Additional Information
In 1936, the Japanese artist Mune Satomi made this poster, titled Orient Calls, to promote travel across East Asia. Emblems of the region's nations circle the design, with an ocean liner and an airplane below to show how the visitor might arrive.
Satomi was a designer who spent years in Paris, blending the European moderne style with motifs from home. Here he reduced a whole continent to a ring of neat symbols, the kind of slick shorthand that made his travel posters memorable.
The poster came out of a 1936 push to draw tourists to Japan and its neighbors, an effort tied to Japan's expanding reach across the region. It sold a placid, orderly Asia, smoothing over the tensions that would soon break into war.
Today this poster stands as a testament to the classic era of Art Deco travel design and offers a window into the way 1930s Asia was packaged for the world. Its lacquer colors and trim symmetry make it a prized feature for a study, office, or hall.
