 rom the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937\, a storytelling 
 medium called kamishibai was used extensively by the Japanese government in
  its efforts to mobilize all imperial subjects in support of the war: young
  and old\, women and men\, soldiers and civilians\, residents of the Japane
 se islands and residents of the colonies and occupied lands.</p><p>This pre
