Halfsheet vintage Japanese travel
poster advertising the Toko Matsuri festival, which took place annually in Shimizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, from August 3rd to 5th. The poster was produced by the Shimizu City and Nagoya Railway Bureau.
The festival is a significant local summer event, typically featuring:

Mass Dance Event: A large-scale "Minato Kappore" or "Kappo Reggae" dance with thousands of participants on the main street.
Naval Ship Tours: Opportunities to tour a naval destroyer in the port.
Fireworks Display: A spectacular fireworks show over the water on the final night, as depicted in the poster.

The style of the poster is characteristic of Japanese travel advertisements from the mid-20th century. While similar to Japanese woodblock prints, the visual search results suggest it might be from the 1950s or 1960s.
