Nippon Fujin

Nippon Fujin was started in 1942 by a women's organization, Dai Nippon Kokubo Fujinkai (Japanese: 大日本国防婦人会, romanized: Dai Nihon kokubō fujin-kai, lit. 'Greater Japan Defense Women's Association').^[3][4] This association was a patriotic and nationalist women's organization.^[5] The first issue appeared in November 1942.^[6] The magazine was published on a monthly basis.^[3] It contained wartime nationalist propaganda material.^[4] German historian Andrea Germer [de] argues that visual propaganda materials included in Nippon Fujin are closely similar to those in NS-Frauen-Warte, a periodical targeting women in Nazi Germany.^[7] Nippon Fujin folded in January 1945 after producing twenty-four issues.^[4][6]
