The fascist connection with music during WWII in European contexts has been well documented and studied in the past decades. Less attention was paid, however, to the fact that the musical link to political fascism was developed in contemporaneous Japan. This paper examines wartime Japan in their music-aesthetic discourses during the 1930s and early 1940s, focusing on the modern manifestation of “Japanese quality”(日本的なるもの)in music. In particular, this paper analyzes the characterization of the temporality of the state and the temporality in music, and explains how music and state were put on a parallel scale of time. |
