Japanese Travel Poster Exhibition
We are pleased to announce that a selection of our original vintage Japanese posters will be on loan for this exhibition at the Embassy of Japan from 10 October to the end of December. Last opening dates during the holiday period: 27 and 28 December.
Tuesday 5 December: We will be giving a talk at the Embassy from 4-5pm to accompany this exhibition. Places are limited; click here to sign up and for more information.
"Wanderlust — Travel Japan Through Vintage Posters offers a glimpse into a past that resonates with the present.
The posters encapsulate the allure of a nation poised to share its treasures with the world. Evocative in their design, they embody the spirit of exploration, and beckon their viewers to immerse themselves in the intricacies of each site's unique history and identity.
The exhibition showcases posters from the late 1930s to the late 1960s accompanied by signature objects from the Embassy collection that tell a story about the uniqueness of each Japanese region's tradition, culture, and tourism sites."
