This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

The Big Dipper Constellation and a bright Japanese paper lantern entice guests to the Sakai Oouo Yoichi Festival, or the Sakai Big Fish Night Market, a 700 year old event. Sakai is a port and a merchant city just south of Osaka, on Osaka Bay. The tradition stems from local fishermen’s ceremony of offering fish to the gods with some “leftovers” shared with the town folks afterward.
