Title A name given to the resource Model for the Memorial to the Dead of Hiroshima Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource 野口　勇 (Noguchi Isamu) Type The nature or genre of the resource unrealized model (black granite and concrete intended) Description An account of the resource Noguchi's planned model for the bomb atomic memorial for Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which was rejected for a variety of reasons.

Title A name given to the resource Sacred Soldier to the Rescue Subject The topic of the resource 神兵の救出到る (Shinhei no Kyushutsu itaru) Description An account of the resource Unlike Fujita'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's crotch, almost like a phallic symbol.
