Twenty-one More Ads from 1950s Japan
(Find me at 50 Watts Books.)
Here's a sequel to my previous post of 1950s Japanese ads.
1954
Seven scans come from the book 1950: Japanese Graphic Design in the '50s: The Designer Is Born (possibly still available from Amazon Japan, ISBN 9784336050755). The rest come from the great Japanese blog Retromaniagogo and its previous incarnation That's Eurobeat (source for my first post). The blogger has been scanning vintage magazine ads since August 2007 (the same month I started "A Journey Round My Skull") and he occasionally highlights illustrations too. He's well on his way to 10,000 scans.
