Elephant & Globe

A powerfully drawn elephant—its body fused with a meridian-lined globe—charges across a scarlet field with sunrise rays. Heavy black banners read SAFETY MATCHES at top and MADE IN KOBE, JAPAN at bottom; the left gutter carries KAISUISHA (as printed on the label). Bold wood‑engraving–style hatching, a diagonal pose, and tight double borders give it that high‑impact look typical of early‑20th‑century Japanese export match labels.

Sizes & border

Offered in multiple horizontal sizes (see options). To preserve the original match‑label proportions without cropping, we add a white border of ~0.5–1 inch around the image. The exact border varies by size to keep the full artwork visible. Dimensions listed refer to total sheet size; the printed image area is smaller due to the border.
