The book explores the complex relationship between Japan and the United States following World War II, highlighting Japan's struggle to reconcile its wartime experiences with a rapidly evolving national identity. Igarashi examines how societal forces attempted to suppress memories of loss and trauma, while popular culture emerged as a crucial medium for expressing these suppressed narratives. The author argues that cultural productions during the first twenty-five years postwar played a vital role in shaping Japan's understanding of its past and maintaining a sense of nationhood amidst devastation.
