The Ladies’ Graphic (Fujin Gurafu) (October 1924)

A society with high literacy rates, and an insatiable appetite for the latest information, resulted in an extensive range of periodical magazines – positioning graphic designers, illustrators and photographers at the forefront of art and social trends. Women’s magazines and journals were the most popular, and between 1911–1930 more than 200 titles were launched. They encouraged individual thought and played an important role in the construction of the modern Japanese state.
