This book contains a selection of outstanding designs for handbills that were distributed in bustling areas of Osaka during 1910s-1950s. The diverse range of advertising iers, including guide maps for department stores, merchandise outlines for retail shops, and

Based on the undimmed freshness of the designs and their bold com-positional power, the handbills function as a storehouse of graphics and ne designs.
