AB - This paper focuses on the movie “Comfort Women” based on the nonfiction work of Kakou Senda, who shocked Japanese society in the 1970s by considering the representation of “Comfort Women” in postwar Japanese popular culture. In postwar Japanese films such as “syunpu-den,” and “Blood and Sand,” the term “Korean comfort women” emphasized the women’s sexuality without their ethnicity having much meaning. Therefore, comfort women’s ethnicities were transformed and invisible, while comfort women were eroticized and placed on a continuous line with postwar “panpan.” A movie based on Senda’s “Comfort Women” was regarded as having a new understanding of colonial rule in the related discourse. However, footage of the film no longer exists. More notable would be the emergence of the term “Japanese comfort women,” which should appear in postwar Japan’s representations. It is necessary to investigate the meaning of Japanese comfort women from the context of Japan in the 1970s, and the relationship between discourse and representation.
