Picture of the Day: Remembering Victims of Great Kanto Earthquake Massacre

South Korean dancer, Kim Sun-ja, performs “jinhonmu,” a dance for the repose of the deceased, during a memorial service at Yokoamicho Park in Tokyo on Sept. 1, 2017, to pay tribute to Koreans massacred by Japanese in the aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake in Tokyo and its vicinity. A monument at the park says up to 6,000 Koreans were killed. The massacre began when the Japanese government spread rumors of a planned riot by Koreans in a scheme to divert public attention from social unrest. (Yonhap)
