| Research Abstract |
Viewing the military postal service as a source with which to analyze popular consciousness during the war, this study conducted a survey of military postal service materials stored at various sites throughout the country. Focusing mainly on the Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku, and Tohoku regions, our survey revealed new aspects of military postal service as collected at these sites. This study considered not only military postal service materials, but also analyzed the sharing of war experiences based on the photographs of an army cameraman with the Shizuoka regiment. Moreover, we demonstrated that the massification and popularization of the war expanded to penetrate many levels of society, from adults to children, by analyzing materials from the home-front that included picture-card shows, card games, dolls, and magazines published by the Ministry of Communications. The results of this research was published in articles, but also made widely available through exhibits.
