Vintage Japanese Children's Picture Book – Kodomo no Tomo No. 49

$54.00
Details

Illustrated vintage Japanese children's picture book from the beloved Kodomo no Tomo ("Children's Friend") series published by Fukuinkan Shoten. Filled with charming mid-century illustrations depicting city life, traffic safety, and everyday scenes, capturing the optimism and design aesthetic of postwar Japan.

Fair vintage condition with cover wear, creasing, edge losses, and age-related discoloration. The original front and back covers have detached from the text block, and the binding is weakened, with some pages beginning to separate. Despite the wear, this remains a wonderful reference copy and collectible, prized for its iconic Yasuji Hanamori cover art and beautifully illustrated interiors.
