Continuing the Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Long-Term Impact of Japan’s World War II Trauma
Since 2021, we have been conducting an interdisciplinary symposium to explore the long-term effects of Japan’s World War II trauma experience. In order to continue this important initiative, we kindly request donations from those who support our cause.
Until now, researchers have taken the lead in covering expenses such as honoraria, interpreters, and administrative staff through support from organizations such as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nakatsuji Foresight Foundation support for conference, Hiroshima University Network Formation Support Grant, and the National Council of Mental Health and Welfare Liaison Councils. During our Executive Committee discussions on the future of our activities, we concluded that establishing a stable management organization and financial foundation is necessary for their continuity.
We firmly believe in spreading understanding of the broad social and cultural phenomenon of cultural trauma to as many people as possible and promoting healing from cultural trauma. To achieve this, we recognize the importance of engaging in open activities with society. Additionally, we aspire to share and expand these activities not only within Japan but also with individuals in the Asia-Pacific region.
Our first step is to collect small donations (2,000 JPY per participant, and we welcome multiple contributions from individuals who wish to support our cause) from those who support our cause. These funds will be utilized to enhance and expand our activities, ensuring their stability.

Thank you sincerely for your support and cooperation.
