1972 Sapporo Winter Olympic Games, by Yusaku Kamekura
This striking poster for the 1972 Winter Olympic Games in Sapporo features a minimalist yet impactful design by Yusaku Kamekura. Dominated by a deep blue backdrop, the composition showcases Japan's red sun emblem above a white snowflake, a nod to winter sports. Below the Olympic rings, the text "SAPPORO '72" anchors the visual identity. A white geometric form resembling Mount Fuji rises from the base, symbolising Japan's natural landscapes and the event's alpine setting.
The Sapporo Winter Olympics were the first held in Asia, marking a significant milestone for both Japan and the global sporting community. Yusaku Kamekura, who had already achieved fame for his designs for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, brought his clean, modernist aesthetic to this poster. The Games coincided with Japan's economic boom, and the event underscored the nation's technological and cultural prominence. Kamekura’s work reflects both the precision of Japan's design heritage and the universal appeal of the Olympic spirit.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
