Urako Battlefield of Genpei - Japan original vintage poster

About the Item

Original vintage poster: Urako Battlefield of Genpei - Japan. This travel poster has information about this important island where ancient battles happened as well as other items to visit. The bottom bar along the bottom tells you the distance from various cities in Japan. The artist chop mark appears to be in the bottom right corner of this poster. This island holds the battlefield of Genpei.. The Genpei War (1180-1185 CE), also known as the Taira-Minamoto War. I believe this island is: Shimonoseki. The poster indicates that this is declared as a national treasure. The final stand-off in the Genpei War took place in the Shimonoseki Strait between Honshu and Kyushu at Dannoura where the Seto Inland Sea spills out through the narrow channel into the Japan Sea. Professional line-backed and in very fine condition, this vintage poster is ready to frame. The poster points out additional items as Akamu Shrine, Soryu Island, Kuu Hot Springs, and aquarium. The image was created with the artwork bleeding outside the black box line around the edge. Beautiful and peaceful with the boats and ships in the water represented by swirls of light greens and blues. This is a conversation as well as a historical poster. We haven't been able to locate any other copy of this poster in our search to make sure that all the names and locations are completely correct in the translation.

    Original vintage poster”. Remember Belgium, Buy Bonds Fourth Liberty Loan. Mounted on acid free archival linen. Ready to frame. Over 100 years old! This original World War 1 poste presents well, but the fold marks have been restored during the linen backing process. The occupation of Belgium was a major propaganda theme of the First World War. There were horror stories of how the civilian population was treated and, true or not, they became fodder for the persuasion machine that was created to stir up the populace for a variety of causes, most having to do with raising money via bond issues. This especially powerful and frightening image, was created by Ellsworth Young...
