A Japanese protest poster opposing nuclear weapons and testing, this work employs stark symbolism. An inverted or falling white dove with a red tear, enclosing the globe to communicate universal human suffering. Created in 1957 during rising post-war anti-nuclear sentiment, Yamashiro’s piece stands out as a clear example of activist graphic design in Japan.
