NO MORE WAR poster

NO MORE WAR is a screenprint by Japanese graphic designer Keiichi Tanaami, made and published in 1967 in Tokyo as part of a collection of 30 prints. Its imagery consists of psychodelic patterns, frame-within-a-frame composition with the heavy usage of rippling stripes of hot pink, lime, orange, and electric blue, patterns, shapes, and figures. The words "NO MORE WAR" are in bold red block letters across the center of this design.

Tanaami made this poster during the Vietnam War era, drawing on Pop Art, psychedelia, and Japanese graphic traditions. He grew up in Tokyo during the wartime bombings, and that experience shaped his recurring themes of war, memory, and surrealism. The piece shows how the bright, optimistic visual language of the 1960s  and carries an anti-war message, and it helped establish Tanaami as a leading figure in Japanese psychedelic and Pop graphic design. It also reflects an exchange between Japanese and Western poster culture in the late 1960s.
