Japan's Censored Media

Forbidden Books comes up with a second Action Project, and this one is all about censorship. From a set selection, we were to choose one of the multiple historical events that happened in another country, countries like Brazil, Greece, Germany, and China, as well as plenty of others. Overall in this unit (unit 2, just to clarify), we went over dogmas, strong beliefs that can't necessarily be proven or disproven. Some examples of dogmas are including within some teachings of certain religions. Later in the unit, we went over how censorship comes in all forms when relating to censored content. I myself chose the Japan~Yokohama Mainichi instance where the Japanese newspapers were censored. During the making of this Action Project, it was tough to search for the right source material; at first, it was all scattered, with only slight references and hint to the Yokohama Mainichi censorship issues, but luckily enough, Wikipedia lists its sources and I was able to research using those (which you can see sited in the presentation down below.   More information is shown in the slideshow below, and I hope you enjoy.
