Japan: Cover of Affiches (posters) magazine, August 1927
Between the end of the First World War in 1918 and the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, Japanese graphic design as represented in advertsing posters, magazine covers and book covers underwent a series of changes characterised by increasing Western influence, a growing middle class, industrialisation and militarisation, as well as (initially) left wing political ideals and (subsequently) right wing nationalism and the influence of European Fascist art forms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of Affiches (posters) magazine from August 1927 in Japan. Between the aftermath of World War I and the onset of the Pacific War, Japanese graphic design experienced a fascinating transformation, influenced by various factors. The image reflects an era marked by increasing Western influence, as Japan embraced new artistic styles and techniques. During this period, Japan witnessed significant societal changes such as the rise of a burgeoning middle class and rapid industrialization. These shifts were reflected in art forms like advertising posters, magazine covers, and book covers. Initially driven by left-wing political ideals, these designs later succumbed to right-wing nationalism and European Fascist art influences. The poster exudes a sense of style and fashion prevalent during that time. It serves not only as a visual representation but also as propaganda for various causes or products. This particular piece is an emblematic example of how graphic design was utilized to convey messages effectively. As we delve into history through pictures like this one, we gain insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage while exploring its dynamic evolution amidst changing socio-political landscapes. This image encapsulates both the artistic prowess of Japanese designers at that time and their ability to adapt to global trends while maintaining their unique identity within Asia's diverse tapestry.
