コドモノクニ ... Children's Country




 













International Authors colleague, Japanese artist Nobxhiro Santana, provides the following:

The title is written from the right side and is written in katakana as "
コドモノクニ". Meaning: Children's Country.

The bottom left of the title is "September," and the bottom right is Volume 10, No. 10.

At the bottom left, it says "three-page large appendix included".

 From Wikipedia:

『コドモノクニ』は、192211日から194431日にかけて東京社(現ハースト婦人画報社)から出版されていた児童雑誌[1]。子供のために描かれる童画という絵画ジャンルの確立に寄与した、大正時代を代表する絵雑誌である[2]

Translation:

"Kodomonokuni" was a children's magazine published by Tokyosha (currently Hearst Fujingahosha) from January 1, 1922 to March 1, 1944. It is a representative pictorial magazine of the Taisho era that contributed to the establishment of the genre of children's pictures drawn for children."     Source
