Kiha66 Posted April 24, 2020 Found some fun takes on the old JGR posters! They'd look great in a train room. https://www.etsy.com/listing/601998888/explore-japan-by-rail-kaiju-tourism?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/602000124/tour-japan-kaiju-tourism-bureau-poster?ref=shop_home_active_5 https://www.etsy.com/shop/chetart?section_id=24167832 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Cat Posted April 24, 2020 We saw those earlier, and Roxanne declared she really liked the Gojira one a couple of times. So that's on order for her birthday! : 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Actually digging about a bit (looking for "鉄道省 ポスター") they seem to bear the name "○○鐵道局", i.e. the name of the regional office issuing the poster. "日本の政府鉄道" is certainly rather odd usage in that context, sounds like a literal translation by a non-native speaker (and makes it sound like the Japanese Government has a railway for its own use). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Kiha66 Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks Squid! Sounds like the artists didn't have the benefit of a native speaker (or a train fan) when making that part of the poster. Quote Share this post Link to post
