Social Science : How Writers Faced the "Japanese War" In the early Showa period, many writers who praised the war, such as Soho Tokutomi, appeared. On the other hand, those who advocated anti-war were severely suppressed. Even Tanizaki Junichiro was stopped from publishing the magazine series of 『 The Makioka Sisters 』 by the military, saying "it was inappropriate during the war" (1943). However, he did not resist this suppression and continued to write quietly, becoming a bestseller after the war. The reason why we are paying attention to tanizaki and other "writers who did not praise the war, did not protest, did not want to get involved with the war," is because the world is covered with the atmosphere heading toward the Third World War. What should we learn from the attitude of the writers who turned their back on the war?
