Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2002.

Japan's wartime propaganda helped the nation mobilize in World War Two to an extent that far surpassed any other state. During the Second World War (1931–1945) the Japanese populace wanted to, and ultimately did, believe in its own propaganda: it created a powerfully alluring image of Japan as the modern leader of Asia. A close analysis of police, military, commercial and personal records reveals the situation in which careful planning of official and unofficial propaganda campaigns assisted in maintaining public support for the war. Propaganda for mobilization meant that the Japanese learned to tolerate the disaster unfolding before them, long after the glow of original triumphs had faded.

520 $a Japan's wartime propaganda helped the nation mobilize in World War Two to an extent that far surpassed any other state. During the Second World War (1931–1945) the Japanese populace wanted to, and ultimately did, believe in its own propaganda: it created a powerfully alluring image of Japan as the modern leader of Asia. A close analysis of police, military, commercial and personal records reveals the situation in which careful planning of official and unofficial propaganda campaigns assisted in maintaining public support for the war. Propaganda for mobilization meant that the Japanese learned to tolerate the disaster unfolding before them, long after the glow of original triumphs had faded.
520 $a My research supports three main themes: (1) The production of wartime propaganda was not limited to military and fascist circles only. Bureaucrats, writers, photographers and advertisers also believed in a variety of rationales for accepting or helping to develop the propaganda. (2) Wartime propaganda was not only bestowed on the people, but created with their cooperation. Japanese propaganda worked at many different levels of society and across many different venues. The propaganda appealed to a mass audience, but that audience also helped produce the propaganda. (3) No organization took domestic support for the war's aims for granted. Bureaucratic and military agencies continually monitored the populace for dissatisfaction.
520 $a Chapter one of the thesis discusses the professional propagandists and their craft. Chapter two deals with the popular culture and entertainment industry that supported the war. The third chapter analyses the police and military's negative reinforcement and the advertising industry's visual reinforcement of the propaganda messages. Chapter four examines ways in which China and the United States reacted to Japanese propaganda efforts within their own national borders. The concluding chapter five illustrates continuities between wartime and postwar Japan. I contend the Japanese actually prepared for defeat using many of the same propaganda agencies and techniques that had been employed during the war.
