The outbreak of the war not only changes the national politics and economy,but also has a great influence on literature of a period.In the traditional field of history and literature,researchers paid more attention to the relationship between war and men,but during the war years,women consciously or unconsciously were also connected with war.As a initiator and defeated country in the World War II,Japanese female writers wrote novels about war topics from a unique perspective of women after the war.They put the Japanese in the struggle for sin and conscience and rethought the Japanese sense of guilt in their works.At present,analyzing the view of Japanese women writers on war can better understand the Japanese attitude towards war and the importance of calling for peace in the new era.The article divides Japan into three stages after the war:40-50s,60-90s and after the 21st century.The article selects representative Japanese female writers and their works.By analyzing these works,we can get the view of Japanese female writers on the war.The article is made up of five parts,consisting of an introduction,three chapters,and a conclusions.The introduction begins by explaining that women in war are not only victims,they also play a role in assisting the battle.Then the paper defines the basis for the selection of Japanese female writers.Finally,the introduction summarizes domestic and foreign research status,as well as the significance and thinking of the article.The first chapter mainly analyzes that the urban landscape and life scenes shown by Japanese female writers in the post-war years were ruined.Based on the traumatic theory,the paper analyzes the physical and mental damage caused by the war to the Japanese.Most Japanese female writers and male writers share the same national sentiment,so they have the same view.In their works,they focus on the injuries suffered by Japan and its citizens in the war,highlighting their suffering and trauma.The second chapter analyzes the characteristic expression and political views of Japanese female writers from the perspective of women.They express their reflection on war by shaping female images with distinctive personality.They are not only opposed to war,but more concerned about the fate of women after the war.Female writers of the Communist Party combine opposition to war,resistance to militarism,and attention to survival of women.However,it should be noted that both left-wing female writers and non-left-wing female writers have their own limitations in reflecting on war.The third chapter analyzes introspection of female writers on war in the realistic society,and concludes that different female writers have different memories of war.Some female writers strove to restore the truth of history,tried to reflect on the war from an objective perspective.They wanted readers or future generations to stop the war after they understood the truth of history.The other writers gone with the stream in society.They were constantly used by national politicians and have been influenced by social trends of thought.Therefore,in their works,the Japanese's memory of war was reshaped,and the responsibility for war was dispelled in order to achieve the inner peace longing.The conclusion part points out that the Japanese female writers'view of war and the social significance of their works.In a word,their reflection on war is still difficult to get out of the position of"Japanese citizens",so their reflection lacks a certain objectivity.In addition,by comparing the differences between Japan,Germany,and France in investigating war responsibilities.I hope that Japanese can face and reflect on history,and awaken the younger generation of Japan's war responsibility consciousness.All countries in the world are moving towards a more peaceful and beautiful future.
