What it is
A 1914 lithograph poster announcing the completion of the Mitsukoshi kimono store's new building.
Why it matters
Sugiura was the store's design chief, so the opening of its new building came to his desk.
What to notice
The date on the file is Taishō 3, which is 1914, the same year as his spring pattern show poster.
A shop announcing itself as architecture.
