Heavily influenced by Western styles and fashions of the 20's and '30s Japanese graphic designers drew inspiration from Europe's master artists and typographers, enthusiastically importing and assimilating elements of Bauhaus, Constructivism, and Futurism. With striking illustrations of posters, brochures, and match-box labels and more, this singular volume offers a scintillating look at modern Japanese graphic design.
