Menko Toys celebrates both a collectable class of
ephemera and reflects Parisian artist, Antwan Horfee’s
anthropological mind.
This book, a sequel and expanded view of Horfee’s
collection of Menko cards, presents the material again
as objects to interpret. Of course, each has a history.
Peter Lyle writes in the first edition “Menko Boys” (2019)
that Menko are "talismanic throwing cards with striking
art that now serves as documentation of the changes
Japanese society underwent over the 20th-century."
