The Matsushima松嶋 was a protected cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy that took part in both the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.
This poster uses a deep blue background, with simple lines outlining the warship, ocean waves, and a setting sun. The style reflects a vintage Japanese art aesthetic, making it a visual representation of the history and culture of Japan’s former navy.
