[Japanese] Aesop's Fables 3

Abstract

I thought I had recognized this art work. A bit of probing, and I found my 1990 Korean Aesop's Fables, Volume 1, edited by Jae Chon Son. That book is hard-covered and this soft; that book is slightly larger; it is in Korean, and works from left to right, while this book is in Japanese, and works from right to left. Otherwise they are indentical! The four fables (TMCM, GA, The Axe-Loser, and The Bat, the Birds, and the Animals) and the format are thus the same: one design echoes the facing full page. See my comments there.
