This is a poster for the 1993 Festival Culturel du Japon à Paris (Cultural Festival of Japan in Paris), a cultural event showcasing Japanese art, culture, and performance in the French capital.
Shigeo Fukuda’s poster stands out as a piece of visual communication—cleverly combining symbols of Japan (face, red sun) and France (Eiffel Tower) into a single harmonious graphic.
Design: Shigeo Fukuda

Shigeo Fukuda (福田 繁雄) was a sculptor, medallist, graphic artist and poster designer who created optical illusions. He is one of Japan's most well-known post-war graphic designers. He is known to be an environmentalist and anti-war, for he designed posters on these social issues. His art pieces usually portray deception, such as Lunch With a Helmet On, a sculpture created entirely from forks, knives, and spoons, that casts a detailed shadow of a motorcycle.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
These posters will be delivered in a cardboard backed envelope for protection.
