Content: This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. The leaflet has an illustration of a Japanese family trying to fight with a farming tool and a bamboo spear.

It stresses that unconditional surrender is the only way left for the Japanese people.
