Halfsheet vintage travel poster, estimated to be from the 1950s, advertises the Oniiwa Park and Oniiwa Onsen (hot springs) resort in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
The poster highlights several key attractions in the area:
Oniiwa Park: Known for its granite rock formations and local legends, including the story of a demon named Seki no Tar?. Visitors can see various unique rock formations, such as "Taro Rock" and "Oni's Blade Rock".
Oniiwa Onsen: These mineral springs are advertised for their therapeutic benefits and as a place for rest and relaxation.
Kan Yakushi Temple: The poster mentions this temple as housing 24 Buddha statues created by the famous sculptor Unkei, which are designated as National Treasures.
Accessibility: The poster provides directions from nearby train stations, noting that the park is a 2-minute walk from Mitake Station, and the onsen is a 20-minute bus ride from the same station.
The design uses vibrant colors and the Art Deco style popular in travel posters of that era. |
