Reflection on Comfort of Women

REFLECTOIN: The rape of Nanking- comfort of women Later on in World War 2 the Japanese men that ended up coming back from war have been thriving to do such horrible terrifying things that would scar you just by hearing it. They would kidnap poor innocent young women to be forced into prostitution. This kind of prostitution was consider and done by the empire of japan. Over thousands of women have been raped and killed by the imperial Japanese solider. They would take such disturbing pictures of women naked, scared and hurt. This had given them such weird pleasure and happiness, it didn’t seem to bother or make them feel guilty. In the 1930’s around 1937 the Asian holocaust began. When the Japanese took over the city of Nanking in china. So many people were ignorant didn’t try to make effort or do anything about this to stop such terrifying things to happen to young women and since nothing was done, it had been forgotten about during ww2.

I have portrayed my art piece of how the Japanese woman, that’s crouched down in the middle of the room covering her face to show how depressed and how mentally and physically she’s been hurt. I made the hands come through the wall surrounding her show how she’s stuck and can’t move or do anything about it because of her forced situation. Also shows how she has no strength or courage to get out or away from it. If I was a citizen experiencing this during ww2 I would feel horrified and I would rather die then have that happen to me that’s how scary it is. I think other country people from would feel pity and sad for these women but scared because they can’t do anything about it since japan had so much power at a point. I would want people to feel bad and scared that something this horrible had happened in the past and nothing was done about it , but now should be taken into consideration because I know stuff like this still happens in other country so hidden and unknown which needs to stop. It would make you feel scared
