    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compared to Miyamoto&#039;s many war paintings, Hunger and Thirst is special in many ways. First, it wasn&#039;t commissioned by the military nor is it based on any specific military event or photograph. Miyamoto&#039;s conception for this painting came purely from this own imagination. Secondly, and most apparent, this painting does not portray a glorious subject. It shows an injured and downtrodden Japanese soldier surprised and horrified by his own face reflected from a puddle. Other than highlighting the horrors of war, this painting also depicts the dilemma of Japanese people trying to find their ideal self-identity in a caucasian-centered world. ]]></dcterms:description>
