🚬 RARE PREWAR JAPANESE Tobacco MONOPOLY POSTER — SHIKISHIMA CIGARETTES 🇯🇵

An authentic advertising poster issued by Japan's Tobacco Monopoly Bureau

(専売局) before WWII, promoting "Shikishima" (敷嶋) brand cigarettes.

✨ Vivid Art Deco-style graphic design featuring a hand holding a lit cigarette

with rising smoke, alongside two illustrated Shikishima cigarette boxes

(desktop-use / gift-use packaging variants shown in the artwork).

📏 LARGE FORMAT — this oversized size is genuinely rare to find surviving

in this condition; most examples of this era did not survive at this scale.

📐 Size: approx. 62.5cm (H) x 30.5cm (W)

⚠️ Condition: exact year unknown, dated stylistically to the prewar Showa era. Please note

there is partial restoration/repair to the paper (see photos). Given its

age and rarity, this is sold as a historical collectible, not mint paper.

🏺 A fantastic piece for collectors of Japanese Showa-era ephemera, Tobacco

memorabilia, WWII-era Japanese advertising, or Art Deco graphic design.

📦 Carefully rolled and shipped in a sturdy tube to protect the paper in transit.

Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the item description.
