This poster ad is for Nikke coat.  A man is sitting in the sky with his legs crossed smoking a cigar. This ad by Gihachiro Okayama stands out because the man in the photo is wearing red accessories including red lipstick. Gihachiro Okayama helped provide hanga artists access to production during the World War 2.
