Examines the relations between art and politics in transwar Japan, exploring these via a microhistory of the artist, memoirist, and activist Akamatsu Toshiko. Scaling up from the details of Akamatsu's lived experience, the book addresses major events in modern Japanese history, including empire, war, and the nuclear bombings.
