2008157684Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press 2008. Softcover. Fine but art school ex-lib. copy with usual marks. Beige/color-illus. wraps. xxxiv 310 pp. full of bw illus. In 1939 the painter Iwamatsu Jun 1908-1994 and his artist wife Tomoe arrived in the U.S. as political refugees. During World War II Iwamatsu used his artistic talents for the U.S. war effort and he adopted a pseudonym Taro Yashima to protect his young son whom he left behind in Japan. The New Sun which was published in the U.S. in 1943 is an account of his life in prewar Japan. In its depiction of ordinary Japanese The New Sun is both an indictment of Japanese militarism and a plea for American understanding of "the enemy." Told mainly though Yashima's powerful artwork it is a personal and political text of a rural doctor's son who becomes an anti-imperialist artist-activist. Yashima recounts how his wife and their peers were imprisoned and brutalized by the Tokkoka Japan's secret police often for months without being formally charged or knowing when they would be released. Despite the arbitrary deprivations and cruelties of life in prison and in Imperial Japan Yashima retains faith in the regenerative possibilities of art and in a future without tyranny. This work of quiet conscience and protest is now as relevant as when it first appeared more than sixty years ago. University of Hawai'i Press paperback books
