How can social change be demonstrated by a small mindset?

At the beginning of the twentieth century, postcards quickly replaced traditional carpography as the most popular form of images in contemporary Japan. In order to meet the public’s urgent need for images that represent a rapidly evolving modern country, hundreds of millions of postcards have been produced. Many of the first glasses were distributed by the Government in the Japanese-Russian war (1904-1905) and were produced for war propaganda purposes. However, almost at the same time, many well-known artists have also been attracted by the informal and private nature of the medium of the creed and have begun to create an alarming design of the postcard. For these paintings and designers, postcards also provide an encouraging opportunity: They can experiment with the latest European style, such as the new arts campaign style and the decorative arts style.

Between 1900 and 1940, Japan was transformed into an international, industrialization and highly urbanized society. At this time, the documentary is both a fresh visual expression and an important advertising tool.

Leonard A, March 2002. Lauder donated more than 20,000 Japanese cards to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. These works were born mainly in Japan in the early twentieth century and several years before the Second World War, and have shown a wide range of themes and styles.

Art styles

In the 20th and 30th centuries, Japan was accompanied by a dynamic development in the area of culture as an international metropolitan city, and the art of decoration was closely linked to the development of Japanese urban cultures. Graphic designers of plastic arts are known for several graphics, linear styles and saturated colours, which are often used by designers of creative advertisements and new cards.
