Rajikase (Japanese abbreviation for radio cassette player, boombox) was introduced in the 1960s, the rapid economical growth period of Japan. Various electronics manufacturers competed to create new products in the 1970s and 1980s. Through the course of development of function and design, rajikase became widespread as a household commodity. From the 1990s the innovation of audio apparatuses such as CD players and MiniDisk and the proliferation of Internet have completely expelled rajikase from the market. This small booklet shows a collection from brands such as Sony, Sharp, National, Sanyo, Marantz, Aiwa, Toshiba and others.
