Thanks for this interesting article - the mention of the the Mitsubishi engine plant at Uzumasa reminded me that I once lived under the (presumably rebuilt) factory's shadow. And I like the idea of a war memorial dedicated to the dead of both sides. We could do with a few more of those round the world...
