Nice collection Chuck!

I especially like the Stuft Shirt post card, I never went but my parents enjoyed it.

The logo type makes me wonder if it could have been part of the inspiration for SHAG's House Industries "Lounge" font?

Not totally tiki nor mid-century in USA.
These are from '70 Expo Japan. I still remember some of these architectures I had seen when I was a little kid and these images stuck in my head since then. Yes I collect things from that era, just can not help it....
