Nippon Fujin

Nippon Fujin (Japanese: 日本婦人, romanizedNihon fujin, lit.'Japanese Women') was a Japanese political magazine targeting women. The magazine was one of the best-selling magazines in the Empire of Japan during World War II. It existed between 1942 and 1945.

Nippon Fujin was started in 1942 by a women's organization, Dai Nippon Kokubo Fujinkai (Japanese: 大日本国防婦人会, romanizedDai Nihon kokubō fujin-kai, lit.'Greater Japan Defense Women's Association'). This association was a patriotic and nationalist women's organization. The first issue appeared in November 1942. The magazine was published on a monthly basis. It contained wartime nationalist propaganda material. 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. Nippon Fujin folded in January 1945 after producing twenty-four issues.
