Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we focused on Hiroshi Gima (1923-2017), who lived in the South Pacific Islands during the prewar era. He incorporated elements of the South Pacific culture into his artistic expression, and this influence was manifested in his postwar picture books. This report summarizes our discussion about the cultural genealogy of postwar Okinawan children’s literature and culture, which has its background in South Pacific culture, as seen through Gima’s work in children’s books.
We also discuss other artists, such as Toshiko Akamatsu (1912-2000) and Hisakatsu Hijikata (1900-1977), who also began to create children’s books after their experiences in the South Pacific Islands. We performed a study comparing these artists with Gima, while also investigating their activities in the South Pacific Islands, and we provide insights into children’s books that were published during and after the war. We have already presented part of these findings to our affiliated academic society.
