h2 DescriptionA stunning full-
color collection of over 550 vintage Japanese canned food labels from the Meiji (1868–1912) to Showa (1926–1989) eras. Canned foods—once a symbol of progress and modern life—were first produced in Japan in 1871 (Meiji 4). Many early labels were designed for export markets, showcasing Japan’s artistry and innovation to the world. This beautifully curated book features labels for fish, meat, shellfish, fruits, and vegetables, each reflecting the era’s aesthetics, cultural influences, and international aspirations. You’ll find a variety of bold
color palettes, unique typography, and imaginative motifs, revealing the evolution of Japanese commercial art and packaging design. Even after more than half a century, these labels remain fresh, inspiring, and full of charm, offering a glimpse into Japan’s early graphic design culture and creative spirit.
