Details

A most stylish stack of correspondence. This set of 40 postcards features 20 favorite designs drawn from The Complete Commercial Artist, a dazzling Deco-era Japanese design sourcebook first published in the late 1920s. Showcasing the bold imagination of Japan’s early graphic design pioneers, the collection includes everything from jazzy modernist figures and geometric illustrations to charming radios, pens, dalmatians, and cat-shaped arches.

Featuring artwork by Sugiura Hisui, Murayama Tomoyoshi, Hamada Masuji, and other masters of the era, these postcards arrive neatly boxed and ready to mail, frame, or hoard. A delightful dose of mailable modernism for lovers of design, Deco, and good old-fashioned flair.
