Anotations

Scope note:

Tokyo Pop is a concept proposed by art historian Hiroko Ikegami in acknowledgement of a tendency inspired by American Pop Art. It began in 1963 when the news of New York Pop Art arrived in Tokyo, and continued through the mid-1970s. Inspired by this news, two sets of cultural practitioners, fine artists and graphic designers, combined the crisp industrial aesthetics and the interest in popular culture, both the contemporary American kinds and the traditional Japanese kinds, the latter including a range of graphic cultures such as ukiyo-e and vernacular and everyday designs.
