Shigeru Hatsuyama, Andersen's Fairy Tales

Japanese Publication

$49.95

Shigeru Hatsuyama, a Japanese illustrated edition of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales / A lovely hardcover picture book, 115 pages, 7.5 x 9.25 inches / Text in Japanese / this is a 2015 reprint of a book from 1925

***

I featured these illustrations on 50 Watts years ago. The illustrated cover is in a totally different style from the interior illustrations (often the case in Japan at that time, at least from what I've seen digging in databases).
