Kanban are Japanese shop signs. The ones in this book are handmade antiques, fairly small in scale, generally illustrative of the services or products they advertise. "Kanban, Shop Signs of Japan" opens with a brief and informative introductory essay, followed by almost 100 pages of illustrations of Kanban. Black and white, they are beautifully reproduced, on good quality matte paper, similar in quality to the illustrations in "How To Wrap Five Eggs". If the reader wants more than aesthetic appreciation of the signs, a Commentary section provides provenance, size and details of the signs' meaning. The book ends with a chronology, glossaries, and a bibliography. I am continually surprised by the skilled and artistic attention given to objects of daily life in Japan. I recently saw my first Kanban, and this book was a knowledgeable and pleasurable appreciation of them.
