Following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the Japanese Military Government conducted property registration. These property registration archives recorded detailed information such as the addresses, sizes, ownerships and valuations of properties, and documented the renaming of Hong Kong streets and districts with Japanese-style names by the Japanese Military Government. Additionally, buildings and land were also confiscated by the Japanese Military Government. For example, the Japanese Military Government forcibly acquired land near Kai Tak Airport and displaced residents, levelled part of Sacred Hill and damaged the large boulder inscribed with the words "Sung Wong Toi" to extend the Kai Tak Airport, resulting in irreversible changes to Hong Kong’s historical landscape and cultural memory.
