House of Sharing Japanese Military 'Comfort Women' History Museum

The Heeum Japanese Military ‘Comfort Women’ History Museum was opened in 2015 by rebuilding a Japanese-style wooden building (Jeoksan House) by a citizen group with the grandmothers of Jeongjeongdae. It introduces the testimonies and lives of victim survivors in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region and exhibits the comfort station system and the history of the movement to resolve the Japanese military ‘comfort women’ issue. You can also see the pressed flower works of the late Kim Soon-ak and Shim Dal-yeon and the footsteps of the citizens’ group launched in 1997 through photos and videos. Additionally, there is a media art work called ‘You Last Winter’, which was created based on a picture book with the theme of Japanese military ‘comfort women’.
