Japan veranstaltet in der Sado-Mine die erste Gedenkfeier für Opfer der koreanischen Zwangsarbeit

However, the Japanese government has continued to reject South Korea’s request to provide the roster of Korean workers who were forcibly mobilized for labor at the mine during Japan’s colonial rule.

Tokyo also faced criticism for initially framing the history of the Sado Island Gold Mines within the Edo period from 1603 to 1867, deliberately excluding the era of Japan’s occupation of the Korean Peninsula, while seeking inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
