Alfred Hussey Collection: Japan's Constitution Slides
The Alfred Hussey Collection: Japan's Constitution Slides collection contains a set of slides commemorating the enactment of Japan's
constitution. They are housed in the Asia Library at the University of Michigan. The slides are in Japanese and include drawings, colored
cartoons, and images of the scales of justice with citizens. They were part of the effort to popularize the constitution. The slides show the
educational purpose of the Committee for the Popularization of the Constitution (Kenpo Fukyu Kai) and explained what the new constitution
accomplished as it was an entirely new concept to Japanese citizens accustomed to the absolute authority of an emperor. The slides were a
gift from Alfred Hussey. Hussey was an attorney and an American officer during World War II. At the end of the war, he was sent to Japan
as an officer. In that capacity (and as one with legal expertise) he was directed to assist with writing a draft for the new Japanese
constitution. Japanese law treats the slides as government works and thus they are in the public domain.
