A Japanese writer/editor Makoto Yasuda has written three bestseller books to introduce Japanese school uniforms, the two parts of "High School Girl Uniforms Encyclopedia" in 2010 and "Junior High School Girl Uniforms Encyclopedia" in 2011. So it is very logical for him to write the fourth entry, "Elementary School Uniforms Encyclopedia" this year. In this book released in Japan yesterday, he introduces multiple color illustrations of 65 private elementary schools' uniforms for boys and girls drawn by 22 Japanese illustrators. He hopes in his blog, "I would be more than happy if this book helps the kids choose their future school." All four books are published by Gentousha.
