Japan in Uzbekistan's History
・Japanese Cemetery
Of the Japanese interned by the Soviet Union, approximately 25,000 were forced to work in various parts of Uzbekistan, and 815 died as guests. There is a Japanese cemetery in Tashkent where 79 Japanese are buried, and it is carefully cared for by local administrators.
・Navoi Theater
Completed in 1947, the theater was built by about 500 Japanese internees and served as a shelter for the public during the Great Earthquake of 1966, when other buildings collapsed. A plaque stating that it was built by the Japanese people is displayed on the building.
