The Most Destroying Aerial Raid in the History of Japan

The only real monument to that night is this little private museum in a kind of, you know, small office building. I'd say it looks like a dentist office on a side street in East Tokyo. So far from the museum to the most horrific night in the history of Japan is nowhere near all the other museums in Tokyo. But think about it. A guy orders an attack on your capital city in which a hundred thousand people die under the most horrific circumstances imaginable. You turn around and 10 years later you're giving him the highest award that can be given to a foreigner in your country. That suggests to me a kind of willingness eagerness to put the war behind them.
