Description
Fanning the Flames: A comprehensive look at Japan's use of popular arts for propaganda during its modernization efforts. This book explores how Japan employed popular arts, including woodblock prints, photos, posters, and street paper plays, to create an imperialist fervor. With over 100 rich color illustrations from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, it provides a unique visual narrative that charts the rise of an imperialist nation from the First Sino-Japanese War through World War II. The book sheds light on how expansionist policy disseminated through mass media to shape modern Japan and its relations with East and West, as well as its neighbors. A valuable resource for understanding Japan's transformation into an expansionist empire, Fanning the Flames is a scholarly work that will appeal to those interested in Japanese history and politics.
