Nippon Fujin ( Japanese: 日本婦人, romanized: Japanese Women) was a Japanese political magazine targeting women. [1] The magazine was one of the best-selling magazines during World War II in Japan. [2] It existed between 1942 and 1945.
Nippon Fujin was started in 1942 by a women's organization, Dai Nippon Kokubo Fujinkai (Japanese: Greater Japan Women Association). [3] [4] The 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 nationalist propaganda material during the wartime. [4] German historian Andrea Germer argues that visual propaganda materials included in Nippon Fujin are closely similar to those in Frauen Warte, one of the Nazi periodicals targeting women. [7] Nippon Fujin folded in January 1945 after producing twenty-four issues. [4] [6]
