Only after a month, famous writers had visited China to write reportages which told readers in Japan what the war was like. It was characteristic that not only journalists but also professional novelists wrote voluntarily reportages. This phenomenon was not attributed to national propaganda measures. The motive that writers would write reportages was mainly based on the literary problem which artistic writers had discussed from before the war, the relationship between Literature and the public. The war was a good chance for writers to connect Literature with the public and get supported by the government. And the Japanese government backed up writers in order to use Literature for the propaganda campaign. In 1938 the special unit of writers named “Jugun-Pen-Butai” accompanied with the army to China. Reportages by writers got many critics that these reportages were too subjective and sentimental. Critics prized exceptionaly Kishida Kunio’s two reportages. Kishida kept an objective viewpoint against Japan and analyzed the war as a literary person. Since 1939 the soldiers began to write a war story instead of writers. The reportage boom ended just after the Jugun-Pen-Butai. The public needed not professional writers but soldiers as writer.}, pages = {155--174}, title = {文学者としての従軍報告 : 岸田國士『北支物情』・『従軍五十日』から}, volume = {6}, year = {2023} }
