Recently, online claims that ‘Japanese junior high school textbooks contain no photos of Japanese wartime atrocities’ have drawn widespread attention. In reality, the content of Japanese history textbooks varies by publisher and edition, as there is no single national textbook. Some mainstream textbooks do mention Japan’s wartime aggression, including the Nanjing Massacre and the forced recruitment of ‘comfort women,’ but these accounts are often brief and rarely accompanied by photographs. Textbooks with right-leaning orientations sometimes downplay or omit such topics altogether. Japan’s Ministry of Education reviews all textbooks and requires them to respect historical facts, yet it allows publishers considerable leeway in phrasing and emphasis. As a result, treatment of sensitive historical issues differs significantly across textbooks. While the claim of ‘no atrocity photos whatsoever’ may be somewhat absolute, it reflects a broader issue: the ambiguity and inadequacy in how Japan’s wartime responsibilities are addressed in education. This selective narrative can hinder students’ comprehensive understanding of history and frequently draws criticism from neighboring countries. Presenting history objectively and fairly remains essential for regional reconciliation and peace education.
近期有网络传言称‘日本初中课本完全没日军暴行照片’，引发广泛关注。事实上，日本历史教科书的内容因出版社和版本不同而存在差异，并非全国统一。部分主流教科书确实提及了二战期间日本军队的侵略行为，包括南京大屠杀、强征慰安妇等史实，但描述篇幅有限，且极少配发相关照片。一些右翼倾向的教材甚至淡化或回避这些内容。日本文部科学省对教科书实行审定制度，虽要求尊重史实，但在具体表述上给予出版社一定自由度，导致不同教材在敏感历史问题上的处理方式不一。因此，‘完全没有暴行照片’的说法虽略显绝对，但反映出日本历史教育在战争责任问题上的模糊与不足。这种选择性叙述容易影响青少年对历史的全面认知，也常成为邻国批评的焦点。客观、公正地呈现历史，是促进区域和解与和平教育的重要基础。
