This colourful hikifuda (引き札), issued as an advertisement by a soy sauce brewer in Hirabayashi Village (present-day Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture), depicts a young family celebrating a Japanese victory in China. The father, dressed in military uniform, proudly holds his daughter, while his son waves the national flag. Behind them, a map of East Asia highlights Japanese-controlled areas in red, with China marked in hatching. In the sky, a fighter aircraft (most likely modelled off a Mitsubishi A5M or Nakajima Ki-27) and pilot is prominently shown. This striking image blends commercial promotion with nationalist sentiment.
