About This Item
Tokyo: Asahi Shimbun Publishing Company, 1961. First Edition. Stiff illustrated wrappers. Very Good. Folio. Pp. 403. Lavishly illustrated: black & white and color photo reproductions, display advertising, metallic inks, coated and uncoated papers, one mylar overlay. Stiff laminated paper color photo illustrated wraps, perfect bound. In English. Cover edges minimally delaminated, scuffs and mellowed creases, leaves crisp and bright, binding tight. Published annually from 1954 to 1971 with substantial articles and iconography on Japanese arts and culture, supported by industrial advertisers. Indeed, the ads speak volumes about mid-20th-century Japan, offering a bewildering array of design elements and innovations. A splendid production.
