The piece
this original vintage poster announces the 1992 exhibition "japan hülle und gefäss" (japan: hull and vessel) at die neue sammlung in munich. Designed by the renowned studio mendell & oberer, the composition features a minimalist interpretation of the japanese flag set against a stark white background. A large red circle is bisected horizontally, contrasting a photorealistic crumpled paper texture on the top half with a smooth, solid red semicircle below.

- a masterclass in minimalist graphic design, seamlessly blending japanese symbolism with precise european typography.
