| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to empirically investigate the racial representations of the “‘black’ images” in visual culture, such as artworks and reproduction media, mainly in modern Japan. In Japan’s “black” representations, emphasis is placed on the differentiation of the visual information of skin color because of little real contact in society. The idea creates images that exist only in fiction, which is associated with exaggeration and stereotypes. “Black” skins in each period are tinged with the transfiguration of the views of race, civilization, and the world, and reflect a shared gaze toward the “others.”
