Japanese Pagoda with Deer in Warm Yellow

An orange-red pagoda with tiered roofs forms the centrepiece of this travel illustration. Dark branches frame the building, while two spotted deer stand beside a tall tree trunk at the bottom. Pale clusters of blossom and green foliage soften the strong contrast with the yellow background. The text ‘Japan Tourist Bureau’ and visible fold lines enhance the character of an old travel poster. The interplay of architecture, nature and decorative lettering makes this an atmospheric accent for a living room, hallway or study, for example in a mid-century interior.
