Cabinet Intelligence Bureau (内閣情報部)
The Cabinet Intelligence Bureau (内閣情報部; 1936 - 1945), initially the Cabinet Intelligence Committee (内閣情報委員会) and later Cabinet Intelligence Ministry (内閣情報部), was a propaganda office designed to build support among the public for Japan's widening war in China and East Asia. It was headed by leading Japanese journalists and politicians, and its publications were quite popular within the highly restricted mediascape of wartime Japan. Its hundreds of publications helped to popularize strident militarism, for instance, promoting the idea of a Holy War for the Reconstruction of Asia (アジア再建の聖戦), to cite the name of a 1937 publication. Aside from distributing propaganda, the office also had censorship and information gathering duties.
