JAL commenced operations to Hong Kong in 1955, completing a Trans-Pacific route from California via Tokyo. This silk-screen poster, which uses a bright colour scheme typical of the 1950's, was JAL's first Hong Kong poster and it reinforced the importance of the sailing junk as the dominent symbol promoting Hong Kong tourism.
Scarce poster.
