That’s the “Rape of Nanking” You mean the “Bataan Death March”. “War Crimes” is a modern concept mostly came in with post World War 2 with origins during the turn of the 20th century with the Hague Convention, or earlier with the Geneva Convention.

And I don’t think allies tried the Japanese for a war crime for attacking Peal Harbor.

Which bring me to my original question? Who are the “Society?” ... I don’t think they represent the Japanese government.

On a lesser scale but still murder:

Wake Isl. “A few miles away from the memorials that commemorate the war dead on Wake, the “POW Rock” stands on the lagoon shore of Wilkes, mute testimony to the ninety-eight Americans massacred in 1943.”
