Antwan Horfée - Menko Boys Book
Collection of 320 pages of vintage Japanese playing cards by Parisian artist Antwan Horfee .
Artists like Antwan Horfee are enthusiastically obsessed with cheap toys and trashy entertainment. Cartoons were Horfee 's gateway into Japanese culture. Once he became an artist and was able to visit Japan, his explorations and interests became increasingly broad. One such interest was collecting Menko cards. The game of menko is believed to date back to the 1700s. This book is a small, carefully curated portion of Horfee 's own collection.
