Fairytale Stamps

Picture book master Mitsumasa Anno replays classic fairy tales and uses stamps to create the fantasy of One Thousand and One Nights.

It is a small piece of paper and a small magic carpet.

Put a stamp on it and let the words and pictures take the wings of imagination and travel together.

A long time ago, a minister of a country made a suggestion to the king: "I think it is necessary to implement postal services in our country. What do you think? After writing the letter, write the name and address of the recipient, and then affix a stamp. , put it in the mailbox, and the letter will be delivered to the other party. Just put a small piece of paper like a "stamp" on it."

In order to draw this "little paper", the minister searched all over the country, but only found Peda, an apprentice painter who had not yet graduated. Although the paintings submitted by Peida were repeatedly rejected by the ministers, he had an unbridled storytelling ability and could always tell a "backstory" for his works. As a result, the minister in charge of stamp design and the half-tone painter who is a good storyteller, you and me, you and me, imagination, humor, and full of fairy tales, intertwined to create a stamp version of One Thousand and One Nights.
