Inoue was active as a painter since before the war, pursuing pure painting in landscape along the line of Cezanne's theories and also producing works that quietly protested the war such as "Drifting Hopelessly on the Sea" (1943), which depicted Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific. His perceptive eye, which once captured the the human evil and the dark workings in the hidden aspects of history, was later turned to politics to produce a series of caricatures that feature ugly, droll figures drawn in vigorous lines with a distinctive humor. In this work which precedes that phase of his career, the gloomy colors and the expressionless faces of the figures eloquently convey the solemnity of the events that dominated the period, the defeat in war and the conviction of the war criminals.
