'The Allied Occupation immediately following the end of the Second World War entailed profound American involvement in virtually every aspect of life in Japan and forever changed the dynamic between the countries. As the world marks half a century since the events of the occupation it is time to reflect on the creative environment that affected the cultural and social life of a country. Many Japanese artists not only suffered reversals of fortune during the war but also a fundamental dislocation of values. Some fell into disrepute, some actively sought an international style, others attempted to overcome the harsh realities of daily existence through heroic arts of expression.
