Features: This book primarily studies the war cognition concepts in post-war Japanese culture, represented by literature, exploring the underlying reasons for such phenomena and meticulously analyzing the representative works of Japanese writers. The content is comprehensive, rigorous, and somewhat readable. The main research topic of this study is the war cognition concepts in post-war Japanese culture, represented by literature. Since the war cognition concepts of the Japanese people are a culmination and accumulation of post-war political, economic, and cultural developments, this study, while examining post-war Japanese literature, also investigates the profound influence of post-war Japanese politics, education, theater, and religion on these war cognition concepts. Through research, it has been found that post-war Japanese culture, represented by literature, has not truly reflected upon or criticized the aggressive war launched by the fascist militarism. In post-war Japan, various fields such as politics, education, literature, theater, and religion, to varying degrees and in different forms, exhibit war cognition concepts that downplay, obscure, distort, deny, or even glorify the aggressive war.
