Abstract
This essay examines Faulkner’s appearances as a US cultural ambassador in Nagano, Japan, in conjunction with the 1956 exhibition of The Family of Man, a collection of images curated by photographer Edward Steichen, as twin elements of US cultural diplomacy in support of the Eisenhower Administration’s Atoms for Peace initiative. Like The Family of Man, the shortfilm Impressions of Japan, which stars William Faulkner, was sponsored by the Japanese office of the US Information Service, as what Yamamoto calls “‘visual aids’ in the context of atomic diplomacy.” Carefully edited for its images and verbal content, Impressions of Japan places scenes from Faulkner’s Nagano sessions—with high school students, with academics—beneath voiceovernarration that steer their significance away from immediate geopoliticalrealities and nuclear fears toward humanistic evocations of a “multicultural world family.”
