Propaganda in Japan

[4][3] Post-war, some activities of the democratic Japanese government have also been discussed as a form of propaganda, for example the cases of cooperation between anime producers and the Japan Self-Defense Force.

This was a major victory for the Japanese as it displayed to the world the ability of an Eastern country to defeat a Western power in an all out war.

[7] One such example of this is the Japanese attempt to twist the words of Turkologist, Armin Vámbéry, by announcing that they had convinced him to rescind a paper regarding his previous anti-Japanese and 'yellow peril' themed work.

[6] With the creation of the first film camera, the usage of cinema allowed the average denizens of the major cities in Japan to have a visual representation of the war in motion.

[8] To generate support for its invasion of northeast China, in the 1930s Japan used a propaganda campaign, the themes of which were repeated for months in newspaper headlines.

From the early 1930s, cultural works, sometimes reinforced by western writers, were published to emphasize a special relationship between Japan and the Mongols as a precursor to military incursions into the region.
