『赤い鳥』と『児童世界』の比較研究 : 表紙絵を中心に

At the beginning of the 20th century, Akai Tori (Red Bird) and Ertong Shijie (Children's World) are the two most representative literature magazines for children in Japan and China, respectively. Study of these magazines has attracted many researchers' attention. However, there few studies have been devoted to the study of the pictures from these magazines. In this paper, taking the cover pictures of the two magazines as the research subject, we discover an interesting phenomenon in which girls' images appear many times on the covers of these two magazines. From three different aspects, which include the clothes, shoes, and hair of the girls, we form an explanation based on these observations.
