The Imperial Hotel Tokyo, 1900: A Menu Between Two Worlds

Long before the famous Frank Lloyd Wright building of 1923, the Imperial Hotel of Tokyo was already the meeting point of Imperial Japan and the Western elite. Its printed menus — bilingual in Japanese and English, with delicate typography in two scripts — are a singular category of pre-WWII transpacific ephemera. We have ten of them, dated 1900.
