Kantō Massacre: Living Resource Archive

This living document serves as a growing repository of materials—videos, readings, and current developments—related to the massacre of Koreans and other marginalized groups following the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923. The event, fueled by xenophobia and state complicity, remains one of the most underexamined atrocities in modern Japanese history.

Our goal is to centralize accessible and scholarly resources for educators, researchers, organizers, and anyone seeking to understand both the historical facts and the continuing legacy of this violence. This is a collaborative effort. If you know of additional materials—testimonies, translated articles, visual media, or new research—please feel free to submit them for inclusion.

Let’s ensure this history is not forgotten.
