Kansatsu ehon - Kinda bukku - boku kei.


TAKEI, Takeo. Kansatsu ehon - Kinda bukku - boku kei. 16 pp. including covers, all colour lithographs on light card. Oblong folio, 260 x 380 mm., bound in publisher's illustrated wrappers in a new blue cloth folding box. Tokyo: Fureberukan, 1932.

This is one in a series of "observation" books begun in 1927 by the now named Froebel-kan - based on the principles of educator Friedrich Froebel. An interesting example of prewar Japanese book design for children, with some of the plates verging on kitsch, and some almost surreally avant-garde.
