...Time," the career retrospective of legendary Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto now running at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, is a portrait of Japan's controversial World War II and postwar Emperor, Hirohito. The black-and-white, 1.5 m by 1.2 m print is astonishing in its crisp detail.

...problem is that just as Japanese soldiers once dehumanized Chinese, Beijing's propaganda often paints Japanese as pure monsters. Grade school textbooks recount the callous brutality of Japanese soldiers in graphic detail, and credit the Communist Party with defeating Japan. (Another reason for Japan's surrender, it says, was the atomic bombs dropped by the U.S.) More moderate voices are silenced. A 2000 film by one of China's leading directors, Jiang Wen, remains banned because it depicted friendliness between a captured Japanese soldier and Chinese villagers. Although the film showed plenty of brutality, censors ruled that "Devils...
