51 Japanese Characters

51 Japanese Characters is a collection of characters based on archetypes within Japanese society.  Designer Peter Machat, created the characters while living in Japan.  Each character has a name and insightful description.  Oh, and did I mention the super cute caricatures?  You can purchase a poster or postcard set of all 51 characters on Peter's website.  Even if you are not planning on purchasing anything, take the time to visit the website.  It is done in an impressively stunning, minimalistic style.    (Found through Josh Spear).
