This original vintage travel poster from the 1970s was published by the Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO) and features the historic Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock Festival) in Kyoto, one of Japan's oldest and most celebrated annual festivals. Dating back over a thousand years, the procession is renowned for its participants in elegant Heian-period court dress, ox-drawn carts, and traditional ceremonies.
The striking photograph captures the timeless atmosphere of Kyoto's imperial heritage, promoting Japan as a destination rich in history, culture, and tradition during the golden age of international tourism.
A beautiful example of 1970s Japanese travel advertising, combining minimalist typography with vivid photography to showcase one of the country's most iconic cultural events.
