Hiroshima Appeals “Golden butterfly”

10

Koichi Sato is a japanese graphic designer and professor emeritus at Tama Art University. The Hiroshima Appeals poster features a blue gradient inspired by ukiyo-e prints and a gold background symbolizing the heavenly realm. A gold butterfly, based on early Japanese book patterns, represents resurrected souls. The text "HIROSHIMA APPEALS 2006" appears as a soul's message, and the pearl symbolizes peace and Earth. This design combines traditional Japanese art with a modern poster format.
