It came with a collection of 18 posters published in Japan, which were banned after the end of WW2 by the general headquarters of the allied forces. It was used in Japan, before the end of WWII. This poster is depicting one of the Emperors of Japan meeting with a monk and Emperor's warriors, horses and pine trees.

When it was published? Between early 1900s and 1940s. We only can say for sure that it was used before 1945. I believe it is hard to find other copies of this poster even in Japan, because it was banned after WW2 and because of all historical events that took place in the 20th century.

I could track history of this collection in the U.S. back to 20 years ago, when it was purchased at estate sale in Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs has a large military population, and I assume it was brought to the U.S. by someone who was stationed in Japan, but these are just my speculations.

Printed on one side. Repair on back, age wear. Right top and right low corner show some of repairs made on the back side. We will pack it with care for you. Please notice: this is not a reproduction, but an original poster of a huge size and hard to find even in Japan. Mat for display only. less
