POSUTĀ POSTER: Contemporary Poster Designs from Japan is a new book from Victionary that showcases poster designs from Japan's new generation of talent, spanning a wide range of categories that include political/social, advertising, experimental design and more.
From the iconic 1964 Olympics poster by Yusaku Kamekura to the psychedelic posters of Tadanori Yokoo, Japan has made its way to the forefront of impactful and effective graphic and poster design since its post-war days.
