App Description

Japanese Fairy Tales: Stories from the Land of the Rising Sun includes tales that are fast-paced, simple plotted narratives that combine entertainment with moral instruction in equal measures.

The Japanese Fairy Tales app is a digital collection of 20 brilliantly illustrated children's books from Takejirō Hasegawa's 1885 Japanese Fairy Tale Series. The stories contained in this app have been handed down from parent to child for hundreds of years and are still in wide circulation today.

App Features:

• High Resolution Images: View books, images and documents in high resolution. You can easily zoom in to see the smallest details. You may even see library marks within the books, just as you would if you held the book in real life.

• Offline Bookshelf: Download the books for easy reading, anytime.

All artifacts within this app are available only in English.
