Eschewing perfect presentation for real-world wear and tear, Ide’s graphic art collection is an ode to the resilience of vintage poster culture

Featuring almost 500 rare posters collected over many years by music producer and DJ Yasushi Ide, Vintage Poster Scrap presents an expansive survey of graphic works connected to music, film, social events and popular culture. The images are not presented as pristine catalog reproductions but rather as posters with visible folds, stains and aging and of varying image quality. This approach reflects the book’s concept as a scrapbook-like archive, emphasizing the physical reality and lived history of these materials. Through this editorial choice, the collection conveys how posters existed in real urban environments—handled, pasted, removed and reused—carrying traces of time and use.

Curated through Ide’s distinctive perspective as a cultural participant and observer, Vintage Poster Scrap moves beyond nostalgia to reconsider posters as living documents of cultural history.

Yasushi Ide is a Tokyo-born-and-based music producer, artist and collector.
