Lonely Planet review for Advertising Museum Tokyo

Dentsu, Japan’s largest advertising agency, operates this museum of Japanese ads in the basement of the Caretta building. The collection covers wood-block printed handbills from the Edo period to sumptuous art nouveau and art deco Meiji- and Taisho-era works to the best of today. There’s not a lot of English signage, but the strong graphics of many of the ads stand alone. If you see advertising as art, it’s a spectacle, and there are video consoles to watch award-winning TV commercials from around the world.
