History
Hope is a long-selling product familiar with the names of "Short Hope" and "Shoppo" (it is the official product name to put the number of entries per package in parentheses). There was a Hope brand with a similar name which was introduced in 1931 and existed until September 1940, after Emperor Hirohito forbade any foreign-named brands, Hope was relaunched in 1957, but it is not related to the pre-war Hope.[3] It is the counterpart to Peace cigarettes[4][5][6]
