No valid claim for usage of a high-res image, no valid source. Japanese copyright law is 50 years after author's death. If this is actually from 1940, it could very well still be protected. Bueller 007 (talk) 08:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Although I agree with you that the user clearly doesn't know how to use Wikimedia Commons (watermarks! OMG! etc), you are mistaken about Japanese copyright: According to Japanese Copyright Law the copyright on this work has expired and is as such public domain . According to articles 51 and 57 of the copyright laws of Japan, under the jurisdiction of the Government of Japan all non-photographic works enter the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator (there being multiple creators, the creator who dies last) or 50 years after publication for anonymous or pseudonymous authors or for works whose copyright holder is an organization. Clearly the image in question is thus copyright free. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 14:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
