MEREWETHER, CHARLES AND RIKA IEZUMI HIRO (EDITORS). Stock ID: 102196 Colour and black and white illustrations, xiv + 140pp, biographies, further reading, index, board covers. "Collaborative, ephemeral, self-reflective, multi-disciplinary - the work generated by the rapid series of experimental artistic movements that energised the public sphere in postwar Japan was totally unexpected. For two decades, a small but progressive group of visual artists, musicians, dancers, theatre performers and writers confronted the legacy left behind by Japan's involvement in World War II. 'Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art' offers an introduction to this highly charged and innovative era in Japanese art. This unique volume features rare objects, books, periodicals, photographs and other ephemera created by artists associated with the various movements of the period, including the Experimental Workshop, Tokyo Fluxus, and Neo Dada."

Matchibako. Japanese Matchbox Art of the 20's and 30's.
HOHLE, MAGGIE KINSER. Stock ID: 126919 Small 60 page booklet, perfect gift. MATCHIBAKO depicts Japan's swift transformation into an industrial empire in the early 20th century, as illustrated in the infinitesimal advertisements on matchboxes from the period. In an uncertain society and its changing leisure market, matches joined cigarettes in Western-style hotels and cafes, and in sushi bars next door. Patrons might be found in Western dress or traditional kimono, debating Marx or the latest silent film, but all saw themselves reflected in the new graphism. Although most were anonymously designed, these tiny remainders alternately show the influence of Cubism and the Bauhaus in illustration and English type, and retain conventional wood block fonts and right-to-left Japanese text. This little book is a delightful collection of images from the other side of the globe. Completely illustrated in color Maggie Kinser Hohle writes extensively on the graphic arts and arts of Japan.
