Japanese illustration in the 20's

From the Kodomo no kuni gallery of Artists and Children's Books illustration in 1920 Japan. Some of my favorite pics:

Takei Takeo : Origami 1927

Takei Takeo : Straw crafts 1928

Kawakami Shiro: Horse jump 1929

Kawakami Shiro: The live bears 1930

Kitahara Hakushu: Drops 1929

Koga Harue: Merry May 1932, this one reminds me of French artist Fernand Léger!
