This print was published in Japan by the Japanese Government Railways. Acting as a tourism advertisement, two scenes of Japan's natural world are shown, both in the winter and the summer. The illustration style is distinct of Japanese art. This lovely print is sure to inspire travel in the hearts of all. The winter scene is a separate print that can be removed and added, which is a rare feature of posters.
