    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This oil painting depicts the final banzai charge of Japanese soldiers against American troops during the Battle of Attu island, one of bloodiest battles in the Pacific War. The word &quot;Gyokusai&quot; in the title roughly translates to &quot;smashed jewel&quot;, and it&#039;s a reference to a 6th-century Chinese text that states &quot;it&#039;s better to be a smashed jewel than an intact tile&quot;; a proclamation on the beauty of self-sacrifice. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Unlike Fujita&#039;s other action-packed war paintings, this one is more tranquil. It shows a Japanese soldier entering the house of a luxurious Dutch-owned house in Indonesia, whose owners have tied up their black servant and abandoned her while they ran. The propagandist painting convey a message of Japanese soldiers rescuing other ethnicities from white men, and expressing a sense of moral superiority of the Japanese. Despite this, it still falls into the same tendency of Western paintings where other ethnicities and cultures are feminized and exoticized. For example, the breasts of the female is pronounced while the rifle of the soldier is placed near the figure&#039;s crotch, almost like a phallic symbol. ]]></dcterms:description>
