This paper aims to review the reality of the Japanese government's post-war settlements and recognition of history, which is a precondition for historical reconciliation between Korea and Japan. Reviewing post-war settlements will focus on ① whether the Japanese government paid reparations/compensation for colonial rule and wars of aggression and ② whether the matter of making individual claims has been settled. Reviewing the Japanese government's recognition of history will focus on ① what the government's official position is on its past colonial rule and wars of aggression, namely whether it has officially made apologies and shown contrition, and ② whether the 1995 statement by former Japanese Prime Minister Murayama, widely considered as representative of the Japanese government's official recognition of history, is being upheld.(original abstract)
