Alicia Volk, "In the Shadow of Empire: Art in Occupied Japan" (U Chicago Press, 2025)

Alicia Volk’s In the Shadow of Empire: Art in Occupied Japan (University of Chicago Press, 2025) uncovers the largely overlooked history of Japanese art during the years of occupation (1945-1952). Volk’s diverse case studies trace the intersections of politics and art in this charged period. As it had accommodated, shaped, and resisted empire, Japanese art now accommodated, shaped, and resisted the push and pull of defeat, occupation, and the dawning Cold War. In the Shadow of Empire’s chapters present a range of practitioners and practices and their struggles in the new geopolitical order taking shape around them, taking into account not just the domestic context of Japan’s relationship with the American-led occupation, but with Japan’s erstwhile Asian empire, the socialist bloc, and audiences in “the West.” Spoiler alert! At the conclusion of the podcast, we talk about this image. Alicia Volk is professor of Japanese art at the University of Maryland; she is the author of Made in Japan: The Postwar Creative Print Movement and In Pursuit of Universalism: Yorozu Tetsugorō and Japanese Modern Art, recipient of the Phillips Book Prize. Nathan Hopson is an associate professor of Japanese language and history in the Department of Foreign Languages, University of Bergen. Learn more about your ad choices.
