Prima edizione
Splendidly bound in finely woven yellow linen cloth stamped in red on the front boards and on the spine. Very clean and tight throughout with an inscription: "To Joe from Aunt Clara" on the half-title page. In an exceptionally colorful and bright dust jacket with small chips at the top and bottom of the spine at at two corners. The original price has been inked out. "With words fresh as rain and colors alive with light and air, the Yashimas have captured the delight and importance of being young." A lovely, collectible copy of this charming look at daily life in a Japanese village. Taro Yashima (1908 1994) was the pseudonym of Atsushi Iwamatsua Japanese artist who lived in the United States during World War II. The New Sun, published in 1943 under the name Taro Yashima, was a 310-page autobiographical picture book for adults, about life in pre-war,statist Sh wa Japan. Its sequel, Horizon is Calling, published in 1947, was in the same format usually one picture per page, with one or two lines of text. The 276-page tome continued the story of his life, this time with added Japanese text, and concluded with musings about leaving Japan to study art overseas. In both, he detailed his and Tomoe's maltreatment by the Japanese secret police. Yashima began writing and illustrating children's books early in the 1950s, under the pseudonym he had used in the OSS. The picture books Crow Boy (1956), Umbrella (1958), and Seashore Story (1967) were runners-up for the Caldecott Medal, later called Caldecott Honor Books. The annual award by professional librarians recognizes the illustrator of the "most distinguished American picture book for children".[3]Yashima returned to his home village of Nejime, visiting childhood classmates and familiar scenes that he depicted in several of his children's picture books. He and filmmaker Glenn Johnson produced a 26-minute documentary in 1971, hosted and narrated by Yashima, entitled Taro Yashima's Golden Village.[4] Mitsu Yashima (1908-1988) whose real name was Tomoe Sasako was a Japanese children's book author and wife of Taro Yashima. Mitsu was the daughter of a shipbuilding company executive. She attended college in Japan. In the '30s, she joined a Marxist study group, where she met her future husband, artist Taro Yashima. On December 10th, 1933, Mitsu and Taro had their first child, Makoto Iwamatsu, who would become a renowned actor and voice actor. In 1939 she and Taro went to America, with Mako, to study art. When World War II broke out, Mitsu joined the U.S. war effort, working for the OSS by sending American propaganda to the Japanese. She adopted the pseudonym Mitsu Yashima during the war. Following the war, Mitsu and Taro had their second child Momo, who also appeared in many of their children's books. Mitsu died at the age of 80 on December 7, 1988.
