Remarques & avis / Review — 'Ohanashi no Takarabako' (The Tale Treasure-Box) is a recent collection, remarkable for its modern and talented illustrators and its fine and strange fairytales in off-beat style and often in Kansai dialect — to the point that one wouldn't think of it as children books!
Here is a beautiful tale by the famous Japanese children's writer Yoshitomo IMAE, of a family moving house, of a little girl and a teddy bear that grows, with very lively illustrations by Hiroshi ABE.

"Ohanashi no Takarabako" (La boite au trésor d'histoires) est une collection récente, remarquable pour ses illustrateurs talentueux au trait moderne et coloré, et pour ses jolies et étranges histoires au ton décalé et souvent en dialecte du Kansai — au point qu'on a parfois du mal à croire qu'on se trouve en présence d'un livre pour enfants !
C'est ici la belle histoire, par le célèbre écrivain japonais de livres pour enfants IMAE Yoshitomo, d'un déménagement, d'une petite fille et d'un ours en peluche qui grandit, avec les très vivantes illustrations d'ABE Hiroshi.
