In this paper, I have discussed the issue of memory inheritance raised by Fukuma Yoshiaki from the perspective of Okinawan subalterns. From the perspective of subalterns, Okinawa is in a subordinate position in relation to the mainland, and the colonialist structure is still firmly in place. In addition, the discriminatory structure of Okinawa not only related to the dominant power, but also created another discriminatory structure within the subaltern or in relation to other subalterns. The political discourse of the Okinawan subalterns seeking self-determination has been continuously attempted, but has been denied by the Japanese government. I looked at how their memorials and monuments are reproduced in order to pass on the memory of the Battle of Okinawa to future generations and to pass on its meaning. The typical memorials and monuments to the Battle of Okinawa do not pass on the memory of the war, but rather cause people to forget the issues of their desires and war responsibility that are contained within them. Furthermore, such memorials and monuments may not make us aware of the colonialist relationship and discriminatory structure of Okinawa, or may even work to conceal them. We need to pay attention to the movement to pass on the memory of the war in Okinawa in terms of how the legacy of pain is remembered and recorded, and what kind of awareness such monuments raise.
