A 25-year-old Japanese university lecturer has created a virtual Siberian internment camp to help young people better understand the reality of forced labor in the extreme cold and other harsh events experienced by Japanese troops detained by the Soviet Union after World War II.

In November 2021, Hama, who was studying digital technology at the time, participated in an initiative to hold an online school festival amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
