If the image of Hashima Coal Mine (Gunkanjima) as a “negative legacy” were fabricated by NHK itself, would you forgive NHK for its biased reporting in the documentary program titled “Realization!! (Do! Do! Do!) in the ‘Island of Remembrance: A Trembling Legacy of History’”—which one-sidedly labeled the aforementioned coal mine a “negative legacy”? We did not suppose that we have confronted with such a fact.

And, we have concluded that an unbelievable falsification of facts took place in the program called “the Greenless Island,” a documentary in regards to Hashima Coal Mine that was broadcast on NHK (NHK総合) on November 17th, 1955.

Sixty-five years have passed since the program was broadcast, and the impact of the program has had on the world is immeasurable.
