    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[神兵の救出到る (Shinhei no Kyushutsu itaru)]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Unlike Fujita&#039;s other action-packed war paintings, this one is more tranquil. It shows a Japanese soldier entering the house of a luxurious Dutch-owned house in Indonesia, whose owners have tied up their black servant and abandoned her while they ran. The propagandist painting convey a message of Japanese soldiers rescuing other ethnicities from white men, and expressing a sense of moral superiority of the Japanese. Despite this, it still falls into the same tendency of Western paintings where other ethnicities and cultures are feminized and exoticized. For example, the breasts of the female is pronounced while the rifle of the soldier is placed near the figure&#039;s crotch, almost like a phallic symbol. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[飢渴 (Kikatsu)]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compared to Miyamoto&#039;s many war paintings, Hunger and Thirst is special in many ways. First, it wasn&#039;t commissioned by the military nor is it based on any specific military event or photograph. Miyamoto&#039;s conception for this painting came purely from this own imagination. Secondly, and most apparent, this painting does not portray a glorious subject. It shows an injured and downtrodden Japanese soldier surprised and horrified by his own face reflected from a puddle. Other than highlighting the horrors of war, this painting also depicts the dilemma of Japanese people trying to find their ideal self-identity in a caucasian-centered world. ]]></dcterms:description>
