A Book of Patriotic Movements
This poem erases Chapter 1 of the Aikoku Undo Nenkan (Yearbook of Patriotic Movements), originally published in Japanese in 1936 by the Oka Furabu (Cherry Blossom Club), a radical right-wing organization whose lieutenants supported the failed 1935 military coup. The text was digitized by the National Diet Library of Japan, which cites the United States Strategic Bombing Survey as the document’s source (and so, presumably, the source of the English translation).
