This is a hybrid of posters from Pink Tentacle and East-Asian History net.
The first two posters are from East-Asian History net and I highly recommend that you click the link and go see the great article (complete with tons of cool posters) showing how nationalism was also used to sell cigarettes, alcohol and virility. It's highly recommended! See it here: East-Asian History net (Also good to get an idea about why anti-Chinese demonstrations are unproductive! And why stupid people shouldn't have children!)
Another of my favorite sites, Pink Tentacle, also has more posters at their page. Pink Tentacle has a display of posters from the 1890's to 1954. And it is called, "Addictive Ads." See it here.

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
