Culture ministers from Japan and South Korea will meet in Kyoto next week to request that exhibits relating to Korean workers at the Sado Island Gold Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, be moved to a facility with many visitors, JNN has learned.
According to a South Korean government official, a meeting of cultural ministers from Japan, China and South Korea is scheduled to be held in Kyoto next week.
On the 12th, Japan’s Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Moriyama, and South Korea’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Ryu, will meet to exchange views on cultural exchanges leading up to the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and South Korea next year, as well as on the Sado Island Gold Mine, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in July.
During the meeting, Yanagi will request that records currently on display at the Aikawa Local Museum, which show that people from the Korean Peninsula worked in harsh conditions, be moved to Kirarium Sado, where more people can visit.
The government hopes to ease the backlash against the registration within South Korea, but it is unclear whether Japan will accept it.
