whoops, 1974. it’s always the simple math that trips me up.

Yeah, Zenkoku Shokuju-sai = National Treeplanting Festival.

The date, though, is Showa 49, the 49th year of the Showa Emperor, Hirohito’s reign, which was 1975.

Just going off of my broken chinese here. The bottom line is approximately:

[artists name]/25th annual national tree planting day poster.

I think.

There is also a date on the bottom of May 1949, if that is helpful. I can’t say what it means though.
