ANPO: Art X War
Nippon Visions ½
In 1960 Japan and the US signed the Mutual Security Treaty ANPO, allowing the enduring presence of US military in Japan. At that time, massive protests against the treaty were subdued by the CIA-backed Japanese Prime Minister. Linda Hoaglund portrays numerous Japanese artists and their depiction of this resistance in their works, many of them long time hidden from public view.
