From the latter half of the 1960s into the first half of the ’80s, Japanese theater was led by the experimental and often controversial angura (Underground) theater movement. The posters for the plays of this “Underground” theater movement were often designed by a group of young artists such as Tadanori Yokoo, Kiyoshi Awazu and Akira Uno, who would go on to become some of Japan’s leading artists of their generation. Their works, employing modes of expression inseparable from the theatrical works that inspired them, would revolutionize graphic design in Japan. As a collector and preserver of these posters, without which no discussion of contemporary Japanese Theater can be complete, Hiroyuki Sasame, the representative of Poster Hari’s Company, has undertaken a project to collect, preserve and exhibit the posters.
