Twenty-one More Ads from 1950s Japan

Here's a sequel to my previous post of 1950s Japanese ads. 1954 Seven scans come from the book 1950: Japanese Graphic Design in the '50s: The Designer Is Born (possibly still available from Amazon Japan, ISBN 9784336050755). The rest come from the great Japanese blog Retromaniagogo and its previous incarnation That's Eurobeat (source for my first post). The blogger has been scanning vintage magazine ads since August 2007 (the same month I started "A Journey Round My Skull") and he occasionally highlights illustrations too. He's well on his way to 10,000 scans. 1954 1951 1954 1955 1957 1957 1952 1953, Toyo Rayon ad by Ryuichi Yamashiro 1956 1957 1951 1954, designed by Tadashi Ohashi These two are probably magazine covers 1955, designed by Tadashi Ohashi 1954 1954 1957 1950 1958 1957 1956 Previously: a post of 1950s ads from the same resource See all posts tagged Japan on 50 Watts
