Kurozumi worked for the Osaka National Railways in the 1930s, designing at least four or five posters for the company. The small number of his posters that have surfaced are classic Art Deco images. The simple, bold, stylized designs reflect his ability to give the "illusion of modernization through the use of ideographic forms" (Fraser p. 63). L'Affiche Art Deco p. 109.
