Product description
đŸ›« Fly to Japan — Inner Garden of Heian Shrine, Kyoto – c.1965 – Original Poster by Japan Air Lines Mid‑century jet‑age advertising meets Kyoto serenity | Offset lithograph | 100.5 × 62.5 cm | Japan 🎬 Introduction A poised figure in formal kimono pauses on the stepping stones of the Heian Shrine’s inner garden, a powder‑blue wagasa catching soft light while waterlilies drift across a still pond. The composition is elegantly split: a full‑bleed color photograph above and a restrained typographic band below. In that band, “Fly to” with a tiny jet silhouette yields to the emphatic “Japan,” flanked by the JAL crane roundel and company name—an impeccable blend of photographic allure and modernist brand clarity. This Kyoto view belongs to Japan Air Lines’ mid‑1960s destination series, created as intercontinental jet travel expanded. By pairing timeless subject matter with crisp, sans‑serif typography, the poster positions JAL as confidently modern yet culturally attuned—exactly the balance that enticed Western travelers in the early jet age. ✹ Why It Matters JAL’s crane symbol and pared‑back typography telegraph corporate assurance while the image asserts continuity of place—an effective 1960s strategy as long‑haul tourism normalized. Collectors value this series for its crossover appeal: aviation history, Japanese photographic design, and postwar travel ephemera. The uncommon international export size (approx. 40 × 25 in) and the caption naming the precise site are period airline display standards that aid authentication against later reprints. For design‑minded buyers, it’s a textbook case of jet‑age persuasion where national identity, photography, and corporate mark cohere into a single, serene pitch. 📐 Poster Details - Year: c.1965 (inferred from jet‑age layout, JAL crane roundel, and type) - Country: Japan - Size: 100.5 × 62.5 cm - Format: International export format (approx. 40 × 25 in) - Studio / Publisher: Japan Air Lines (Printed in Japan)a 🔎 Condition Good vintage condition: sharp corners, vibrant colors, no creases.
