In Japan during World War II, there was a military code called “Senjinkun” which taught that it was a shame for a soldier to be captured by his enemy and that he had to die for the sake of his honor. The code was widely followed and believed yet the daily lives and emotional state of Japanese prisoners of war (POWs) has not been adequately studied. This paper focuses on the survivors of the Cowra Breakout, a massive and suicidal uprising by approximately 1,000 Japanese POWs on August 5, 1944 at Cowra Internment and Prisoner of War Camp, Australia, looking first at how daily life at the POW camp challenged and changed men who had previously lived with daily violence in the homosocial military. Then, how playing a female role (Onnagata) in camp theater performances became a symbolic event is explained, which was a form of initiation and an important step allowing prisoners to free themselves from their previous values and the mind control of the narrow definition of “masculinity”.}, pages = {301--309}, title = {女形のいる風景 : 第二次世界大戦中の日本兵戦争捕虜収容所の日常と「男らしさ」の脱構築}, volume = {15}, year = {2013} }
