Eighty years ago, Okinawa became a terrible battlefield, many lives were taken, and valuable cultural properties and records were lost. Since its opening in 1995 (Heisei 7), the Okinawa Prefectural Archives has collected and used records relating to the Battle of Okinawa and post-war people affected by it. In the future, records are becoming increasingly important in order to pass on the experiences and lessons of the Battle of Okinawa to the next generation. This year, 80 years after the war, I will look back on the Battle of Okinawa and its impact through materials in our collection.
