This original vintage travel poster promoting Japan as a travel destination showing a photo skiers at Mt. Zao in a wonderful winter landscape often called Snow Monsters.
Photo caption: Mt. Zao, skiers' paradise in northern Japan.
Mt. Zao is famous for the “Juhyo”(ice trees) which is created by “hard lime”. Hard lime is very rare natural phenomenon due to heavy snowfall and freezing winds. The trees covered with heavy thick layers of snow look like a crowd of snow monsters!
Light edge wear, in very good condition.
