This study deals with the intentions and the executions of health campaigns and their influence on the labor culture during the Asia-Pacific wartime. The Japanese Empire developed a health movement to secure military power and labor force to mobilize in the war as a device to wage it. During wartime, the health movement focuses on preventive measures against epidemics rather than prevention. Workers" health care was closely linked with the labor structure in the wartime and was used as part of labor management. The labor structure during wartime is characterized by collective forced mobilization and group living. Group residence and severe labor intensity of mobilized workers were the factor the workers were more exposed to disease. Physical training was periodically performed in the workplace under the pretext of health promotion, but it was instead a training to thoroughly consistent control the workers living in group and make them obey the orders and was a part of making body functions needed for the work. Clean campaigns for disease prevention were also used as part of labor control.
During the war, Health discourse is characterized by the fact that individual body is fully placed under the control of state power. Preserving a healthy body is considered as a duty to the nation. Diseases, especially epidemics, have been associated to war situations and, as a result of public health, have become the basis reason for state power to control the individual"s body at any time. Worker health control is not only a control of the workplace and everyday life, but also the control of sexuality. In order to prevent the resistance of the mobilized workers and to maintain the productivity improvement, the Japanese empire and the capital side helped to promote the "sex trade" by "corporate brothels".
