Abstract

Ono Saseo was a Japanese cartoonist who was recruited as a member of the Japanese Army's Propaganda Division and sent to Java from 1942 to 1945. During his service in Indonesia, he created hundreds of artworks for both military and personal purposes. The purpose of this research is to understand Ono Saseo's views and humanistic values towards the Indonesian people. The research method used is qualitative research, examining Ono Saseo's writings and drawings to uncover the meanings contained within. Additionally, the researcher also examined the opinions of other artist who lived during the same period as Ono Saseo to gain a clearer depiction of Ono. The results of the research show that not all of Ono's drawings published in the Japanese mass media in Indonesia depict elements of Japanese foreign political conflicts against the West, but rather, most of them portray the joyful atmosphere and the harmony of the Indonesian people and Western. Ono's significant attention to the Indonesian society, natural environment, and other nations residing in Indonesia demonstrates his deep humanistic side, both as an intellectual and as a human being.

Abstract

This research aims to discover the relationship between Japanese and Indonesian intellectuals during the Japanese military occupation of Indonesia, as recorded by Asano Akira during his assignment in Indonesia in 1942. Serving as members of the Propaganda Division in Indonesia, these Japanese intellectuals had to recruit and collaborate with Indonesian intellectuals to further Japan's military objectives in the Greater East Asia War. The method used in this research is qualitative, employing textual analysis. The research reveals that Asano's interest in the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer and Okakura Tenshin on asceticism, self-denial, simplicity, and Eastern aesthetics nurtured his Eastern ideological perspectives. It was from this ideology that he eventually came to feel solidarity with his fellow Asians oppressed by Western domination. Therefore, this sense of ideology ultimately led him to establish friendships and cooperate with Indonesian intellectuals while serving in the Propaganda Division of Japanese Military Government.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of yōkai in the anime Mononoke (2007) as a visual manifestation of the characters’ psychological trauma. Unlike the portrayal of yōkai in traditional Japanese folklore—which tends to emphasize mythological or horror aspects—Mononoke reconstructs these figures as embodiments of unexpressed inner wounds such as guilt, repression, anger, and loss. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach with symbolic and narrative analysis methods, grounded in trauma theory as proposed by Cathy Caruth. The analysis reveals that yōkai in this anime function not merely as horror elements, but as media through which complex psychological conflicts are conveyed. Through symbolism, visual atmosphere, and metaphorical narrative structure, Mononoke gives voice to trauma that cannot be articulated directly. As such, the anime does not simply depict supernatural beings but serves as a reflective space that connects folklore, psychology, and visual cultural expression. This study is expected to contribute to interdisciplinary understanding across Japanese cultural studies, literary psychology, and contemporary media analysis.
