Children's magazine - Jidou Zasshi

Japanese: 児童雑誌 - じどうざっし

A periodical that publishes educational and entertainment material and articles aimed at children.
[Europe and the US]
In the second half of the 18th century in Europe, with the development of science and technology and economic growth, there was an active movement to widely and regularly disseminate reading material that had previously been written only for the education of children of a certain class. In England, G. Marshall founded the Juvenile Magazine (1788), and in the 19th century, excellent children's magazines such as The Children's Friend (1825-1860s), Boy's Own Magazine (1855-1874), and The Boy's Own Paper (1879-1912) were launched and continued to be published.
