This dissertation examines Japanese photographic coverage of the Vietnam War from 1963 to 1975. During those twelve years, more than fifty Japanese photographers traveled to Indochina in order to cover the war, and their photographs reached millions of Japanese through popular periodicals, books, and public exhibitions. Japanese photographers did more than simply facilitate encounters with images from Southeast Asia; they promoted particular understandings of war that were tied to their personal histories and political beliefs, and that were inextricable from the context of 1960s and 1970s Japan. Their depictions of war, this dissertation argues, provided Japanese with a visual language capable of accommodating the ambiguities that dominated understandings of Japan's wartime past and postwar present. Photographers represented soldiers (heishi) as the brutish agents of state violence, victims of war in their own right, and as anti-imperialist liberators. At the same time, they cast civilians---or the people (minshu )---during wartime as both moral authorities and morally corrupted. These seemingly incompatible depictions of Vietnam War experiences made sense to Japanese because they provided ways of visually describing the unresolved trauma of the Asia-Pacific War and Japan's subordination to the American Cold War prerogatives. Photographers showed their Japanese audiences war in ways meant to evoke shame, sympathy, nostalgia, and admiration, and in so doing they captured complexity of Japan's recent past.
