The delegation, led by Takakage Fujita, will pursue accountability for wartime responsibility in Japan, counter historical nihilism, and promote China–Japan friendship as essential for regional peace and prosperity.

The visit reinforced that the truth about wartime atrocities cannot be buried, with extensive archaeological and scholarly work cited as establishing the evidence chain.

Delegation members, including Shigenori Kanehira, Mitsuhisa Fukutomi, and Takakage Fujita, expressed shock, shame, and solemn reflection after seeing crimes committed by Unit 731 in World War II.

Experts from both sides highlighted ongoing China–Japan people-to-people exchanges as a bridge for rational historical understanding, featured in the symposium alongside the exhibition hall.

A Japanese delegation from the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement visited Heilongjiang Province to view Unit 731 exhibits and discuss history with Chinese experts.

Fujita described the army’s human experiments as demonic, apologized to Chinese victims, and condemned recent historical revisionism and right‑wing rhetoric that downplays aggression.

Jin Chengmin presented a handwritten letter from former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama urging learning from history to foster peace and friendship, which was also donated to the association.

The delegation warned that postwar revisionism and textbook changes have left younger generations ignorant of wartime aggression, contributing to conditions that enable right‑wing ideologies.

The visit underscored that historical truth remains contested yet essential for reconciliation and accountability between China and Japan.

Takakage Fujita emphasized the killings involving injections into living people as demonic and apologized to the Chinese victims and their families.
