The late Florence Sakade was an experienced editor and
author/compiler of many popular books on Japan such as A Guide to
Reading and Writing Japanese, Origami: Japanese Paper Folding, and
Japanese Children's Favorite Stories. Her distinguished career
spanned five decades, and she continued working until her death in
1999 at the age of 82.
Yoshisuke Kurosaki (1905-1984) studied at the Kawabata
Painting school and illustrated children's books from around 1927
until his death. His work has helped define the style of Japanese
children's book illustration in the 20th century.
"With these two books, Tuttle has been the leader in preserving the
foundation of Japanese heritage and folklore for Western children
of all ages. As the author/illustrator of new Japanese folktales, I
am privileged to be part of Tuttle's wonderful legacy." --Sunny
Seki, author and illustrator of Yuko-chan and the Daruma Doll and
The Last Kappa of Old Japan
"The best way to come to understand another culture is to get to
know its people…and the stories they tell. Stories are a primary
means for transmitting cultural values, information, philosophies,
and worldviews. This beautiful and engaging 60th Anniversary
edition strengthens the cultural bridge between Japan and the
English-speaking world for current and future generations."
--Willamarie Moore, author of All About Japan
"With its approachable writing style and whimsical illustrations,
the new edition of JCFS is poised to delight a fresh generation of
children. May it continue its valuable work of introducing the
charming lexicon of Japanese folk tales worldwide." --Rebecca
Otowa, author of At Home in Japan: a Foreign Woman's Journey of
Discovery
