Osamu Goods

Just picked up this book from the Giant Robot Store. Osamu Goods Style is a collection of products illustrated and designed by Osamu Harada. Full of "cute" characters on a range of products. His designs are inspired from the America of the 50's and 60's. The book contains items he created during the 1980's when Japan was in the "bubble" period. In the 90's after collapse of the economy he licenesed his characters out and has very little to do with the products being produced today in Japan.
