On August 6, 1997, when 55,000 people gathered in Hiroshima to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the devastating bombing that killed an estimated 140,000 people and brought World War Ⅱ to a sudden halt, the city’s newly elected mayor broke with tradition by adding a few uncustomay lines to the annual Peace Declaration. It should also be recalled, he declared, that "Japan inflicted great suffering and despair on the peoples of Asia and the Pacific during its reign of colonial domination and war. For this we are truly sorry." Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Japaness assalt on the U.S., he added, "Remembering all too well the horror of this war, starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending with the atombombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are determined anew to work for world peace."
Usually, in Japan, when people discuss the war at all, they speak of vicitimization: their own victimization by the militarists who led the country into battle and by the Americans who bombed their cities. The suffering inflicted by the imperial army on the peoples of Asia is ignored, as is Japna’s aggression in China and at Pearl Harbor. The appealing image of Japan the victim has no room for the underside of Japan the aggressor.

1997年8月6日，55000人在广岛集会，纪念原子弹事件46周年。毁灭性的原子弹使约14万人丧命，遏止了二次大战的战火。广岛市新当选的市长打破传统，在年度《和平宣言》中增加了不寻常内容。他宣称人们应该牢记"日本在亚洲和太平洋地区实行侵略和殖民统治期间，给这些地区的人民带来了苦难和绝望，为此我们深感内疚。"谈及50年前日本袭击美国事件，他补充道："对可怕的二战，我们仍记忆犹新，从日本偷袭珍珠港开始，到广岛、长崎原子弹爆炸告终。我们决心为世界和平继续奋斗。"
在日本，只要提到战争，就会讲到受害，讲他们是军国主义的受害者，军国主义把国家引入战争;他们是美国的受害者，美国向他们的城市投掷了原子弹。然而他们闭口不谈皇军给亚洲人民带来的灾难、也不谈对华侵略、偷袭珍珠港。日本作为战争的受害者，形象很感人，从而掩盖了其侵略者的一面。
