5.0 out of 5 stars
More than a tin soldier, April 11, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: 1000 Tin Toys (Paperback)
More than a tin soldier.
1000 Tin Toys by Teruhisa Kitahara, photographed by Yuko Shimizu.
Call this book the mother of all collecting books. It is a vast compendium of photographs of 1,000
tin toys collected by obsessive Japanese master collector Teruhisa Kitahara. A visual
feast of full-color photos that gives one pause to consider Kitahara's life work of
collecting. Truth be told, an inspiration for artists, designers, photographers, tin toy
collectors, and children of any age. Why would anyone want to own this book? For
the same reason that anyone would collect over 1000 tin toys- the sheer delight of it.
