Photograph 11 - 16. Anti-Japanese Propaganda.
War propaganda played a large role in increasing the hatred of the Japanese in Canada. They were depicted as figures of evil and violence, often using Japanese stereotypes for further exaggerations such as with broken English, bloody Japanese daggers, buck teeth, and fangs. Caricatures of Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese general, were often used as the subjects of these posters, such as with his iconic round glasses, small eyes, and aggressive facial expressions.
