Exhibit : Japanese Match Industry<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Boxes of matches used to be a familiar printed matter and were regarded fondly by people. But as a throw-away object, their life tends to be short. I embrace their fate and continue to collect them as a record of our everyday life.<\/p>\n

Japan export to Europe, Meiji – Taisho era, 37 x 56 mm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been collecting for 30 years (labels and skillets 50,000+).<\/p>\n

My collection mainly focuses on Japanese labels for export matchboxes in the Meiji – Taisho era (1868 – 1926).<\/p>\n

I am also interested in Japanese advertisement matchboxes used for pro-war propaganda produced just before Japan’s defeat in WWII.<\/p>\n
