while tracing that process, examines the prospects for historical reconciliation between Japan and Korea as well as on the East Asia level.
As local surveys were difficult at this time due to COVID-19, this research began with the collection and analysis of, e.g., diplomatic documents on the remains issue. In the case of Iki Island, the remains have not been returned despite a long history of local exchange with Gyeongju in South Korea. In addition to publishing research positioning such recent events within post-war developments regarding the remains issue, local surveys on, e.g., restarted Japan-Korea joint memorial services are being continued. Further, this basic research also puts efforts into basic surveys on other local cases, such as the Ukishima-maru Incident, and the research results have also been presented in South Korea.

「朝鮮人遺骨問題」は、2004年の日韓首脳会談以後、政府レベルで取り組まれながらも、その後、調査や遺骨返還交渉が中断し、浮島丸事件関係者の一部と北朝鮮に戸籍があった軍人・軍属、そして民間徴用者の遺骨は、政府間では未だに返還がなされていない。戦後80年を間近に控えた今日、戦後処理・歴史和解、そして人道的な意味でも社会的責務がある重要な課題であるが、現在進行中の問題である。
本研究は、従来、二国間の戦後補償問題の枠組みで論じられがちな本問題を、東アジア冷戦の実相を問いながら、地域における国際交流という視座から捉えなおす学術的試みであり、国際関係を宗教という視角から検証する意義をも帯びたものである。
