In this paper, we address the issue of literary manipulation in Japanese literature translations into English language, highlighting the power of translation as a form to create in readers’ cultural identities and domestic representations. We also bring the question of linguistic policies and their relation to literary manipulation, according to Calvet (2007), because, as we have seen, the USA used English language supremacy and political power in order to create in the readers of Japanese translated works a vision of a bucolic and friendly Japan, allied with the Americans and, no longer, a threatening force as it was before.
