World War 2 Art Gallery 

During World War 2, Japan was a big part between the different countries. Japan is island off the Pacific Ocean and East of the Asian contient. Japan currently stands at 15 million years old. Japan looked to turn into an advanced industrialized country and sought after the procurement of a huge abroad domain, at first in Korea and China. By late 1941 this last approach caused face to face showdown with the United States and its partners and to vanquish in World War II (1939–45). Since the war, in any case, Japan's marvelous monetary development—one of the best of any country in that period—carried the nation to the cutting edge of the world economy. It presently is one of the world's chief assembling nations and dealers of merchandise and is a worldwide budgetary pioneer. Countries such as Japan made propaganda posters to illustrate their superior status during the war. Not only that, but Japan also supported their allies while belittling their enemies with their use of propaganda. 

​

In Propaganda A, the poster shows Hideki Tojo. He was a General and Prime Minister of Japan during WW2. He was part of the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. By the illustration of this poster, Japan wanted to promote its glorifying status. The quantity and quality of his medals prove that he is a very hard working and talented person to all of Japan. 

​

In propaganda B, the poster reveals how Japan views its enemy during World War 2. At the time, Theodore Roosevelt was the President of the United States, and by the perspective of Japanese media, Japan wanted to show that this United States leader is a horrifying monster. The propaganda poster wished to emphasize the Roosevelt was the enemy, that the United States is a horrible place ruled by an awful person. Therefore this propaganda points out how Japan is belittling there enemies.  

​

In Propaganda C and D, this image illustrates the technological advances Japan had made. Their technological advances helped empower their Japanese military with weapons and vehicles. They wanted to show off their technology in the form of propaganda to prove that they can be a threat to anyone trying to stop them. With that being said, this poster emphasizes how their technology gives them the upper hand during this second World War. 

​

In propaganda E, the art illustrates their ancient noble warrior of Japan: the Samurai. The propaganda shows a giant Samurai in the ocean, destroying an enemy Navy Fleet. In the background, the art shows a Japanese flag and a German Nazi flag. The overall art propaganda Japan is trying to reveal is the assertion of dominance during this War. This art was probably made when Japan and Germany had won a battle so as a way to express their victory, they made a poster in the form of propaganda art. 

​

In propaganda F, this Japanese Propaganda Art illustrates the unification of Japans' allies. On the sign, the art shows kids of the allied countries happily marching in a circle. Above the kids are the countries leaders. At the time Japan allied with Germany and Italy. The unification reveals that they all share a common enemy which was the United States. This overall signifies who not to go against during the second World War.
