Family Skeletons: Japan’s Foreign Minister and Forced Labor by Koreans and Allied POWs (Japanese translation available)
By Christopher Reed
Aso Mining Company had been producing coal to fuel Japan’s modernization for nearly 70 years by the time Aso Taro, Japan’s current foreign minister, was born in Faced with a severe heavy labor shortage as the China war gave way to the Pacific War, Japanese industry increasingly turned to Korean, Allied POW and Chinese forced labor. Some 10, Korean forced laborers toiled under miserable conditions for Aso Mining. In addition, it is now emerging that Allied prisoners of war performed forced labor at Fukuoka POW Branch Camp No. 26, better known as the Aso Yoshikuma coal mine.

The remarks, which the DPJ called "unforgivable", are telltale signs of frustration in Mr Aso's camp a year after the Democrats handed his party a historic defeat and took control of Parliament's upper house, where it has used its power to block government legislation. In a recent speech that again raised the spectre of jackboots, Mr Aso accused the opposition of stalling debate: "Under the Weimer Republic there were numerous instances of refusals to debate. That made people think maybe we should give the Nazis a try and we • Prime Track of Archipelago from shut In that Japanese name, the first name is Asō.The baptismal name evaluation Francisco.
