Qantas — Japan (c. 1950)

A luminous slice of mid-century wanderlust. This faithful reproduction of Qantas’ Japan poster—created in association with BOAC and Tasman Empire Airways—bottles the optimism of early post-war travel in vibrant pinks, delicate motifs, and confident typography.

Why it captivates

Mid-century charm — bold colour gradient, clean layout, and playful illustration.
Cultural motifs — kimono figure, peacock plume, shell and blossom accents.
Airline heritage — early Qantas international branding with partner carriers.
Display power — warm magenta tones that pop on paper or canvas.

What you’ll see

A stylised figure in kimono strides across a rose-to-magenta field, flanked by a peacock feather swirl, conch shell, and cherry blossoms. Overhead, a tiny aircraft sketches a silver line across the sky. The word JAPAN crowns the design; QANTAS anchors it in bold type.
