FRACTURE: JAPANESE GRAPHIC DESIGN 1875-1975

The need to know names of Japanese graphic design from the late 19th century to the pre digital decade, presented alongside more than 500 color images of vintage ephemera.  Author Ian Lynam presents a survey of Japanese design across a century as told through the biographies of its most influential creators.  The chronology begins less than two decades after Japan's opening to the West, ending a 200 year isolationist policy.

Fracture functions as a visual treasure trove of Japanese ephemera while also introducing readers to the creative minds behind these formative designs.
