Ayumi Ohashi is one of Japan’s most influential illustrators, and her early career is closely connected to Heibon Punch, a major Japanese men’s magazine launched in 1964. Her distinctive illustrated covers helped define the magazine’s visual identity and captured the changing youth culture of postwar Japan. This special issue brings together her Heibon Punch covers from 1964 to 1971 in a magazine-like format. Turning the pages feels less like viewing a retrospective and more like encountering the atmosphere of the era itself. A wonderful document of Japanese illustration, publishing, fashion and popular culture.
