We planned and produced the special site and 360 degree video content for the NHK special broadcast “Complete Record of the Battle of Okinawa.”
It was the only land battle on Japanese soil.
Why did the casualties rise so high?
Okinawa Prefecture conducted the only survey of wartime deaths by household after the war, and the results had not been made public before. The data covered 82,074 people whose time and place of death were known, and plotted their deaths on a map on a day-by-day basis.
Rather than content designed to promote the TV broadcast, this was a new effort by NHK to convey information to the next generation in a time when we are losing the generation that experienced the war.
Please view it for yourself and help to pass the information on to the future.
*To convey the realities of war, images and video of the dead are shown.
