Holy cuckening, just conquer a country bro.
On 27 August 1945, the first round of recruitment of women from Tokyo to work in 'comfort facilities' for U.S. occupation forces ends.
As Japan has prepared for occupation since Emperor Hirohito's announcement of surrender on 15 August, the government became deeply concerned about the potential for widespread sexual violence against Japanese women by the incoming U.S. troops, based on the experiences of how Japanese troops acted in occupied territories since the early 1930s and a military-sanctioned system of organized brothels.
Although arrangements on 18 August to create such 'comfort facilities' in most of the country were left to local officials and police departments, in the case of the Tokyo area, a different approach was taken. Nobuya Saka, Superintendent-General of the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, met with Hamajirō Miyazawa and Genjirō Nomoto, the heads of the Tokyo Restaurant Association (Tōkyō Ryōri Inshokugyō Kumiai), on 21 August and formally requested all representatives of nightclubs, bars, and brothels to establish 'comfort facilities', but to conceal the government's role as much as possible. On 23 August, these men formed the 'Special Comfort Facilities Association', now renamed the Recreation and Amusement Association (RAA).
With the RAA, the Japanese authorities aim to provide an outlet for the occupying troops by creating a controlled system of brothels, ostensibly to protect the broader Japanese population, particularly middle and upper-class women.
Although the initial intention was to recruit women already involved in the 'water trade' (a euphemism for prostitution), it quickly became apparent that there would be a need to recruit women from the general population. Carefully worded advertisements posted in front of government offices and newspapers boast generous work conditions (free accommodation, meals, and clothes) in a public service aimed at protecting Japanese women while avoiding details concerning the nature of the work.
Today, the Tokyo authorites report that approximately 1,360 women have signed up for the RAA so far.
