Showa Era Poster Book - I love these!!

This book is awesome. It is a beautiful hardback filled with Japanese adverts from the 40's and 50's. It boasts 192 pages of imagery with an index in the back in English and an afterward on the development of posters in Japan by Natsuko Tajima. This book is excellent for anyone interested in Showa era (WWII) Japanese imagery. Rife with beautiful demure women, in tune with that period, this book is a good resource for artists and designers alike. It is appx. 7"x 10" and well bound. $65
