沖縄「慰霊の日」特別展
This special exhibition to commemorate Okinawa Memorial Day presents a selection of wartime photographs from the Onna Village Museum Collection. The images provide a visual account of the events of the Battle of Okinawa.
Okinawa Memorial Day, observed on June 23, marks the end of the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and honors the over 200,000 lives lost, including many civilians. We invite visitors to take a moment to learn more about this battle, and to reflect on the importance of remembrance.
This exhibition offers visitors and the OIST community a chance to delve into Okinawa's rich history and explore a pivotal event that forever transformed life on the island.
