I'm new to Mercari. I'm still learning as I list items, so there may be some mistakes. I will do my best to be careful in my dealings, so thank you for your understanding. m(_ _)m Two picture books published by Iwasaki Shoten: * *Baku no Namida* (The Tears of the Baku) - 1975, First Edition, Mother and Child Picture Book 25 * *Akai Kutsu* (The Red Shoes) - 1981, 4th Printing, Ehon Dreamland 1 The idyllic illustrations by Yasui Awa, known for "Chiisana Kureyon" (Little Crayons), are wonderful. The author is Aman Kimiko, the author of "Kuruma no Iro wa Sora no Iro" (The Color of Cars is the Color of the Sky). I don't think these are particularly hard to find. These are used books from a bygone era. There is age-related yellowing, staining, discoloration on the covers, scratches, and wear and tear that are noticeable. Please check the condition in the images, and understand that these are items inspected by an amateur, used by children, and stored at home. Please consider purchasing accordingly. As these are items from a bygone era, there may be overlooked damage such as deterioration, writing, or tears that are difficult to see in the images. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a pristine item, are strict about condition, or are overly concerned about details. The images may appear slightly cleaner than the actual item, and the colors may appear slightly different. I am not accepting individual sales of items that are listed together. I will consider price reductions at my discretion, so please refrain from requesting them. Please refrain from significant discounts (over 10%), negotiations from the announcement section, and negotiations using standard phrases. Please check my profile and use your own words when making a request. I would appreciate it if you could comment before purchasing so that I can confirm the condition of the item. (This is required for this item. If you purchase without commenting, please send a message stating "I have confirmed the damage and it's okay.") ☆ If you have time, please read my profile as well. I look forward to your purchase. *~(〃^ｖ^〃)v ※ I strictly prohibit the use, reproduction, or imitation of my product descriptions.
