In response to the wide acclaim from teachers, parents, and children alike all over the world for the first edition of this book, it has now been completely revised, with new stories, and with entirely new illustrations throughout by Yoshisuke Kurosaki, one of Japan's most noted illustrators of children's books. The 90 new and charming illustrations, including 12 in full color, are in the typical Japanese style, adding double interest and authenticity to the fascinating stories themselves.
Such stories as these, while appealing to children everywhere, are still true expressions of Japanese character and customs. As such they are sure to create a sympathetic understanding for the culture and ways of another land.
