This article examines cartoons reflecting rural North China created by Chinese collaborationist artists during the Second Sino-Japanese War. I argue that these cartoons showcased a transition in the discourse of rural modernisation. I examine the image of Japanese-occupied rural North China from the perspectives of cultural history and visual culture studies. Analysing cartoons by northern Chinese collaborationist cartoonists, I delineate the transformation of the image of rural North China before and after 1937 and present the process in which rural North China was reconceptualised, reshaped, and visualised by pro-Japanese propaganda after 1937.
