Hardback
[EPHEMERA - Matchbox and Matchbook Covers]. A COLLECTION OF OVER 950 JAPANESE MATCHBOX AND MATCHBOOK COVERS from both the pre- and postwar period mounted in one album. These covers offer a dizzying display of Japanese graphic design of the early to mid 20th Century in miniature. The designs range from traditional ukiyo-e inspired images of geisha and samurai to sleek art deco images that advertise everything from hotels, tea rooms, bars and restaurants, to barbershops, service stations, and factories. Not just To^kyo^, but also other towns and cities all over Japan. Unlike other albums which include only the front covers, in this album, the whole box is squashed flat and included, without the inner box or matches. The squashing has rendered the boxes a bit rumpled and there is wear to the boxes throughout, but the designs are strong; the best of which give an impression of largeness despite their small size.
