One way, asobserved in Japanese culture and the education system, is art appreciation, especially for children through picture books (e-hon).Picture books have played a major role in children's interaction with culture, nature and creativity and a rich source of childentertainment. In Kenya’s case, a child may be able to access a storybook either from school or a bookstore; this is not the casefor many. However, there is a huge need for children to access something different, attractive and available that can keep themengaged through books with fewer words and more well-illustrated pictures. This can only be effective through picture books.This study finds out more about Japanese art development and the possibilities of having similar picture book culture in Kenya and East Africa as a whole.},
