I could write essays upon essays on the links between military propaganda, orientalism and the sexualisation of women.

Western imperialism never changes

La Grande Odalisque by Ingres (1814) following ongoing French-Otoman millitary conflicts and the occupation of Egypt and Syria 1801 said to be the onset of French oriental art

Women of Algiers in their Apartment by Eugene Delacroix (1834) following the French invasion of Algeria 1830-1847

Te Arii Vahine (The King's Wife) by Gauguin (1896) following the French anexation of Tahiti in 1880

I'm sure anyone with a better knowledge of film could add many more examples of the exact same thing during the Vietnam war and all the other US invasions

Armour from Japan dated to the Early 18th Century on display at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England

This suit of armour would have been worn by Samurai and dates to the Edo period, a relatively peaceful time following the civil wars and attempted invasions of China and Korea. During this time armour became more ceremonial and ornate for higher ranking nobility with lacquered metal laced together with silk cords. The helmet of this ensemble is much older though, dating to 1560.

The armour was a gift from Yasuhito, Prince Chichibu as part of a goodwill mission from the Empire of Japan to the United Kingdom. The second son of Emperor Taishō, Chichibu and his wife, Setsuko, Princess Chichibu, attempted to foster good relations with the UK and were on good terms with the British royal family.
