One sheet, This is a vintage poster for Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line), a major Japanese shipping company
.
Poster Details
The poster advertises the company, which was founded in 1885 and known as the Japan Mail Steamship Co.
It features a Japanese woman in traditional attire holding a fan, standing on what appears to be a ship's deck.
In the background, a steamship is visible on the water and people are seen on the upper deck.
The design uses both traditional Japanese pictorial conventions and modern Western-style painting with its use of shading and perspective, a style often seen in vintage Japanese posters of the era.
This poster, which uses English text, was likely intended for a foreign audience to promote travel to Japan by sea. |
