RAISING THE JAPANESE YEN. - The Tokyo weekly journal, “Shukan Yomiuri,” printed this picture as an ironic comment on United States pressure on Japan to appreciate its currency. The illustration was inspired by the famous photograph showing American Marines hoisting the United States flag on Mount Suribachi when they captured Iwo Jima from the Japanese in 1948; the "Shukan Yomiuri” has substituted a 10,000 yen banknote for the flag.
