Kodomo no kuni - Kodomo no kuni and It's Artist

Beautiful pre-WWII Japanese artistic children's magazine:

"Kodomo no kuni was one of the leading artwork-featuring journals for children founded and published in 23 volumes and 265 issues from January1922 to March 1949.

The magazine included pictures, stories, children's songs, dances, plays, and articles on handicrafts for young children. In format and content pioneering the totally new genre of artistic children's magazine, it was published by Tokyosha."

I've seen links for this today on boingboing, metafilter, and several other places. The artwork is very delicate and colorful, very interesting to compare it to artistic styles current in manga and anime.
