A bold original Alitalia 'Tokyo' travel poster from the late 1960s–70s, this piece captures Japan through a calm, stylised moment – a geisha figure delicately holding a cup of tea, rendered in striking red-on-orange tones. Rather than realism, it leans into mood and graphic simplicity, reflecting the era’s shift toward modern, design-led travel advertising. A strong example of mid-century airline poster design, where culture is distilled into a single, elegant image.
