That image above is from this website, which tells us:
Illustrations by Kawakami Shiro ( 川上四郎 絵) for the legendary illustrated magazine Kodomo no kuni ("Children's Land"), c1920s & 30s. "Together with Takeo Takei & Shigeru Hatsuyama, Kawakami is considered one of Japan’s pioneering illustrators for children’s books."
There are more at that link, which is officially http://50watts.com/Kawakami-Shiro.
Go have a look. They are quite lovely. I hope I can find some of those books one day, maybe even in translation?
