Last month, I was with my colleagues in a Tachinomiya (立飲み屋:A standing bar). And I saw these posters.
All these posters are mainly advertisements for Shochu but most Izakaya (居酒屋: Traditional Japanese bars) and Japanese restaurants (especially old ones) have these type of posters for Sake and Beer too.
I find it intriguing that there is similarity among these pictures, wherever you go in Japan. As if all these posters belong to particular class of art or as if they are work of a single artist!
Faces of the models, their hairstyles and typical clothing, fuzzy colors and borderlines, specific font for text all are similar. I wonder if these posters have kind of history as well...
