Menko Toys celebrates both a collectable class of ephemera and reflects Parisian artist, Antwan Horfees anthropological mind. This book, a sequel and expanded view of Horfees 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."
