Made in Japan – these three simple words conjure playful wit, delightful detail, formal elegance, and graphic energy.
Collected in these pages are hundreds of images of everyday Japanese design and pop culture ephemera from the past century, including perfume ads, art deco matchboxes, robot toys, action movie posters, Noh masks, kimono patterns, sumo cards, children's books, household product packages, and much more.
The fascinating objects assembled in these colourful pages reveal traditional Japanese artistry and techniques as applied to playfully modern design.
