But has it always been like this? Let's see what Japanese advertising of cigarettes and alcohol looked like in 1894-1954. Some posters look very adequate, but, of course, there were some oddities.
But let's start with the story. Up until the end of World War II, Japanese advertising had several characteristic features. Despite the "trend of the West", the Japanese did not abandon the style of traditional engravings. After all, traditions are first of all. Also, the advertisement was full of military images.
The military mood is explained by the victories in the wars against China and Of Russia. This is emphasized by soldiers in cigarette advertisements and girls with armor in their hands. And, anyway, it was not without orientation to Western trends. Latin inscriptions and drawings began to appear, which in fact are copies of the works of the Czech artist Alphonse Muhe.
