This book is a swatch (fabric sample book) published by Toyo Rayon (Toray) in 1960, but because it has three languages but no Japanese (English, French, Western), it is a material export. It is thought that it was created for. Perhaps the leading edge of fashion, from luxury to costume brands, may have been due to the era when France and other European countries were central. The cover uses a new nylon material, acrylic plate such as pink and yellow blue, etc., and the graphic design is also excellent. When you check the credits of the designer, the names "Kohei Sugiura", "Akira Uno" and "Sadao Sugaya" are engraved. Also, although a photo illustration wearing a costume is inserted, the photographer's credits show the names of “Shotaro Akiyama”, “Takashi Kijima”, “Akira Sato”, and “Ichitaka Narahara”. Although it was for overseas strategy, I was surprised at the fact that I was doing "catalog production" using artists with such big names in this era.
