In 1949 Australian author Hal Porter joined the Australian Army Education Unit in occupied Japan, he was at the time well disposed towards Japan and his the novel A Handful of Pennies came to be written as a result of his experiences there. However on returning to Japan in 1967 his attitude changed and in this book The Actors (1968), and another short story collection, Mr Butterfry and Other Tales of New Japan (1970) his strongly anti-Japanese views are expressed.
