Kirin Beer Poster (キリンビール)

10

Poster made for Kirin Brewery by Tada Hokuu in 1937.

The poster depicts a party or gathering of people in business attire, but without too much detail on the actual people, but rather putting them in a soft, warm light with a woman holding a glass of beer. There is a highlighted bottle of beer in the foreground with Japanese and English writing of “Kirin Beer”, both having a cool blue tone surrounding them.
