Abstract
This study focuses on the Urakami Branch of the Nagasaki Prison, which is atomic bombed remains and had a history of housing Chinese who were forcibly deported and Koreans. This study clarified the changes in the narrative of memory of the tragedy and discussed how the space affects the formation and inheritance of collective memory. The results showed: 1) the memory of the Urakami Branch of Nagasaki Prison was clearly described by the people concerned even after the Peace Park was built on the site of the Urakami Branch of Nagasaki Prison. 2) In the immediate post-war period, the narrative of the site of the Urakami Branch of Nagasaki Prison was more explanatory, but in recent years, many of the narratives have been more impressions from a bird's-eye view. 3) the remains of the Urakami Branch of the Nagasaki Penitentiary, which came to light in 1991, shook the question of what memory should be passed on.
