This is a 1942 Furushima Matsunosuke bird's-eye view of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, issued by King magazine to celebrate the destruction of the American battleships for a Japanese audience. Published less than three months after the attack, at the apex of Japan's wartime imperial expansion, it combines a panorama of Ford Island with an emphatically triumphalist account of Japanese naval power. The accompanying text asks readers to hang the picture nearby, remember the servicemen's sacrifices morning and evening, and cultivate confidence in ultimate victory. (more details)
