The US Army website posted back in 2007 a number of renderings of Japan in the immediate p0st-war period, made by Allied artists:

They contain courtroom sketches of Japanese war criminals, street scenes of daily life in bombed-out Tokyo, an odd one inside a latrine and, most creeptacularly, “Atomic Landscape (Japanese Burial Detail)” by Robert M. Graham. A much higher rez version is available at the link.

Just… dayum.
