Review: A fun short read with beautiful illustrations - This book is great, it has many Japanese stories and the illustrations just add to the charm. The cover is beautiful and a great display piece for book lovers, but I wish the book was a bit longer, as it is relatively short
Review: Beautiful illustration and fun reads - Generally speaking this book is easily one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve been able to own. Definitely one of my favorites and one I’ll use as stories to tell my own children someday. Each tale is anywhere between a few pages to a maximum of 20, all with their own lessons to be learned or something poetic in some way, complete with vivid illustration and a very clean quality paper and even it’s own bookmark. Definitely a must have for someone who loves Japanese literature or something unique to tell the kids before bed!
