Sobre este artículo
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2002. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x1x9. Reprint. Front cover creased. 2002 Trade Paperback. 428 pp. Why did almost one thousand highly educated "student soldiers" volunteer to serve in Japan's tokkotai (kamikaze) operations near the end of World War II, even though Japan was losing the war' In this fascinating study of the role of symbolism and aesthetics in totalitarian ideology, Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney shows how the state manipulated the time-honored Japanese symbol of the cherry blossom to convince people that it was their honor to "die like beautiful falling cherry petals" for the emperor.
