Happy Amusement Park

japan_frontcover.jpg Whew. I’ve finally finished preparing and uploading a flickr set of scans from an early ’60s issue of the long running Japanese childrens’ magazine Tanoshii Youchien (Happy Amusement Park Kindergarten). I came across this find last year in a Bisbee, AZ collectibles store and couldn’t put it down. The pages contain a bunch of wild and different illustration styles, but they all have that indefinably “Japanese” look. Stop by, and if by chance you know some Japanese, feel free to help translate! Arigato.
