dc.description.abstract	This work draws a comparison between the academic discussion on Japanese war guilt and the 2012 motion picture Emperor, directed by Peter Webber. Said comparison takes place in the context of 2003 invasion of Iraq and nation building. It is not an attempt to compare the two occupations, but an exploration of what happened to Hirohito after the war, in fiction and historical narrative.
