The aim of this article is to search for possible solutions for history-related friction between Japan and its neighbors. The so-called Ryukyu Shipwreck Incident, also known as the Mudan Incident in English, occurred in December 1871; when 54 shipwrecked Ryukyuans were massacred by Taiwanese aborigines. The incident gave Japan a pretext for its first overseas military action of the modern period toward the Taiwanese aboriginal territories in 1874. Since shortly after the beginning of the twenty-first century, the descendants of both the assaulters and the victims of the massacre have begun to take a step toward reconciliation. This article focuses on the local quest of Japan and Taiwan for reversing the damage caused by the history of recent years, and discusses the potential along with the limitations which this local attempt indicates, in terms of settling the discord over history between Japan and its neighbors.
