Abstract

1 ¯ For example, Okubo Yasuo finds an anti-government stance in the war-related texts of this period. Similarly, Sato Shizuo declares that these writers view the conflict as a war of “inhuman invasion” ¯ and depict the “merciless sacrifice of the Japanese people’s lives and livelihoods enforced by the authority of the rule of an absolutist imperial system” (73). All translations from the Japanese are my own, unless otherwise noted. 2 All Japanese authors’ names are presented in accordance with Japanese custom, that is, surname preceding given name, except when the author has a well-known sobriquet or when he has written extensively in English. COMPARATIVE LITERATURE /158 the sengoha.3 He was educated during the years of increasing militarism leading up to the Pacific conflict, he had not published significantly prior to the end of that war, and he had been conscripted at a relatively advanced age. As is the case with his peers, the ways in which Umezaki’s Occupation-era texts created and recreated the self have many ideological and political implications born of the historical instance of their creation and their critical reception, interpretation, and consumption.
