This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1964 for the promotion of Olympic Games 1964 Tokyo.

This set of posters are getting increasingly hard to find!!!

This is the first poster produced, titled: "The Rising Sun and the Olympic Emblem"

The official posters for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics, created by designer Yusaku Kamekura with contributions from photographers Osamu Hayasaki and Jo Murakoshi, were released in a series of four, starting in February 1961. These colorful, photogravure posters, highly praised for their technical quality, included:

  1. "The Rising Sun and the Olympic Emblem"
  2. "The Start of Sprinter’s Dash"
  3. "A Butterfly-Swimmer"
  4. "An Olympic Torch Runner"

The posters were widely distributed, with the first one, featuring Japan’s national flag design, being printed in 100,000 copies. Each subsequent poster featured athletes, with the second poster capturing sprinters at the National Stadium, the third showcasing a butterfly swimmer, and the final one highlighting an Olympic torch runner. These posters were distributed across Japan and internationally, helping to build excitement for the Games and received several prestigious awards, including the Milan Poster Design Award.

It is over 61 years old!

This poster is in very good / excellent condition. Please refer to the imagery (both front and back) as this is the exact poster that is for sale. 

We have provided additional imagery of the top part of the rising sun that has lightened due to sun exposure or possible printing defect. In our opinion, this makes this poster extra cool as it was actually displayed proudly for 60 years!! The frame it came in was extremely heavy and when we removed the poster, there was a rectangular shape from sunlight exposure over decades! Having said this, the colors are unusually vivid on the rest of the rising sun and lower text, therefore it must have only been the very top of the poster which was exposed to direct sunlight! It is therefore a unique find with an air of mystery to it! We have taken this tear into consideration when pricing the poster.

It is not a reproduction or a reprint.

Certificate of Authenticity included.
