项目摘要

This research project intends to explore the meanings of the US occupation in post-World War II Japan. Specifically, it focused on the Recreation and Amusement Association, a Japanese government-supported organization to "comfort" occupying troops of Allied Powers, mainly the United States. and investigated the mechanism that involved a number of Japanese women in a large-scale prostitution system. It also attempted to explain in general and theoretical terms the sexual relationship between the occupying forces of the US and women in the occupied country of Japan. Although I was not able to collect testimonies of as many former GIs as I had wished, I think I produced works that could contribute to the study on the US occupation of Japan and the relationship between the military and sexuality. On the whole, the study demonstrates the following. First, the political and military power relationship between the US the ruler and Japan the ruled ; second, the meaning of thee relationship between different races, the white and the colored Asian ; third, the role of patriarchal gender in prostitution ; and fourth, the role of the Japanese class and the American middle-class consciousness in prostitution.This study does not end with this project. I will continue to conduct oral histories of former GIs who stayed in Japan immediately after the end of World War II. I believe that with their testimonies, along with the documents and memoirs left by leading people in the US military, US and Japanese governments, Japanese business and writers of both countries, I will be able to better understand the reality of the US occupation of Japan from the bottom up.

本研究计划旨在探讨二战后美国占领日本的意义。具体来说，它的重点是娱乐协会，这是一个日本政府支持的组织，旨在“安慰”盟军（主要是美国）的占领军。并调查了大量日本女性参与大规模卖淫系统的机制。它还试图从一般和理论上解释美国占领军与日本占领国妇女之间的性关系。虽然我不能像我所希望的那样收集许多前美国大兵的证词，但我认为我的作品可以为研究美国占领日本以及军事与性之间的关系做出贡献。总的来说，本研究证明了以下几点。第一，统治者美国与被统治者日本的政治军事力量关系；第二，不同种族之间的关系的意义，白人和有色人种的亚洲；第三，男权性别在卖淫中的作用；第四，日本阶级和美国中产阶级意识在卖淫中的作用。这项研究并没有随着这个项目而结束。我将继续进行第二次世界大战结束后立即留在日本的前大兵的口述历史。我相信，有了他们的证词，再加上美军、美日两国政府、日本商界和两国作家的领军人物留下的文件和回忆录，我将能够更好地从下到上了解美国占领日本的现实。
