The journey of writing is not like a trip in which people can relax and enjoy sightseeing. My writing journey has taken a long time, and fixing problems and overcoming obstacles has become the primary work in the journey. The most invaluable lesson on this writing journey has not come from seeing how beautiful the ‘landscape’ has been along the way, but lies in the capacity and confidence that I have built up through dealing with troubles, dilemmas, and mental stress. In this painful, arduous, but significant journey, I have received great encouragement from my main supervisor Professor Iwasaki Minoru, and my sub-supervisors Professor Lee Hyoduk, Professor Yonetani Masafumi, Professor Philip A. Seaton and Professor Hashimoto Yūichi. Without their patient guidance and supervision through the years of my doctoral research, this dissertation would never have been completed. My parent’s unwavering support, both financially and mentally, and warm encouragement from friends and family members have been the spiritual power that kept me going even during those nights when I never got to see the stars in the sky, and through those days sailing through storms, insuring that I never gave up. Thank you to all of you for standing by my side from the beginning to the end.

However, the historical issues between China and Japan are yet to be resolved and still affect bilateral relations today. Trends in Sino-Japanese relations have changed between 1972 and 2017, and historical consciousness and war memories in Japan have transformed accordingly. This thesis traces the relationships between Sino-Japanese relations, Japanese historical consciousness and Japanese war memories. The theoretical framework of this thesis is constructed based on memory studies. Memory studies
