Good question. I'm interested in this also.

I've observed some Japanese's attitudes towards the A-bombings -- and America in general. Of course, there are some understandabale opinions out there; however, there are also some that intrigued me: some didn't seem to care as much as I expected, showing little concern. I don't know whether it's because they don't understand the importance of the topics or at the point where they've accepted and moved on?
Similarly, there have been some instances where it seemed I knew more about Japanese history than a Japanese did, which I found suprising.

In retrospect, however, I guess since I don't know a lot about Australian or American history (I was raised in both AUS and USA - born in AUS), this may be similar in Japan?
