[ Abstract ]
How did developmentalism in post-war Japan spread around the country and how did it change people’s perceptions? This paper will illustrate the process of showing the documentary color movie Sakuma Dam, which documented the construction process of the Sakuma Dam, the first-ever big scale public work project in post-war Japan. The aim of this paper is to empirically reproduce the process, through the accumulation of experiences (to see/to exhibit), in which the collective mentality stood up for development in the post-war period, which was supported by the people. Even though the documentary film regarding the development was only about 30 minutes long and not extremely dramatic, the film was shown to various people including the Emperor, bureaucrats and accounting officers at the Ministry of Finance, and entrepreneurs, young people and children in the cities and rural areas. The conclusion is that there was no existence of a simple ideological strategy in which the showing of the movie spread the creation of a developmentalistic mentality around the country. However, through the entire process, including planning, production, filming, editing, distribution, watching and critique, this one movie caused reciprocity at various levels as various actors that had interest in post-war development were given occasion to meet each other. As a result, a loose group with a collective consciousness that supported developmentalism was formed, following the chain reaction of the showing of the movie.
