Post WWII there were many art ties like this made in Japan for US consumption. If I knew more Japanese characters I could trace down the artists.

Ah very interesting. Did they prove quite popular then? And do we know very much about Japanese fashions at the time? It's not something I've ever looked into.

These were made in Occupied Japan: the primary market was U.S. servicemen stationed there.

They were fairly popular for a time.
If you want to see Japanese fashions of the time---look at American fashions of the time. We influenced their fashions by being there for quite a while.

Fascinating. Interesting to see that mix of American international fashion and traditional dress among those individuals.

A few days ago, I made another new necktie.
