About The Archive
This project is an ongoing collaboration between US and Japanese partners to preserve a working memory of Japan’s contemporary energy history—before primary witnesses and unrecorded context disappear.
The archive consolidates interviews, events, and documents gathered in the course of research and documentary production. It is designed as a reference tool for utilities, ministries, and research institutions who require a clearer view of how policy and practice evolved over time.
The visual design of this portal reflects the “classified yet cinematic” nature of the material: serious, restrained, and focused on context rather than spectacle.
