- Curator's comments
- Catalogue of a prize-winning exhibition of advertising photography held by Asahi Newspapers in 1932. Lion toothpaste, Morinaga milk chocolate, Kikkoman soya sauce, Fukusuke tabi, Swift's Plate corned beef, Polydor records, and Kao soap are shown in a fabulous array of permutations. There is a beautiful range of expressions, styles, and techniques; one can virtually touch the excitement of experimentation in the new field of shinko shashin. The appendix gives a list of over three-hundred commercial photographers in the whole of Japan together with their addresses. No copy in OCLC. (Titus Boeder, 4/2007)
