Abstract
Abstract For many societies, the First World War constituted a mediated war experience. This is also the case for Japan, which joined the Entente Powers already in August 1914, but was only marginally involved in military campaigns. For more than four years, the war was heavily covered by the Japanese mass media. It was constantly an object of interpretations and of studies as well as an entertaining spectacle. The article focuses on the way Japanese media helped to forge an indirect war experience and on studies undertaken by the Japanese Army and by the Ministry of Education. It demonstrates how they propelled certain policies to prepare for the “postwar world” and a tendency toward national mobilization even in peacetime which contributed to preparing for another war in the future
