This book offers a fascinating visual journey through the nostalgic advertising world of the vibrant trading city of Osaka during the Taishō and Shōwa eras (1920s to 1980s). Alongside numerous advertising designs for all kinds of products, services, travel destinations, and entertainment, it also includes store layouts, theater reviews, and restaurant recommendations.
Although the texts are in Japanese, the countless illustrations with their boldly designed characters, vibrant colors, and original artwork are a feast for the eyes and soul, even without understanding the text. Highly recommended!
