Abstract
This paper is one of the attempts to show how each East-Asian regional country's memory of the war has been related to the post-war literatures and movies restricted by the structure of the Cold War. In particular, this paper takes up the issue of how the structure of Japanese culture after World War II was heavily influenced by the Cold War. When Japan was under the Occupational Forces, Japanese writers and film directors settling on the subject matter of the war were not free from the strain of the systematic censorship by GHQ. Translating into mechanisms of their works using the body or woman (comfort woman) by squarely facing the facts of the East-Asian history, this paper reconsiders the body of post-colonial Japan.
