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.
[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.
