This project explores a symbol that was prominently used by Imperial Japan during World War II and continues to be in use today. While often seen without much historical context, this book uncovers the inconvenient truth hidden behind the symbol—its deep connection to war, colonialism, and the suffering it caused. By shedding light on its history and significance, the book aims to inform all generations about the realities that should not be forgotten.
