Back story: Bill Ritchie went to Japan in 1976 on his first sabbatical from the UW School of Art. Michitaka Nakahara, an art teacher in Tokyo, and Akira Kurosaki, a designer and art professor in Kyoto were his hosts. While he was in Japan Bill collected Kiyoshi Awazu’s large rose and the smaller design, visbible in the lower right corner poster, from the previous year's Tokyo Art Festival.
