The Nippon Design Center Tokio Tokyo Graphics Exhibition Wuppertal
Original vintage poster published to promote an exhibition of Japanese advertising graphics entitled The Nippon Design Center Tokio at the University of Wuppertal School of Art in Germany from 15 November to 15 December 1965. Striking black and white graphic design featuring a pen dividing the composition in two with the upper half partially showing a hand with the fingers held together by string and the lower half displaying a pattern of grey dots, the title of the exhibition on the pen and stamp style information text on the fingers are in shades of red and the Japanese calligraphic text is stylised like a paper tear in black above. The Nippon Design Center NDC was formed in 1959 "to further develop and improve the quality of advertising design in Japan" with the backing of Asahi Breweries, Asahi Kasei, Nippon Steel, Toshiba, Toyota Motor, Nikon, NKK and Nomura Securities. The Werkkunstschule (previously the School of Arts and Crafts since 1896) was formed by the School of Applied Arts and Institute of Industrial Design in 1949, forming the Higher Technical School for the Graphic Arts Industry in 1963; in 1972 the engineering, textile and graphics schools were brought together to form the new Bergische Universitat Wuppertal / University of Wuppertal. Very good condition, folded as issued.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
