Fracture: Japanese Graphic Design 1875–1975 is a profusely illustrated, dynamically designed, and easy-to-read survey of the history of Japanese graphic design. Designer, educator, critic, and historian Ian Lynam explores graphic design in Japan from its foundations in the graphic arts to the immediate pre-digital design era. Fracture is grounded by a number of essays that help readers understand the tremendous cultural shifts that have happened in Japan since it re-opened to the West, exploring modernity, imperialism, gender, commercialism, sexuality, and aesthetics.
