Abstract

en_US
I am so glad to see a publisher take up Barboutau's classic work published in the mid 1890's and reproduce it well, as this large and impressive volume does. The detailed work of the skilled Japanese artists is able to stand up to the expansion of the illustrations. The details still look good. This book also solves a problem in the Japanese first editions, namely that the illustrations spread across two pages, and some of the artistry in the very center of the two pages was not visible. Here a sturdy spine enables a viewer to see the full image. Among my favorites from this viewing are: "The Blind and the Lame" (16-17); "The Mole and the Rabbits" (32-33); "The Phoenix" (52-53); "The Dervish, Crow, and Falcon" (60-61); "The Two Bald Men" (72-73); and "The Rabbit and the Duck" (80-81). The three artists are acknowledged for their specific contributions on 127.
