日滿如兄弟 (Japan and Manchukuo Like Brothers), Concordia Association Jinzhou leaflet

A text-only single-sheet leaflet on pink paper, in two vertical lines of large characters: 'Japan and Manchukuo are like brothers, jointly building the peace of East Asia' and 'Stress the close concord of Japan and Manchukuo and create East Asia's great glory'. 'Peace' and 'great glory' are virtue phrases with no stated content, and the kinship metaphor presents the two states' relationship as one of equals. The Concordia Association's Jinzhou headquarters is named at the foot.
