Once you have entered “the grave” you are presented with an image of rubble that is made partially out of words.  Complicating the narrative, the words “Days of the Imperial appear over the rubble/words, and the reader is presented with two possible directions “Think of this site as a grave” and “japan in world war ll.” The “grave” link presents a seemingly detached thumbnail overview of WWII, which it then connects, through a separate link, to an overview of the effects of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Japan’s military strategy. The effect of the reading is like that of reading a high school history text book-the reader is detached from the text-the only thing still connecting them at this point is the visual ruble. Navigating down the page, one may click on the link “japan in wwll” which illustrates, with its broken language and punctuation, that Japan is already vulnerable at this point in the narratoligical structure of the site. The text is giving us physical clues in a way that sharply contrasts to the cold structure of the “grave” link before it.
