Author
Mitsumasa Anno (1926–2020) was a Japanese illustrator and author of children’s books, born in Tsuwano, Shimane Prefecture. After earning a teaching degree in 1948, he taught mathematics in Tokyo elementary schools for ten years before turning to picture books. His detailed, often wordless illustrations became known for visual puzzles, mathematical ideas, and playful journeys through history and culture.
Anno’s books include Anno’s Counting Book, Anno’s Journey, Anno’s Britain, Anno’s Mysterious Pictures, and Anno’s Animals. He received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration in 1984 in recognition of his lasting contribution to children’s literature.
