Japanese Criticism - Nihon Hyoron

Japanese: 日本評論 - にほんひょうろん

Properly pronounced Nippon, this is a monthly general magazine published by Nippon Hyoronsha. It took over the volume and issue number from Keizai Orai, a general magazine launched by the same company in 1926, but changed its title from the October 1935 issue. It is in chrysanthemum format. The editor-in-chief was Murofushi Takanobu until 1943. It published controversial works such as Abe Tomoji's Kazeyuki. In 1944, due to wartime restrictions, the title was changed to Keizai Hyoron, but after Japan's defeat, the title was restored from the April 1946 issue, and it opened up new fronts with reportage that made full use of documentary techniques and "Toki no Ugoshi," which even went so far as to criticize the occupying forces' policies, and was called a new general magazine.

Japanese:

正しくは〈にっぽん〉と読み，日本評論社が発行した月刊総合雑誌。同社が1926年に創刊した総合雑誌《経済往来》を，通巻号数は引き継いで35年10月号から改題。菊判。主幹は43年まで室伏高信。阿部知二〈風雪〉などの問題作を掲載した。44年，戦時統制により《経済評論》と改題したが，敗戦後46年4月号より復題して，ドキュメンタリーの手法を駆使したルポや，占領軍政策批判にまで踏み込む〈時の動き〉などで新生面を開き，新しい総合雑誌といわれた。
