Hikifuda. - [Natori-gawa Shoyu Hatsubai-Moto].

Title: [Natori-gawa Shoyu Hatsubai-Moto].
Description: n.p. [190-?]. Colour lithograph 52x39cm. A bit creased or rumpled with a couple of closed marginal tears; a pretty good copy. ¶ I presumed this exquisite modern young woman was advertising kimono silk and perhaps she does in other examples of this advertising handbill cum poster. These things were usually produced with a blank space for a business to print, sometimes write in, their products and details. Here, she is advertising a Natori-gawa soy sauce distributor. Natori-gawa is the river near Sendai in north east Honshu.

Keywords: graphic art advertising hikifuda Japan c20th modernism textiles fashion costume telephones
