First published in 1968, this book is the eighth edition, published in 1990. Shiko Munakata, who was praised by Kanjiro Kawai as "I've found a remarkable guy," carved many illustrations that support this book. ★This is an article about what children in my hometown, a small port town in the San'in region, saw, were seen by, and how they lived, roughly sixty years ago, in the middle of the Meiji era... ※Title: Sixty Years Ago Today ※Author: Kanjiro Kawai ※Binding: Hardcover ※Publisher: Toho Shobo ※Price: Unknown as it is not listed (probably around 3500 yen?) There is some staining on part of the hardcover (image 12), and the spine is sun-faded (image 13), but the inside is "pristine." You might find it in used bookstores, but it seems difficult to find one in good condition. This is a book I'd like to keep, but... I'm hesitant, and after much deliberation, I'm putting it up for sale. The "Wood Carving Boy" used for the spread is not included. Thank you for looking.
