Description

Redstone matchboxes are inspired by the miniaturist magic of matchbox label art. All over the world, unknown artists have used this throwaway medium to make jokes and set puzzles, to celebrate the natural world, to charm, instruct and amuse. This box contains 24 collectible postcards (each is 6-1/2” x 4-1/2”) which depict with graphic wit and calligraphic charm the spectacular art of the Japanese matchbox in the early 20th century. The box opens like a traditional matchbox. “A very unique collectible and gift.”
