Throughout WWII, and especially at the end with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan was in the middle of a societal\/political shift from a more conservative and traditional society to &#8220;Taish\u00f5 &#8216;liberals&#8217; and postwar democracy&#8221;. The prints were a way for artists to display their versions of Japan and with the growing conflict from the war, the Japanese Print Service Society was created in. 1943, as a way to collect and obtain materials such as ink, wood, and washi paper. Landscape prints from 1937 to 1945 show Japan as a &#8220;divine land {sumera no mikuni}&#8221; with these prints showing the beauty of land troubled with war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/yhst-138752438759755_2640_795262994.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-884\" width=\"838\" height=\"1174\" \/><figcaption>Ito Shinsui, born in 1898, was a Japanese painter, who mainly painted Geishas and other women from 1920 to 1970 before his death in 1972.
