Recommended: Effect of the Second World War on Japan

The Night Attack on Sanjo Palace has the purpose of documenting an era of Japanese history. Specifically, the details show a war and the “Events of the Heiji Era” in the 13th century. The Night Attack was a plan of Fujiwara no Nobuyori’s plan to kidnap the emporer and retired emperor to gain more power in the empire. The scrolls were probably most meaningful to the people in the night attack, but currently, the scroll is probably most meaningful to relatives of people in the night attack and war, because it represents a part of their history that their ancestors were included in. An overall theme seen in the work of art is chaos, every detail, whether it’s of people or the flames, it is chaotic and does not all flow together. The work is currently

(Lamers 2005) This is the tenth through fourteenth centuries, before the samurai became prominent in Japan and were trying to form themselves into more of what we think of them today. Friday focuses on five aspects of war in his book; they are the meaning of war, the organization of war, the tools of war, the science of war, and the culture of war.

  • The Go Masters And Turtleback Tombs And Japan's Impact Of War In Modern Japan

    1467 Words  | 3 Pages

    Much of what is considered modern Japan has been fundamentally shaped by its involvement in various wars throughout history. In particular, the events of World War II led to radical changes in Japanese society, both politically and socially. While much focus has been placed on the broad, overarching impacts of war on Japan, it is through careful inspection of literature and art that we can understand war’s impact on the lives of everyday people. The Go Masters, the first collaborative film between China and Japan post-WWII, and “Turtleback Tombs,” a short story by Okinawan author Oshiro Tatsuhiro, both give insight to how war can fundamentally change how a place is perceived, on both an abstract and concrete level.

  • Sword And Scabbard Analysis

    1041 Words  | 3 Pages

    As seen by the works of “Blade and Mounting for a Slung Sword (Tachi)” by the Japanese swordsmith Normitsu and, “Blades and Mountings for a Pair of Swords (Daishō)”, by Sukemitsu of Bizen swords are generally black. Their appearance suggest a message of seriousness and convey to the audience a sense of responsibility to the nature of the work which they witness. Felix Naussbaum’s Self Portrait with Jewish Identity Card, is a work shrouded in dark tones of grey and black (Frank). The already critical issue of the Holocaust exudes a sense of fear and emotion that not just encapsulates a reader but holds them accountable to see with their sight but their hearts. The cold nature of weapons are complimented to the colors and tone wielded and heated still and iron. The artist use of color to gold plate Sword and Scabbard allow the work to transcend from a weapon and be seen in totality as a decorative motif capable of delivering both beauty and death to its

  • Elie Wiesel Night Analysis

    451 Words  | 1 Pages

    The cruel events that unfold in the Holocaust irreversibly damage Elie’s stance on God. What kind of God could let innocent Jews be burned alive, to be starved till they were nothing but skin and bone, to be treated like animals…? how could a benevolent God let such depravities occur? Not only were the Nazis unjustly cruel, but prisoners began to only think and act for themselves. If the world around him were selfish and cruel, Elie began to believe that God must be equally so. Elie eventually ceases to pray, refuses to fast (which was Jewish tradition), and questions the morality of God — the benevolent, peaceful, all-loving figure he once knew was nothing but a memory, and his belief had been severely shaken due to his experiences during

  • Snow Falling On Cedars Analysis

    In Night, the symbol of fire represents the Nazi’s terrible power over the Jews. Elie and his father had no control over their own life when they were incarcerated in concentration camps because of the prejudices of the Nazi. Kabuo has been incarcerated for crime he did not commit due to the prejudices because of his race. This is comparable to Elie who was imprisoned in the camp due to prejudices by the Nazi for his religion. Kabuo whole life has been thrown into chaos as a result of the false charges which he is at the mercy of a racist jury that thinks his quietness and docile behavior are signs of him being guilty. There is the fact that Japanese American citizen all over the country including San Piedro were held against their will in internment camps during World War II despite having nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. This is comparable to Elie and his father whose whole life was thrown into chaos when they were taken from their home and forces into many concentration camps by the Nazi for being Jewish. Both of these examples show that they each had their own outside forces beyond their

  • Samurai, Yangban, and Gentry: Dealing with the Problem of the Uprising of the Lower Classes

    1063 Words  | 3 Pages

    The samurai of Tokugawa Japan, the yangban of Choson Korea, and the gentry of Ming China were three very powerful and elite groups of East Asia. These groups consisted of high ranking government officials with judicial power and influence. Although the groups were located in the same region they had their similarities and differences in how they obtained power and how they used their power. Japanese samurai were military nobility who had almost as much power as the emperor, but were not the highest ranking officials whereas the yangban officials of Korea were the highest ranking rulers. The gentry of the Ming period of China were once high ranking rulers; however, the gentry were defined as retired Chinese bureaucrats. Socially, all of these groups, at one point or another, were high ranking officials with power in office. The elite groups ruled in different areas of Asia, but they had similarities as well as differences in sources of power, functions as officials, and the problems they faced as elite groups in Asia.

  • The Pearl Habor Attack

    1548 Words  | 4 Pages

    United States during 1940 and 1941 evoke Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor is often regarded by many American’s as a ‘surprise’ attack that was gratuitous, while historical documents from principal figures on both the Japanese side and the side of the U.S, but there has been evidence and research to the contrary. Pearl Harbor is one of the most memorable events in World War II from U.S perspective. While one may debate as to whether or not the U.S would have still entered WWII (though the argument strongly leans to the former,) the attack on Pearl Harbor served as symbol of sacrifice for the American people and help contribute to the patriotism that help them win the war. The scope of this investigation will focus on U.S–Japanese relations between 1937-1941, but will make us of evidence as far back as 1919 to justify analytical interpretations as well as other perspectives. Methods used in this investigation are an examination of a public address (fireside chat) given by Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 9th, 1941, and and an Inventory of Conflict and Environment Case study (The Way to Pearl Harbor: US vs Japan) by Yuichi Arima and conducted through the American University. These two particular methods are evaluated for their origin, purpose, value and limitations. A propaganda film cited is only used for its quotes and/or facts that were then checked through multiple sources.

  • Formal Analysis of The 3rd of May, 1808. Painted by Francesco Goya.

    1100 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...s work The 3rd of May, 1808 is a very detailed and dramatic narrative within a collection of war themed works by the artist. I believe that by using the formal elements of color, texture, shape, lines, space, and the value I was able to sufficiently provide evidence that Goya offers a sequential order of direction for the audience to comprehend from their personal viewing. The twisted and grief stricken work creates a massive emotional connection and the artist plans for the viewers’ to grow and understand this message. The subject highlighted is obvious that Goya is passionate on his stance and outlook on war is suggested in the work. It’s obvious that Goya’s formal organization of his color palette, variation of brushes, repeating shapes, and play with lighting all correspond to depict man’s savage and at times monstrous actions are justified during war.
