Description
A red and blue two-color woodblock poster on cream paper, dated 1957, combining bold Japanese calligraphy with a flat, modernist still life. A red jug holding stylized red and blue flowers sits atop a blue pedestal above a red wrought-iron-style balustrade band, flanked by large red characters reading "版画展" (print exhibition) and smaller blue text giving dates (4月18日〜5月4日), a venue (上野都美術館), and "25回" at upper left; a red band across the bottom reads "日本版画協会" (Japan Print Association). A scalloped blue-and-red striped border runs across the top edge.
