There are no "flimsy pages", but the magazine itself is in good, slightly faded condition. Remarkable work.. Hard to believe this was a children's magazine, given the aesthetics and high-quality production.. Kodomo no Kuni コドモノクニ [The Land of Children] was the finest children's magazine of the prewar period in Japan. Amazingly long-lived, it was published from 1922 to 1944. There were contributions in each heavily illustrated issue by some of the finest illustrators, painters, and writers of the time. A wonderful artifact at the intersection of high art and popular illustration. In good condition throughout. A lovely work. .
