Joel of Ephemera Assemblyman and I share an affinity for vintage Japanese postcards. His search on Museum of Fine Arts, Boston uncovered several fantastic works with a Year of the Monkey theme. See more of his ace picks here. Plus check out my first feature which includes 8 of my own favorite postcards.

Exquisite designs!
Thank you for the posts!
Wish there were more of the great designs like the 30′s being done today.
Just gorgeous! Japanese art from all periods – but particularly ‘art deco-y’ ’30′s gives a positively visceral reaction! Thanx :)(:
