Japanese official war artists were commissioned to create artwork in the context of a specific war.〔McCloskey, Barbara. (2005). ''Artists of World War II,'' pp. 111–126.〕 The artists were creating ''sensō sakusen kirokuga'' ("war campaign documentary painting") for the government of Japan.〔Tsuruya, Mayu. ( "Cultural Significance of an Invisible Emperor in ''Sensô Sakusen Kirokuga'' ('War Campaign Documentary Painting')." ) Association for Asian Studies (AAS), Annual Meeting (Boston, Massachusetts), March 22–25, 2007.〕 Official war artists have been appointed by governments for information or propaganda purposes and to record events on the battlefield;〔National Archives (UK), ( "'The Art of War,' Learn About the Art." )〕 but there are many other types of artists depicting the subject or events of war. Between 1937 and 1945, Japan’s military leaders commissioned official war artists to create images of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War. Approximately 200 pictures depicting Japan’s military campaigns were created. These pictures were presented at large-scale exhibitions during the war years.〔 ==Second Sino-Japanese War == The Japanese military supported artists during this conflict. For example, Tsuguharu Foujita was sent to China as an official war artist by the Imperial Japanese Naval Information office. In 1938, he traveled to the battlefield front in central China.〔McCloskey, p. 117.〕 *Tsuguharu Foujita, 1886–1968.〔Nussbaum, "Fujita Tsuguharu" in ''Japan Encyclopedia,'' p. 200; McCloskey, p. 117.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japanese official war artists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
