This is a Japanese propaganda poster from the World War II era, likely from 1942. It is titled "?????" (Tekito o osou), which translates to "Attacking the Enemy Capital". The poster depicts a Japanese bomber flying over a city of skyscrapers, with a Japanese flag on its tail. The city is believed to be New York City. The poster was created by Kokan Kojo and was sponsored by the Imperial Japanese Airways, the Information Bureau, and the Greater Japan Flight Association.
This type of propaganda was used to build national pride and demonstrate Japan's military capabilities. It aimed to portray Japan as a dominant power capable of striking at the heart of its enemies. Propaganda posters from this period often focused on symbols of national pride rather than on specific actions or emotions, assuming the populace was already dedicated to the nation's cause. |
