This is an advertisement poster for Kirin Beer, a well-known Japanese Beer brand. Tada created numerous posters for Kirin Beer since the 1920s. His works are characterized by a style that adeptly incorporates backgrounds to create a sense of depth.
This poster features a beautiful female figure. This is a traditional Japanese art genre, known as “Bijinga (美人画),” and this has long been popular for use in advertisement posters. While it features Bijinga, its style is closer to Yōga (洋画/Western-style painting) rather than Nihonga (traditional Japanese-style), as it uses the vibrant colors and realistic shading.
