Over the course of centuries, Japanese poster design has evolved to reflect the country's cultural, social, and technological advancements. However, a comprehensive study that traces the evolution of Japanese poster design from the Edo Period to the present, from an interdisciplinary perspective, is required. The purpose of this study was to look into the technological, sociopolitical, cultural, historical, and artistic aspects of Japanese poster design. The study used interdisciplinary methodologies to detect changes in design styles, thematic issues, and visual communication tactics throughout time. Content analysis was the main research method employed in this study, which had a qualitative research design. Both primary and secondary data, such as old posters and archival documents, were gathered and analyzed. Comparative analysis and visual analysis tools were used to identify patterns, motifs, and shifts in Japanese poster design. The study discovered that historical, cultural, sociopolitical, technological, and aesthetic factors all had a significant impact on Japanese poster design. The impact of socio-political factors at different periods, the distinctive characteristics and features of poster design during the Edo Period, the entry of Western influences during the Meiji Period, and current trends and styles in contemporary Japanese poster design were all exposed. Through the presentation of an extensive analysis from multidisciplinary perspectives, this work advanced our comprehension of the development of Japanese poster design. The results enhanced knowledge and awareness of Japanese visual culture and provided educators, cultural institutions, and designers with relevant data. The study also underlined how crucial it is to look at design history and cultural evolution utilizing interdisciplinary techniques.
