 Graphic depictions of the painful injuries and deaths of soldiers are commo
 n in one of the most widely disseminated and widely viewed forms of Japanes
 e mobilization propaganda in World War II: kamishibai (literally\, paper pl
 ays). The realistic style and vivid colors of the illustrations of kamishib
 ai plays make the sufferings of Japanese soldiers and munitions factory wor
 kers painfully clear\, raising questions: how could such depictions be inte
 nded to encourage soldiers to enlist\, or to encourage those on the home fr
 ont to continue their backbreaking labor to support the war effort? How did
  these depictions in kamishibai compare with images of the male body in fin
 e art of the same period? This presentation will explore the strategies of 
 persuasion that relied on depictions of male bodies in pain for the purpose
 s of mobilizing the Japanese people to support the war effort.</p><p>This t
