Publisher, Size (h x w)
Unknown, Japan, 11.25 x 9" (28.58 x 22.86 cm), 214 pp., Japanese
This lavishly illustrated book documents the pioneering work of Ikko Tanaka's rich creative life from the 1950s to the early 1970s including: posters, book jackets, magazine covers, logos, advertisements, packaging and more. Beautifully designed and printed in Japan with an English article "The Best of Both Worlds" by Lou Dorfsman (the remaining text is Japanese). "Ikko Tanaka is a modest, quiet man who forms a graphic bridge from Tokyo to San Francisco." Highly recommended!
A fine satin hardcover with a very slight bend to the upper right hand corner pages throughout. Includes the uncommon very good cardboard slipcase.
