But as I visit American antique shops several times, I also got interested in Japanese antiques like old posters or some other ads.
I bought this book in the U.S., and it includes a lot of pop culture ephemera like perfume ads, art deco matchboxes, sumo cards and much more.
They are all rare ones even Japanese people have never seen.
It is interesting for us Japanese to see Japanese designs which are loved and chosen by non-Japanese people.
Two weeks have passed since I came back temprarily to Japan, and I have already found some nice Japanese old designs at used book stores and antique shops.
It is so fun to find hidden treasures!

Hello MECO!
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in Japan itself since I started to learn English. The book you bought sounds interesting and I was surprised that such a nice book has been sold in the U.S.
Hi aya.o-ha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!
I think we Japanese have to know and be interested in Japanese design more.
Sometimes non-Japanese people know Japan better than us...
