This set of 40 postcards features 20 favorite designs from a spectacular sourcebook of Deco-era Japanese design. Launched in the late 1920s, The Complete Commercial Artist (Gendai shōgyō bijutsu zenshū 現代商業美術全集) showcased work by Japan’s early design visionaries in 24 volumes discussing posters, window displays, lighted signs and more. The colorful selections featured in this stationery set include a dashing dalmatian and handsome hat rack, as well as designs for radios and pens, adorable cat-shaped arches, geometric character designs and modernist illustrations with jazz performers and bob-haired women prepping for a night on the town. With artwork by Sugiura Hisui 杉浦非水, Tada Hokuu 多田北烏, Hamada Masuji 濱田増治, Fujisawa Tatsuo 藤澤龍雄, Murayama Tomoyoshi 村山知義, Ishimoto Kikuji 石本喜久治, and other leading graphic artists of the era, these retro postcards deliver a pop of mailable moderne in a keepsake box.
