The Deterioration of US Sentiments toward Japan in the Prewar Period: Analysis of Cartoons by John T. McCutcheon, the “Dean of American Cartoonists”
The Twenty-first Asian Studies Conference Japan (ASCJ) July 8-9, 2017, Rikkyo University, Tokyo
International Collaboration |
 |
The author explores the reasons why John T. McCutcheon, a pro-Japanese cartoonist, began to turn against Japan and analyze what landmark events like the immigrant problem, conflicts and wars most influenced the change of his sentiments toward Japan. Differing from his contemporaries’ works viciously attacking a hostile nation, his gentle humoristic cartoons showed more moderate views of the public.
