Additional Information
Created in 1937 by the Osaka-born artist Munetsugu Satomi, this travel poster for the Japanese Government Railways captures the thrill of speed. Radiating diagonal lines send the landscape streaking past as a single cherry tree tosses in the wake of a rushing train.
The railway issued it to court foreign tourists and to show a young nation racing into the future. A small national flag speaks for the country itself, pairing patriotic pride with the engineering and momentum of the modern machine age.
Satomi studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and worked briefly in the studio of Cassandre, the great French poster master. He carried that bold European style back home, becoming one of the finest designers of the interwar years.
Today this artwork stands as a testament to the golden age of travel and offers a window into a confident, fast-changing Japan on the edge of a new era. Its clean geometry and rich color make a prized addition to a study, office, or den.
