日本所拥有的和平博物馆数量位居世界之首,但大多数公共和平博物馆与战争博物馆一样,没有展示日本的侵略历史;即使涉及这方面,也只是展现日本作为第二次世界大战中原子弹爆炸受害者的形象,而完全忽略亚洲其他国家人民遭受日本蹂躏的苦难经历。然而另有一些公共和平博物馆和私人博物馆如高知民众所,却客观地反映了日本在二战中的侵略历史,市民们在那里建构和平的活动很是积极。在和平教育中,和平博物馆不仅在学校而且在社区均扮演着重要的角色。在冲突化解和宣扬和平思想方面,和平博物馆将发挥相当的作用。 Japan has the largest number of peace museums in the world, but most public peace museums, like the War Museum, do not show Japan’s history of aggression. Even in this respect, it is only showing that Japan was victimized by the atomic bombings during the Second World War While completely ignoring the experience of Japan’s other countries in Asia suffering from Japan’s devastation. However, other public peace museums and private museums, such as the Kofi people, objectively reflect Japan’s history of aggression during World War II, and it is quite positive for citizens to construct peace there. In peace education, the Museum of Peace plays an important role not only in schools but also in the community. The Museum of Peace will play a considerable role in conflict resolution and the promotion of peace.
