The Confusion Era: Art and Culture of Japan During the Allied Occupation, 1945-1952 Designer unknown, "Peace Cigarettes," 1950. Offset print, 52.2 x 37.8 cm. Tobacco and Salt Museum, Tokyo This Nihon Senbai Kosha (a government agency) poster advertising "Peace Cigarettes" carries its wishful request in both Japanese and English in what was surely a vain attempt at controlling this ubiquitous black market currency.   Caption in bottom left corner reads, "Getting the Cigarette off the Black-Market let us put a light on the culture."                   copyright 1997 by Smithsonian Institution
