これまでほとんど研究の対象とされてこなかった第二次大戦を経験した旧植民地の兵士や在留者および抑留者を、それぞれの研究者が探しだし、オーラルヒストリー(聞き取り)の方法を用いながら彼らの戦前戦中戦後の経験の語りをそのまま録音・記録し(可能な場合は録画もおこない)、文献資料との照合が可能なものについてはその作業をおこない、論文その他の成果刊行物にまとめた(現在も進行中)。とりあげた植民地は英領ビルマ(一部インド)と米領フィリピンで、関係者(旧植民地兵士、英系ビルマ人)の聞き取りは両国のほか英国、ニュージーランド、ケニア、台湾、米国におよんだ。研究者相互の情報交換を密にし、今後の総合的な成果発表を目指す基盤を築いた。

This research has investigated the process of the formation of Image of Japan based on the experience of the Prisoners-of-Wars' and their families, during and post-war period. I had conducted the oral history of various POWs, their wives, widows, and daughters. This led us to the deeper insight of the family legacy of trauma of the POWs' experience, particularly seen amongst the daughters. The wives' and the widows' discourse occasionally support, and sometimes undermine the heroic stories of the POWs themselves.
The research is both valuable due to the rare interviews, oral testimonies, voices of the forgotten part of the war, and also due to the close analysis of the methodology of the oral history itself. I have investigated the history of Oral history, and gave some research on the validity of the 'oral testimony'.
The recorded voice, which is seen in the sample DVD, will be held at Okayama University as an archive, which need some more time to be transcribed and catalogued. -
