That's really cool, Mulboyne. Did you happen to find any links to more pics from that collection? A really quick browse didn't yield any results for me.

I just clicked through some of the links on the BAM page. Sour Duck mentions a couple of others too.

That Taisho Chic exhibition is currently running at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum.

I popped along to this exhibition yesterday. It's worth a look and runs until the 1st of July. The Teien Museum is a particularly apt place: it's an art deco building commissioned by Prince Asaka (he of the Nanjing Massacre) and one of the pictures featured is based on a photograph taken in one of the rooms. It is small, however, so not all the exhibits from Honolulu are on display. The image below of actress Takako Irie is one of the iconic pictures and it seems like it is the first time it has been on public display here for 75 years.

You should've asked me Bird. I probably have some in my family album!
