Toyo Kisen Kaisha (Oriental Steamship Company)


Toyo Kisen Kaisha (Oriental Steamship Company)

DESCRIPTION

Toyo Kisen Kabushiki Kaisha (TKK) was founded around 1896-1897 with the aim to enter the transpacific trade and three ships were ordered in Great Britain. The first of the new vessels the NIPPON MARU started the service from Yokohama to San Francisco in 1899, later followed by the AMERICA MARU and HONG KONG MARU.
Toyo Kisen Kabushiki Kaisha saw the first five years run smoothly until in 1902 Pacific Mail Steam Ship Co. introduced the steamers KOREA and SIBERIA which outclassed everything else in the Pacific Trade. About the same time the Russo Japanese War broke out and the ships of Toyo Kisen Kabushiki Kaisha were taken over for military purposes.

About the Art form

Poster art has always been a powerful form of visual communication, in addition to being a true art form of its own kind. Travel posters began being in vogue at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, particularly for advertising the tourism industry. Colonial countries such as Great Britain, France and the Netherlands organised colonial exhibitions and created new and exotic landscapes of their colonies, with bright and bold colours and creating a sense of adventure and exploration, this prompted the travellers to book trips to major destinations. Later, people wanted to visit these exotic places, and the posters started to advertise the real thing. During the late 1800s until about 1950, posters, print ads, and brochures were the most common way for travel companies and agencies to reach their customers.

CARE

 

  • Keep your prints out of direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions
  • Do not lean anything against the surface of a canvas
  • Dust your artworks with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Don't use cleaning products or water
  • Hang your artworks away from the bustling and possibly messy areas
  • For framed works with glass or acrylic, use a soft white cloth and for paintings with heavy texture or fragile surfaces, a soft white brush is better. A new, unused make-up brush would also do the trick
