The Japanese Woman, Bronze statue in Kazanlak, Bulgaria
The Japanese Woman statue stands in bronze, depicting a figure wearing traditional Korean clothing to represent victims of wartime sexual slavery.
Created in 2015, this memorial pays tribute to the 200,000 women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.
The statue forms part of a global network of memorials addressing the experiences of Korean women during the Japanese occupation period.
Visitors can find the statue in a public space where it serves as an educational point about historical events and human rights.
This memorial in Bulgaria represents one of the few European installations dedicated to preserving the memory of Korean comfort women.
