Silk Japanese surrender news article

I acquired this a few years ago at a yard sale along with a nice VJ Day pin for $2 and I just got around to putting it in a nice frame. It appears to be a copy of the Selma Times front page showing the surrender of the Japanese on silk and it shows all the major areas and cities throughout Japan. Has anyone else come across something like this in their travels?

I picked up a similar one recently except across the top it reads "Nippon Times". It's about 16 1/2 " square and made of silk. The one I have also has an American flag, a British flag and an Australian flag, Otherwise very similar.
