Takeo Takei : Village of animals // 1927
“Takeo Takei is among Japan’s most influential children’s illustrators of the twentieth century.[citation needed] He was one of the first to create high-quality illustrations for children and was an early advocate of making artwork that respected and nurtured a child’s imagination.[citation needed] Nearly one hundred years after his work was first published, his influence in illustration, manga, animation, graphic design, computer game character and even advertising is as strong as ever.”
