EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Japan's Miho Peninsula during the summer of 1933. The image showcases the Nagoya Rail Agency, a vital transport hub in Nagoya, with its bustling railway system depicted in stunning detail. The artwork, created by Nakayama Taiyodo in 1922, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Miho no Matsubara, known for its breathtaking scenery and seven-kilometer shoreline adorned with majestic pine trees, serves as the backdrop for this picturesque snapshot. This enchanting location holds great cultural significance as it is intertwined with the legend that inspired the renowned Noh drama Hagoromo. Every second Saturday and Sunday of October, Shizuoka City pays homage to this legend through the Hagoromo Festival where a mesmerizing performance takes place near the legendary pine tree. In 2013, these iconic pine groves were rightfully recognized as part of Fujisan Cultural Site on UNESCO's World Heritage List. This recognition further solidifies their historical importance and preserves their beauty for generations to come. The poster art featured here not only showcases Japan's rich history but also highlights political propaganda prevalent during that era. It stands as a testament to how art was used as a powerful tool for advertising and shaping public opinion. This remarkable piece from Pictures From History/Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back in time to experience both the natural splendor and cultural heritage of Miho Peninsula while offering glimpses into Japan's fascinating past.
