He looks very optimistic about his patrol mission but is a survivor of the Battle of Midway.

There were many Japanese war painters like the war correspondents/photographers attached to the army and the navy during the war. Their works still tell us not only the atmosphere of the battle fields but social conditions of those days.

This painter, Tsuguharu Fujita aka Léonard Foujita, was so energetic and cooperative with the military that he had been substantially deported from Japan after the war was over.

"Saipan" by Fujita in 1945.


"Attu" by Fujita in 1943.

Very nice Shinpachi, top 2 using colors to reflect the mood. I'm not sure what the style used for the bottom 2 is called but I've always liked it in Japanese art
