Background of the Post-War Literature in Japan
During the beginning of the post-war period in Japan, the revolution of post-war literature in Japan became modern democratic as "Democracy", "Freedom", "class", and "individual". However, the influence of the emperor system made the revolution of post-war literature of Japan become contra-democratic. Therefore, the post-war literature in Japan had transferred to the management under the imperial institution of Japan.
Characteristics and Significance of the Post-War Literature
During the period post-war in Japan, trama was one of the representations as characteristics in literature and movie. During the literature in post-war Japan, the narration usually would be considered as the view of the "victim" in the war between Japan and other countries. Meanwhile, the reason for creating the characteristics of trauma and victim was the expectation to separate the past and present in Japanese military history.
Besides the characteristics of trauma and victim. The influence of the post-war literature in Japan can be demonstrated as "Body", "Individual", and "National Identity".
The body and the individual identity in post-war Japanese literature could be generally described as "Nikutai"(肉体) and "Kokutai"(国体). The representation of "Nikutai" could be demonstrated as the physical body and the non-physical (spiritual) body in the literature of Japan. The representation of "Kokutai" could be represented as a social-related text about the national identity as the country of Japan.
