There’s literally nothing wrong with this. The people of Japan have more right to the relics of their nation’s fascist past than fucking Durham University does and it’s cool and good that Durham University recognises that and is willing to act on it.
That could be a really powerful statement if it was done by a Japanese institution.
But if the University of Durham did it it would at best be the University of Durham rejecting Japanese fascism, which, really who cares, and given the elements of “remember when our glorious empire beat down those uppity asiatics after they turned to fascism in reaction to all those unequal treaties we forced them to sign” and the whole “not trusting the people of Japan to do it themselves” bit it would almost certainly just be wild coloniser bullshit.
