# NIPPON magazine, No. 36, cover (Nippon Kobo, Tokyo, September 1944)

Cover of NIPPON no. 36: yellow ground, red masthead, and a black-and-white photograph of a shirtless young man in a white cap, arm out in a gymnastic salute. English cover lines: 'Greater East Asia Youth's Round-Table Meeting' and 'Builders of the Home Front'. The tell: mass physical drill stands for a regional youth assembly; the cover asserts a unity of peoples that the photograph does not document.
