IKKO TANAKA (1903 - 2002) SENSEI IKENOBO'S FLOWER ARRANGEMENT-MATSUZAKAYA DEPARTMENT STORE. 1974. 401/2x281/2 inches. Condition A. Signed in pencil by the artist. Silk-screen. Paper. With a traditional artistic background in textile design, Tanaka ultimately switched to graphic design. From book to logo design, interior decoration, typography and exhibition design he practiced every aspect of the field with a refined style. For years he also worked for the Seibu group for whom he supervised their global image. A lover of traditional Japan, his posters celebrated the arts and crafts of his native country in a superb modern way. This early poster is a prime example evoking traditional flower arrangement in a nearly abstract style. Kadansha.
