Author: Yoshiyuki Morioka182 × 257 mm224 pages (Full color)Hardcover with JacketJapanese3,800 yenISBN: 978-4-86100-826-9October 2012

In this book 100 propaganda books, published between 1931 and 1972, are introduced. The front cover and middle page of each magazine is introduced by year along with a brief overview. By “propaganda books” we mean such books promoting political, military and cultural ideas as is represented by the magazines NIPPON (Nihon Kobou) and FRONT (Tohosha). Also included in these 100 books is tourist guides, export product catalogues, world fair catalogues and Olympic brochures. In such “propaganda books” published by the government or large companies generous budgets were provided for such publications. Accordingly, many persons who have contributed greatly to the history of Japanese photography and graphic design are introduced. (For example in NIPPON such persons as; Yonosuke Natori, Takashi Kono, Fumio Yamana, Yusaku Kamekura, Goro Kumada, Ken Domon and Shihachi Fujimoto. In FRONT such persons as; Tatsuo Hayashi, Hiromu Hara, Seiichi Tagawa, Ihei Kimura, Yoshio Watanabe and Hiroshi Hamaya). As a result, by looking at the graphics in these books one can see how the world currents in graphics have been arranged to form a unique Japanese modernism. A look at the news photos and advertisements in these books vividly illustrates Japan’s evolution over this time span. The people who lived, the cities that existed and the thoughts that were prevalent at that time are all extensively recorded. Even though time has passed the vitality of these times can still be felt.

This book focuses on one aspect of such values, i.e. Tsutsumu ( wrapping ), a profound and beautiful expression of Wa.

The main part of this book looks at eight people-three designers, a graphic designer, a nailist, an artist, a photographer and a stylist-who are into minerals and into showing their inspiring interiors. The other sections of the book contain many interesting visual images for mineral fans and information about how to get minerals.
