Propaganda in Japan

In Japan, like in most other countries, propaganda has been a significant phenoman during the 20th century.[1]

Propaganda activities in Japan have been discussed as far back as the Russo-Japanese War of the first decade of the 20th century.[2] Propaganda activities peaked during the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.[3][4] Scholar Koyama Eizo have been credited with developing much of the Japanese propaganda framework during that time.[4][3]

Post-war, some activities of the democratic Japanese government have also been discussed as a form of propaganda, for example the cases of cooperation between anime producers and the Japan Self-Defense Force.[5]
