摘要

当亚洲和欧洲迅速走向另一场灾难性的世界大战时,日本政府在1939年至1940年的纽约世界博览会上,让其事实上的国家宣传机器Nippon Kōbō加强了美国对日本一切事物的热爱。寺庙般的国家馆坐落在一个广阔的花园中,庆祝两国之间牢固的外交和贸易关系,同时通过展示迷人的和服妇女从事丝绸生产,插花和无处不在的茶道,突出了日本“柔软”和更女性化的一面。1939年5月,性别扭曲的表演艺术公司宝冢(Takarazuka)受到的欢迎表明,美国人不愿改变他们对日本的看法,认为日本是一个樱花盛开、柳枝摇曳的少女之地。

Performing Japan in the ‘World of Tomorrow’
As Asia and Europe raced toward another catastrophic world war, the Japanese government engaged Nippon Kōbō, its de-facto state propaganda machine, to reinforce America’s love affair with all things Japanese at the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair. The temple-like national pavilion set amidst an extensive garden celebrated the strong diplomatic and trade relationship between the two countries, while highlighting the ‘softer’ and more feminine side of Japan through displays featuring attractive, kimono-clad women engaged in silk production, ikebana floral arranging, and the ubiquitous ‘tea ceremony.’ The reception given to the genderbending performing arts company, Takarazuka in May, 1939, suggests Americans were unwilling to change their perception of Japan as the land of cherry blossoms and willowy maidens.
