This Japanese designer made bold posters in the late 1900s that blend tradition with modern shapes. One is the 1981 Nihon Buyo poster, a swirling dance of flat reds and blacks that turns a classic stage art into a graphic hit. The clean lines and flat colors belong to Japan’s 20th-century poster movement. Want to see more? Tap “Nihon Buyo.”
