A stunning compilation of over 300 images of Japanese postcards from the late 19th to early 20th century.

This book is simply superb, and you do not have to be a postcard collector to appreciate the miniature works
of art featured here - covered are history, Russo-Japanese war, artist cards, art nouveau cards, art deco
cards, comic cards, advertising cards, etc. Many of these amazing illustrations show traditional Japanese
woodblock art used to produce surprisingly Western-style images. I am completely blown-away by this book.

An absolutely stunning visual experience - words fail me!

The book itself is extremely well produced and the quality of the illustrations must surely match that of
the originals. Although it is a very recent publication, I have no hesitation in marking it as 'collectable'
in the tags field.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston must be some heap good museum - the good burghers of Boston
are very lucky...

I don't really collect Japanese postcards, but I think that I'm about to start...

A useful guide to Japanese literature. Still relevant today as Japanese lit has not progressed.

This was such an amazing little exhibit... "little" in the sense that the artwork depicted was restricted to the size of a postcard.

From the late-Meiji through the beginning of the Showa eras - a time when Japan was trying to position itself as a major player on the world stage - the postcards show both traditional and modern subjects.

The MFA has also put much of the collection online -http://www.mfa.org/master/sub.asp?key=41&subkey=837
