Exactly one year after the end of the Second World War, Junichi Nakahara launched a women’s magazine called ‘Soreiyu’ (Soleil). Nakahara described the new magazine by comparing it to a flower, appealing to readers by proclaiming, “We are all human being who like to decorate our homes with flowers!” Amid the despair and confusion after Japan’s defeat, this line expressed a desire to make it something that would help people remember their human dignity, which many had lost during wartime. Aside from articles on clothes, cosmetics, and hairstyles, it also featured cultural content that had been restricted during the war. This book is a tribute to the magazine’s legacy.
