Kaneko focuses on prominent yōga painters including Fujita Tsuguharu, Yasui Sōtarō, Matsumoto Shunsuke, and Yamashita Kiyoshi, analyzing their depictions of male bodies through the overlapping lenses of gender politics, race, and the visual ideology of the Japanese Empire. Rather than accepting the postwar model of unilateral state control over artistic production, Kaneko proposes a more nuanced reading of artists' agency within late imperial visual culture. Profusely illustrated. A significant contribution to the study of Japanese war art and modern art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirroring the Japanese Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Male Figure in Yōga Painting, 1930–1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maki Kaneko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdapted\/Edited\/Foreword by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Series editor: John T.
