American Hijiki: Nosaka Akiyukis 1967 story depicts the main character Toshios memory as the past intrudes into his present everyday life. How does the war and the occupier within continue to shape his life and relationships, although Japan has recovered from the war (or forgotten, denied elements of the war) in many ways economically and materially? John Dowers chapter on kyodatsu may also be useful here.

Format: double-spaced, 1-1.25 margins, in a 12pt font. Your paper should have a title of its own (not Final Paper) and each page should be numbered.

Outside sources: are not necessary. The papers are based on class readings and screenings. Papers with unapproved extra research will be marked down 50%. Off-topic papers will not be graded (if you want to write on an independent topic, you must clear it with the TA or prof in advance.)
