Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR) developed First New Deal Policies which were often introduced even in Japan. FDR's Second New Deal had been, however, seldom referred in Japan. Arts and cultural programs in Second New Deal marked the U. S. government's first big, direct investment in arts and cultural development, initiated by Works Progress Administration (WPA); Federal Arts Project, Federal Theater Project, Federal Music Project and Federal writer's Project.
