Her work deals with complicated moral and emotional issues of empire and war responsibility that cannot be summed up in simple slogans, which makes it compelling for more than just its considerable beauty. Japanese today are still grappling with the effects of World War II, and, largely because of the inconsistent and ambivalent actions of the government, they are widely seen as resistant to accepting responsibility for their nation's violent actions against others during the decades of colonialism and war. Yet some individuals, such as Tomiyama, have produced nuanced and reflective commentaries on those experiences, and on the difficulty of disentangling herself from the priorities of the nation despite her lifelong political dissent. Tomiyama's sophisticated visual commentary on Japan's history-and on the global history in which Asia is embedded-provides a compelling guide through the difficult terrain of modern historical remembrance, in a distinctively Japanese voice. 410 0$aMichigan monograph series in Japanese studies ;$vno. 69. 606 $aArt$xMoral and ethical aspects$zJapan 615 0$aArt$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a709.2 686 $aLAN000000$aSOC000000$aSOC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aHein$b Laura 701 $aJennison$b Rebecca$f1949-$01024302 701 $aHein$b Laura Elizabeth$01024303 701 $aTomiyama$b Taeko$f1921-$01024304 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416520603321 996 $aImagination without Borders$92434249 997 $aUNINA
