Korea has voiced concern about the history of forced labor at some of the sites, including the Miike site in Kumamoto. Here's something from an article on the Miike coal mine:"When the Japanese military machine invaded China in 1931, many of the labourers working in the mine were taken as cannon-fodder. The resulting shortage of labour became acute and, in order to make up the shortfall, the company used Koreans and, later, Chinese prisoners of war. In reality these people were subjected to the same harsh treatment that had been meted out to the former prisoners."http://archive.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/uu35ie/uu35ie0f.htmhttp://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201505060059Visitors flock to prospective World Heritage sites across Japan - AJW by The Asahi Shimbun 2015-05-06 21:19 JSTOne more from Joe TomeiThe monthly meeting of PIGATE, the Kumamoto teacher training group, co-sponsored by the NanKyu JALT chapter, will be this Saturday at Kumamoto Gakuen University, Building 1, 1F English Lounge.The meeting will feature three secondary teachers presenting on various topics.
