The collection held by the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology provides perfect material for developing a kind of mini-compendium of Polish poster art and Japanese cinema in the second half of the 20th century. The works were created between 1951 and 1993, in the period of the greatest flourishing of both Japanese film and Polish graphic arts. The textual contributions included in the publication make it easier for the readers to find their way through both these realms. Magdalena Czubińska, a recognised graphic arts expert, offers an interesting historical review of Polish film poster art. Piotr Kletowski, a film studies scholar and populariser of Far Eastern cinema, provides brief descriptions of the specific films and points to the most important features decisive for the unique character of Japanese cinema. A fusion of the two disciplines is attempted by the Japanese studies scholar and curator of the exhibition, Wioletta Laskowska-Smoczyńska, briefly analysing the mutual relations of the two worlds – poster design and film – in a situation where one culture’s phenomena were described with tools developed in another.
