Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum

The Peace Memorial Museum, Peace Prayer Park, and the Cornerstone of Peace were established in 1975 on Mabuni Hill, next to the "Suicide Cliffs" where the Battle of Okinawa ended.^[1] The Cornerstone of Peace is a semi-circular avenue of stones engraved with the names of all the dead from the Battle of Okinawa, organized by nationality (or by ethnicity for Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans, and Okinawans). The Memorial Path includes 32 memorial monuments as well as the place where Lieutenant General Ushima died by suicide. There are a number of separate memorials including the Okinawa Peace Hall, a large tower erected in 1978, and individual monuments for each Prefecture of Japan.^[2]
