Beautiful, handmade, antique, woodblock print book, published by Kobunsha which later became T Hasegawa publishing of Tokyo. A first edition, early printing, printed on plain paper rather than the crepe paper used in later printings in the series.

Part of the Japanese Fairy Tale Series- a popular, large set of Japanese cultural stories, translated to English and artfully composed. Bound with light blue thread.

In near fine condition with very light wear to edges and corners, but largely flat, bright, unmarked, and with intact binding.
