Cinema – Shochikuza News, II-VII, Osaka, c.1925

‘The Shochikuza Theatre opened in Osaka in 1923 and was the first dedicated to screening foreign films. During the inter-war period, the theatre became a symbol of modernism and hope, and the Shochikuza News – the theatres pamphlet which highlighted upcoming films – evidences the modern graphic design of the young, now unknown, artists.’
