Red incense burner collection of Patriotic Women's Federation during the Anti-Japanese War

Lao Peng tells stories.

During the Japanese invasion of China, although the vast majority of Japanese women did not directly participate in military operations as frontline soldiers, they actively participated in Japan's rear service, production and condolences, which can be described as the backing and spiritual comfort of the Japanese army. During the war, Japanese women encouraged their husbands and children to go to the front, otherwise they would be regarded as a disgrace. There are also many women who take the initiative to be "military nurses", "military comfort women" and "women who stand up". This is a kind of comfort women in disguise, and even a few people act as female spies. They supported the war from many angles. It is pitiful and pathetic to become an accomplice of Japanese militarism in disguise.

Patriotic women's association saga county branch

? This porcelain incense burner in my collection was customized by the Saga Branch of the Japanese Patriotic Women's Association, with the words "for worship" on it and a symbol of the Patriotic Women's Association. There is an iron anchor with a red five-pointed star in the middle of the pattern. According to the analysis, it should be the symbol of "comfort women" carefully designed by the Japanese Navy. China's calligraphy is a very beautiful regular script, which absorbs the essence of China's traditional culture. It can be seen that these Japanese people still admire China's calligraphy and have coveted it for a long time. This is the charm of culture, which may be one of the reasons why the Japanese have been eyeing China. The shape is similar to that of the ancient incense burner in China, except that two lotus petals are added to the foot ring, which still shows some differences. It also shows that the Japanese have made great progress on the basis of imitating China porcelain, which fully proves from another aspect that the Japanese are perhaps the people who are most keen on collecting and studying China ceramics except China.

Detail diagram

? From the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Russo-Japanese War, the September 18th Incident to the Lugouqiao Incident, every time the Japanese government launched a war of aggression against China, people all over the country were beaten with chicken blood, almost completely in a state of fanaticism. Inspired by the Emperor's "jihad", Japanese women's martial spirit and jihad complex accumulated at the bottom of their subconscious became an irresistible temptation for their dedication. During the whole war of aggression, thousands of Japanese women were called "military mothers", "military wives", "wives of Jing State" and "military daughters". Although they can't be real soldiers, they always devote themselves to the loyalty to the emperor. 1942, "patriotic women's club" and "national defense women's club" merged into the so-called "greater Japan women's club", which finally reached an astonishing10,000,000 people, showing that it was closely related to Japanese fascist militarism. The incense burner of this patriotic women's association witnessed the crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese invaders. It is evidence that Japan launched a national war. For later generations, it is an important historical relic with irreplaceable special educational significance.
