<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Modern Japan History Association invites scholars, teachers, and students of Japan and East Asia to the online premiere of a new documentary film,
<i>1923 Kanto Massacre</i>. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Great Kantò Earthquake of 1923 marked a moment of unprecedented material destruction and cultural rupture in modern Japan. The disaster soon became subject
to varying interpretation and political manipulation. The tremors and subsequent fire produced not only physical chaos
</span><span style="font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">in the Tokyo-Yokohama area
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">but also the rumors and violence against Koreans. Produced in commemoration of the massacre's centenary, this film reconstructs the course of the post-quake mayhem against the colonized
and migrant minorities </span><span style="font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">revealing what was fearful and why at the heart of the Japanese Empire. Equally important, the film
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">traces the ways in which the reality of the genocidal violence has been concealed over a century, haunting those whose lives were never the same after encountering the forbidden truth.
The film is in Japanese, Korean, and English with English subtitles.</span></div>
