Notably, the luxurious lineup of writers and illustrators, including Yumeji Takehisa, Gyofu Soma, and Tomoyoshi Murayama, brought together talented individuals representing the romantic and avant-garde art of the time, exuding an artistic quality that transcends the boundaries of children's books. With consideration for lower grade levels, the book adopts an educational structure that transitions from katakana at the beginning to hiragana in the latter half. Vivid illustrations and modern line drawings color the world's fairy tales and stories. Amidst the popularity of magazines like "#Akai Tori," #Kan Kikuchi, with the full support of Bungeishunju, provided high-quality knowledge and dreams in the form of a complete collection. Even after nearly 100 years, the passion of the educators and artists residing on the pages vividly conveys the感動 (impression/emotion) that the children of the time received.
