AB - This study aims to identify the Japanese emperor’s responsibility for war through “Pandora no Kane” published in 1999 by Hideki Noda, a playwright and director who has led the new trend of Japanese modern theater since the 1980s. This study raises questions on the nature of the problem Noda presents through his drama, which was brought to the attention of the theatrical world when it was first released in the late 1990s. It also understands what type of historical perception Japan's renowned modern playwright has. It is anticipated that exploring the critical mind and its limit regarding the emperor's war responsibility, which presents quite a political and historical idea of the playwright loved by both the Korean and Japanese theatrical circles, would help understand the social attitudes of modern Japanese theater. The immunity of the Japanese emperor from the Second World War remains a root cause of unresolved issues of past history, as well as an issue to be investigated from the modern history of Japan, Asia, and further beyond to the world. In this regard, it is right to take into consideration many Asian countries and their people, who suffered due to the war and invasion, when modern dramas are to deal with this issue. If criticism of the emperor is limited to reflect the mind of the Japanese people, it can only be understood as an expression of 'victim mentality', only to confirm the limit of the domestic view of Japan represented in the drama. In order to investigate the meaning and limitations, this study will first discuss the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, then analyze Noda Hideki's critical view of the war and the emperor's war responsibility in the body of the research.
