Ikeda","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incisive study of non-battle paintings produced in Japan during the 1930s and early 1940s that have received scant scholarly attention relative to more overtly militarist imagery. Ikeda examines the work of four prominent artists — Yokoyama Taikan, Yasuda Yukihiko, Uemura Shōen, and Fujita Tsuguharu — through the framework of Japanese fascism, demonstrating how their seemingly traditional paintings of Mount Fuji, historical samurai, beautiful women, and rural landscapes functioned to reinforce state ideology and justify imperial violence by asserting the cultural authenticity of Japan's wartime political order. The book challenges the postwar tendency to treat only explicit battle paintings as politically compromised, opening a broader comparative dialogue with art produced under Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the same period.\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 The Politics of Painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fascism and Japanese Art during the Second World War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asato Ikeda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e University of Hawai'i Press, Honolulu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 color; 12 black-and-white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-0824872120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.25 × 7.25 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asato Ikeda is Assistant Professor, Department of Art History, Fordham University.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e An incisive study of non-battle paintings produced in Japan during the 1930s and early 1940s that have received scant scholarly attention relative to more overtly militarist imagery.
