Kyoto Shoin Arts Collection 39 Meiji Bijin-ga (Beauties Paintings) Meiji Esprit Seen in Picture Postcards Toshio Miyago I have kept this book on my bookshelf for many years for preservation. The two items in the 10th image are also included. In 1900 (Meiji 33), the authorization of "private postcards" sparked an unprecedented postcard boom in Japan. This is a masterpiece collection focusing on "Bijin-ga postcards," which were particularly popular. This is a color paperback published by the now-defunct Kyoto Shoin, edited by postcard collector Toshio Miyago. [Bijin-ga Postcards] Features over 100 "Bijin-ga postcards" by a diverse range of artists, from Japanese painters who followed the Ukiyo-e tradition (Toshikata Mizuno, Kiyokata Kaburagi, Shōen Uemura, etc.) to Western-style painters (Kunisuke Hashimoto, Hiromitsu Nakazawa, etc.), and emerging artists such as Takehisa Yumeji, who was still a student at the time. [Comical Newspaper Postcards] Features over 100 selected items from "E-hagaki Sekai" (Picture Postcard World), a special edition published by Takigawa Miyake's satirical newspaper "Kokkei Shimbun" (Comical Newspaper) during the postcard boom. This edition contained 26 issues, each with 30 postcards, showcasing bizarre ideas and novel designs. [Meiji Esprit] Toshio Miyago Please consider it.
