Japanese Postcards – MFA – Boston

 

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has one of the most extensive Japanese Postcard collections in the world. I have only just begun to explore it through their web-based “tours” which are just superb. 

The images here are just some of my favourites from the Japanese Postcards “Highlight”  tour which starts HERE. From this section you can jump to other sections such as Advertising, Sport etc.

Each image posted here is linked to the page at the MFA which contains the postcard and all the known information about it – such as Artist, Date, Material and so on. Just click on the INFO below each image to find out more:
