About Project
This web site on Kamikaze Images started in 2004 as the final project for
my MA in Liberal Studies degree from Wesleyan University. My degree
concentration was Computerized Communications, so this final project
involved the creation of an academic web site. The following web pages

Kamikaze Images:
- Site Design - discusses organization,
hypertext, navigation, layout, color, and graphics

how technology played a part in project research and web site design,
including JavaScript menu, cascading style sheets, site search, and
acquisition of source materials
- 2004 Japan Trip - gives highlights of
2004 trip to visit museums and to meet former kamikaze corps members
- Kamikaze Images and Friendship Dolls -
describes parallels in topics of my two web sites and similarities in
research methods used to create the sites
- Acknowledgments - gives recognition and
thanks to the many people and organizations who provided assistance for this
web site
- Photo Credits - lists sources of photos
used on this web site

additions to web site
