This book is 1959 and I am still on my quest to answer who is Tatsuo Ikeda the illustrator. On the Japanese site where I found this the administrator does believe it to be the same person as the artist Tatsuo Ikeda and in the swirl of the dark forest I do see similarities, but find it odd that no one has mentioned a quite extensive repertoire of illustrated children's literature. Plus the signature's though similar differ in that the illustrations have, 'Ike' and paintings full 'Ikeda'.
