Indonesia commemorates its 76th independence in 2021. The ceremony is held every August 17 and the whole community participates in celebrating Indonesia's independence with various events throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. However, it is undeniable that the role of former Japanese soldiers in the Indonesian independence process began to fade in the minds of both Indonesians and Japanese.

      The current Indonesia-Japan relations cannot be separated from the fact that former Japanese soldiers were involved in the independence process and their role in the development of economic and friendly relations between Japan and Indonesia.

     Even in the era of globalization, the "attitude" of wanting to learn from the history of Indonesia-Japan is still a universal and absolute factor in efforts to maintain friendly and peaceful relations for Indonesians, Japanese and Japanese descendants, including the descendants of former Japanese soldiers involved in Indonesia-Japan relations.

     It is the responsibility of those of us who are involved in Indonesia-Japan relations from various aspects to participate in providing support by passing down the history of the Former Japanese Soldiers and their families and grandchildren in the development of relations between the two countries which will be handled by the next generation. Related to this, as one of the efforts, we decided to perpetuate the history of the Former Japanese Soldiers and their descendants.
