Green Willow : and other Japanese fairy tales

James, Grace, Goble, Warwick, ill · 1910 · London : Macmillan and Co. · 39 pictures

Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales is a 1910 collection of Japanese folk tales retold by Grace James and illustrated by Warwick Goble, published in London by Macmillan for a general readership of children and adults. Its pictures are watercolour-like, with pale washes, flowing drapery and stylised Japanese figures, many printed sideways, so a designer might borrow the soft palette, decorative patterned kimono textures and the mix of fine line with wash.
