While national memory - as in the political cult of the dead - is based upon the alleged insight into the necessity of sacrifice and the oblivion of the physical aspects of death, Noguchi's work is clearly not intended as a memorial for fallen soldiers.
The possibility of national identification of bones is of crucial importance for the appreciation and remembrance in the political cult of the dead.
