銃後の朝鮮

Released immediately following Japan＇s victory in the Sino-Japanese War, this war propaganda film depicts the social atmosphere of Joseon during the turbulent times. Offering a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Joseon Governor General Office and the diffusion of Japanese language in Joseon, the film provides fascinating images such as Joseon women in kimonos cheering for the Imperial Japanese army, a troop train full of gleeful volunteers departing for war, hard-working Joseon women helping out in the production of ammunition, and war fund-raising events and campaigns.
